வேங்கமகன் அவன்
ஒத்தையில நிக்க
மொத்தமா வராய்ங்களே
He is a fierce leopard-like guy
Standing all alone
They are coming as a whole crowd...
நேந்து உட்ட
ஆட்டுக்குட்டிய
வெட்ட போறாய்ங்களே
Like a pledged
Young goat
They are going to slaughter...
க்யா ரே என்ன செட்டிங்கா
இல்ல பயத்துல ஒடம்பெல்லாம் ஸ்வேட்டிங்கா
உன் ஆளு முன்னால நத்திங்கா
ஆவபோற மச்சான் சாவபோறடா
What is this, what is the setup?
Or is your body sweating due to fear?
You are nothing in front of your girl
Are you going to make it, my friend, or are you going to die?
Pack your bags and leave home
Man I got you dethroned
I got enemies all around me
But man I’m in the safe zone
Cos I got friends who hold mu back
No…I ain’t going back
Haters wanna slow my track
But man I’m heading my pack
As you move away, I am
A wild beast, a wild beast am I
Again and again
Just rising up
We will come and stand tall, man
If you cause us trouble
We will slap twice over your ears, man
We a tribe
We a tribe
We going to take you by surprise
We going make you fall in line
Step aside this my fight
He is a fierce leopard-like guy
Standing all alone
They are coming as a whole crowd...
These ain’t fans brotha
This my family for life
This ain’t gangs brotha
I got armies by my side
Like a pledged
Young goat
They are going to slaughter...
நட்பே எந்தன் பலம்
நட்பே எந்தன் வலம்
நட்பிருக்கும் வரையில்
நான் இல்லை தனி மரம்
சோ என் பகைவரும் அஞ்சி நடுங்கிடும்
எங்கள் நட்பு சரித்திரம்
அனைவரும் சமம்
என்ன மதிப்பது எங்கள் குணம்
What is this, what is the setup?
Or is your body sweating due to fear?
You are nothing in front of your girl
He won't amount to anything, he just put on a show
முன்னால போக நினைக்குற எங்கள்
பின்னால தள்ள நினைச்சாலும்
தன்னால சாதிகனும்முனு நினைக்குற
எங்க கனவுகள் நீங்க அழிச்சாலும்
For a few days
I have been staying a bit cool
Don't provoke my anger
Don't cause any trouble
Don't pour volcanic lava
Over rice like curry
You will get fried and charred like a stir-fry
You will crumble and burn down
Underneath the firewood stove
For all these henchmen
Blows will fall from now on
விலக விலக நான்
விலங்கு விலங்கு நான்
திரும்ப திரும்ப
சும்மா எழுந்து எழுந்து
வந்து நிப்போம்டா
கொடசாலு குடுத்தாக்கா
காது மேல ரெண்டு வெப்போம்டா
Haaa... aaa... aaa... hoo ooo
Friendship is our ultimate support
வேங்கமகன் அவன்

உன் ஆளு முன்னால நத்திங்கா
ஆவமாட்ட சும்மா சீன்ன போட்டடா
மீண்டும் ஒரு முறை
எங்க மீசைய முருக்க
வந்துருக்கேன் முடிஞ்சா
தடுத்து நிறுத்து
என்னை தடுக்க நினைச்சவனுக்கு
எடுத்து உணர்த்து
இது சாம்பிள் சம்பவம்
மண்ட பத்திரம்
நான் கொஞ்ச நாளா
கொஞ்சம் கூலா இருக்கிறேன்
கோவத்த ஏத்த
கோளாறு குடுக்காதா
எரிமலை கொழம்பா நீ
ரைஸ்க்கு ஊத்த
பொறியல போல பொரிஞ்சு கருகிடுவ
சரிஞ்சு எரிஞ்சுடுவா
விறகு அடுப்பு அடியில்
இந்த எடுபுடிகெல்லாம்
இனி விழும் அடிகள்
கம்முனு இருந்தேன்
ஏன் சீண்டி பாத்தா
உன் சவக்குழிய நீயே தோண்டி பாத்த
இனி அனுபவிப்ப
இந்த பொடியன் உங்கள செதறடிப்பான்
ரெடியா ரெடியா ரெடியா
முடிஞ்சா வந்து
புடிடா புடிடா புடிடா புடிடா
These ain’t fans brotha brotha
This my family for life
This ain’t gans brotha brotha
I got armies by my side
I got haters everywhere
But I don’t care about that
I got friends who hold my back
Man I’m coming with my pack
ஹா....ஆஅ....ஆஅ.....ஹூ ஓஒ
ஹேய் நட்பே துணை

The song warns opponents not to mistake a temporary calm for weakness, humorously and aggressively declaring that any provocation will lead to a swift defeat, all anchored by the core theme that true friendship is the ultimate strength.
