Thotta load aage waiting
Quite ah senju vida planning
Lite ah gap kedachalum shooting
Nelavaram theriyama avan mattum chilling
Thotta load aage waiting
Quite ah senju vida planning
Lite ah gap kedachalum shooting
Nelavaram theriyama avan mattum chilling
Yaanai veataikku pona modhalla
Kuzhiya vettithaan wait pannanum
Un edhiri yannai madhiri irundha
Adikura adiyila avan thalai kalanganum
Vazhi illada vera vazhi illada
Oru murai thodanguna mudivillada
Sari illada ethum thavarillada
Un iraiya paathu nee kuri vaiyuda
Thotta load aage waiting
Quite ah senju vida planning
Lite ah gap kedachalum shooting
Enime illa warning
Kaatuku raja singam naalum
Kalavanithanam panna nari venum
Un katthiya vidavum butthi thaan
Theva maamu
Over adhupula eduthom kavuthomnu
Ethulaiyum erangida mudiyathu
Aazham theriyama kaalai
Vidatha maamu
Uniform la ne irundha una thottidave
Maatom da
Kakki sattaya kalattittu vandha
Un kadhya naanga mudipom da
Nalla neram paathu ooru onnu
Kuudi poojai onnu poda kaathirukuthu
Manja thanni oothi katthi ellam theeti
Cut panna aadu kaathirukudhu
Thotta load aage waiting
Quite ah senju vida planning
Lite ah gap kedachalum shooting
Nelavaram theriyama avan mattum chilling
Thotta load aage waiting
Quite ah senju vida planning
Lite ah gap kedachalum shooting
Nelavaram theriyama avan mattum chilling
The bullet is loaded and waiting
Planning to finish the job quietly
Even with the slightest opening, we will shoot
Unaware of the situation, he is just chilling
The bullet is loaded and waiting
Planning to finish the job quietly
Even with the slightest opening, we will shoot
Unaware of the situation, he is just chilling
If you go hunting for an elephant, first
You have to dig a pit and wait
If your enemy is as huge as an elephant
The strike you land must leave his head spinning
There is no other way, man, no other way
Once it begins, there is no end
Nothing is right, and nothing is wrong
Lock eyes on your prey and take aim
The bullet is loaded and waiting
Planning to finish the job quietly
Even with the slightest opening, we will shoot
There are no more warnings now
Even if the lion is king of the jungle
You still need a fox to play dirty tricks
More than a sharp blade, it is your wits
That you really need, buddy
You cannot just act in haste
And jump headfirst into anything
Without knowing how deep the water is,
Do not step your foot in, buddy
As long as you are in uniform,
We will not lay a finger on you, man
If you take off that khaki shirt and come,
We will finish your story, man!
Waiting for the right time, the whole town
Has gathered to perform a sacrifice
Sprinkling turmeric water and sharpening the blades,
The goat is waiting to be slaughtered
The bullet is loaded and waiting
Planning to finish the job quietly
Even with the slightest opening, we will shoot
Unaware of the situation, he is just chilling
The bullet is loaded and waiting
Planning to finish the job quietly
Even with the slightest opening, we will shoot
Unaware of the situation, he is just chilling
