Mic check Mic check
Checking the microphone before starting the song

Am i al'right? Thanks a lot
Asking if everything is ok and expressing gratitude

Yo! It's Brodha V, some of you might have heard of me,
Introducing himself to the audience

I talk about money
Talking about the importance of money in life

I talk about rap music
Talking about his love for the art of rap

I talk about gettin' high
Talking about his past interest in drugs and intoxication

But now, I'ma talk about God
Switching the topic to God and spirituality

Back in the time,
Referring to his past experiences

when I was lacking a dime
When he was financially struggling

My hopeless youth had me slowly get attracted to crime
His difficult past led him towards a life of crime

Then sat an alliance,
He found a group of like-minded individuals

to talk it out with practical minds
Who helped him to think more practically and positively

Felt a force within me,
He felt a spiritual force

get all my talents combined,
He found a way to combine his various talents

Enacted a mime,
He started expressing himself through the art of rap

enlightened I decided to rhyme,
He realized that he found his calling in rapping

Delighted and excited.
He was happy and excited about his new path

I'm planning to rap till I'm prime.
He plans to rap and make music until the end of his prime time

Started spilling ink on the paper
He started writing his thoughts and lyrics on paper

and planned to get signed.
His goal was to get a record deal

But the world is biased,
The world is unfair and biased

so wild, they got me slapped with a fine
He faced difficulties and punishments due to the biased nature of the world

I never got a chance,
He didn't get many opportunities

Never let me spit on the mic,
He couldn't showcase his talent on stage

Only cuz I come from a land
Due to his background from India

where people ain't white
Where people are discriminated against based on their skin color

Day and night I keep flowing, completing all my demo tracks,
He worked hard on his craft, creating demo tracks day and night

Inspite being denied the right by
Despite facing rejection and oppression

anti-democrats
From people who are against his artistic expression

Unleash my rage through music intense
He expresses his anger and frustration through his music

The cultural shock that got my whole community tensed
He witnessed a cultural shock that had a negative impact on his community

That's when I, close my eyes and talk to God
In times of struggle, he turns to God for guidance and strength

Peace in my head, I'm singing this song and it goes
Finding peace through music and spirituality

Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana
Praising God with his song's chorus

Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana
An expression of devotion to different forms of God

Life is an octopus tryna choke you with tentacles
Life is difficult and suffocating

Survived by only those who prove to be sensible
Only the wise and strong survive

With only two choices, good and the bad
Life presents two choices, good and bad

The hardest part is to be choosing a path, check this
It's tough to make the right choice for one's path in life

I could've got myself in dealing with drugs
He could have ended up dealing with drugs

Or maybe pop a weaker person dead
He could have committed violent crimes

while chilling with thugs
Being in bad company and getting influenced by them

Maybe, blow up my father's money spending on clothes
He could have spent his father's money recklessly.

Fake an attitude for winning all em feminine votes
He could have pretended to be someone he's not to impress others

One point of time, I got absorbed in foolish lies
He fell for foolish notions

Was juvenile, thought it was cool to get into brutal fights
As a young man, he used to think that violence was cool

I even had the thrilling urge to kill
He had violent impulses

The next second, the whole feeling reversed to guilt
He felt guilty soon after having such thoughts

I was offered a gun, that's when I dropped it for a mic
He rejected violence and embraced music instead

Took rap as a career and I thought that this was right
He chose rap as his career path

I close my eyes and give my thanks to God
His gratitude towards God for leading him on the right path

I'm being frank and I'm speaking my mind naked
He's being honest and genuine, expressing himself freely

Everyday on my knees, praying to God that I make it
He prays to God for success and guidance every day

The only hope that keep me going is I know I'm artistic
His art keeps him motivated

To levels extreme, my haters agree I'm God-gifted
Even his haters can acknowledge his talent

But that don't mean I lay around like clinical bait
He doesn't take his talent for granted or become complacent

When its mayhem in my head at such subliminal rate
Sometimes his thoughts and emotions are chaotic

Cyclic monotony for me is cursed as debt
He hates being stuck in a cycle of monotony

I'm only halfway through the phase between Birth and Death
Life is short and he feels like he still has a lot to accomplish

One day, I wish to be like
He has aspirations to be like his inspirations

Eminem
One of his inspirations in rap music

2Pac
Another one of his inspirations in rap music

And have a million people chanting, Brodha V you rock
He dreams of having a huge fan base that loves and appreciates his music

And maybe, wish to have a girl like
His desire to find a partner who's compatible and attractive to him

Emma Watson
One of the actress he finds attractive

Or even accept a Grammy on stage while Mama's watching
Winning a Grammy award and sharing the moment with his mother

But till then, I'mma see days when the weather be rough
He knows that there will be tough days ahead

I better be tough, Brodha V gon' never give up
He will remain tough and determined to never give up in his pursuit of success.

Now imma, Close my eyes and talk to God
Closing his eyes and talking to God once again

Peace in my head, I'm singing this song and it goes
The peace he finds within himself through his music and spirituality
