Man like Ikky

Ikky in the building

[Verse: Karan Aujla]

Vaade karke na kade eh jubaan mukri

I’ve never been a flip-flopper; when I give my word, it’s set in stone.

Jehde fukre ne muhro ohna de layi fukri

For the loud-mouthed posers, I’ve got the exact same disrespectful energy.

Hunn mitran nu shaunk hai ni race’an laun da ni

I’m way past the point of feeling like I need to compete with these amateurs.

Ni meri khich la lagam mainu aankhe nukri

She calls me an untamable stallion and keeps trying to rein me in.

Chitti sohniye kabutri vi rakhi hoi ae

I’ve got the white dove kept for the refined nights, love.

Kaali already mitran ne shakki hoi ae

And the dark one? I’ve already lived that wild life, man.

Thoda dekh ke friend’an kar choose nakhro ni

Be real picky about who you let in your circle, girl.

Mainu tere naal di ne jhalli pakhi hoi ae

Someone as genuine as you has been holding me down.

Sanu patdi ae sadgi na patte surkhi

I don't care for the heavy makeup; I’m a sucker for pure simplicity.

Ni main suttan Mexico kude utha Turkey

One night I’m crashing in Mexico, the next I’m waking up in Turkey.

Look at me now, sitting in luxury in Dubai, living the good life.

Eh taan lokan nu hi chaleya ni luck lagea

People keep saying it’s just my lucky streak.

Mera kinni waari dharti naal nakk lagea

They have no clue how many times I’ve been face-down in the dirt just to get here.

Jadon hiq utte VVS shine kardi

When the VVS stones start blinding people on my chest,

Bhai pata lagda ke 22 lakh lagea

That’s when they finally realize it cost me millions.

Aa je hip te clip biba mare sehnata

When the iron on my hip starts making noise, it’s a warning, lady.

Manifest vi kare naale kara mehnata

I’m busy manifesting the life, but I’m working ten times harder for it.

Tainu pata hoju velli naa pyaar goriye

Loving a hustler like me comes with its own heavy price, sweetheart.

Ni tu ankh na milawe laake rakhe ainaka

You won't even look me in the eye, keeping those shades on.

Assi peeth te ni hiq utte vaar karida

We don’t do backstabbing; we face our problems head-on.

Aapan jealousy ni karde pyar karida

I don't have time for envy; I focus on those I love.

Oh aadi banuga ya record toduga

I’m either going to become an addiction or a record-breaker.

Banda assi jehde hisab naal taiyar karida

That’s the standard of the man I’ve built myself into.

Kade gaya ni dhyan taan school’an te kude

Books never really caught my interest, girl.

Langi jandi Life bapu de asool’an te kude

I’m just navigating life based on my father’s strict code of honor.

Jithe mildi ni Matt Behas karda ni yaar

If the logic doesn't hold up, I’m not wasting breath arguing.

Chup bulla utte att kahton khulla te kude

Keep it low-key on the surface, no need to be loud and flashy.

Mera pehla pehla kandeya ne pair wadta

I had to walk through fire and thorns when I started out.

Mera time aaya kalla kalla kanda kadta

But when my moment hit, I cleared every single obstacle in my path.

Kalle da hi rohb aa bhatera goriye

My presence alone is enough to silence the room, darling.

Ni taahi toleya ch mitran ne auna chadd’ta

That’s why I don’t hang with the generic crowds anymore.

Dekh gutt 41 millimeter kude

Peep the 41mm timepiece on my wrist.

Dekh jatt thalle car 2 seater kude

Check the Jatt rolling in a sleek two-seater, girl.

Sawa lakh di si whiskey Macallan layi

I dropped over a hundred thousand just for a bottle of Macallan.

Dass minute ch mukati ek litre kude

And downed the whole liter in ten minutes flat.

Haye ni tainu diary’an hi de doon behke folli varke

I’ll hand you my journals so you can finally understand my journey.

Lai jawi gyan biba kole khadke

Absorb the real knowledge while you're standing by my side.

Kaliyan di knowledge bhateri jatt nu ni

The streets taught me more than any classroom ever could.

Halle likhda ni gane main kitaban padh ke

I don't need to crack open books to spit bars for these tracks.

I never imagined how high the Almighty would elevate me.

Khush rehne aa ni jithe sanu rakhe patshah

I’m just content wherever the Creator places me.

Esse kakre ni kade kitte jhooth boleya

That’s exactly why I refuse to lie.

Kyunki utte baitha dekhda ae sache patshah

Because the True King above sees right through it all.

Ni aa jo vi aa zameera dekh bal rahiya ne

My conscience is burning with everything that's going down.

Mainu ajj dass kal diya kal rahian ne

Tell me today, because time is slipping into the past before we know it.

Kade kade chhevien nu chalava goriye ni

Sometimes I rely on my sixth sense to navigate this maze, darling.

Dekh jatt diyan panj sense’an chal rahian ne

And look, my five senses are still sharp as ever.

Jadon khet dikheya te aapan bauni sikh lai

When life showed me the soil, I learned how to cultivate my own harvest.

Jadon mili mehbooba te varauni sikh lai

When I found love, I learned the art of sacrifice.

Overall taan halaat aap thik kare ni

I had to get in there and fix the mess myself.

Ni roti pakki ni mili te appan launi sikh lai

When the table was empty, I taught myself how to bake the bread.
