Go ahead, try to pull down the flag of Komagata Maru.

Ikk vaari modh ditta hun modh ke vikhaun

If you dared to turn us away, let’s see you try to reverse that now.

Paili goreya ko laike ditti goreya nu theke

I snatched the land from the colonizers and leased it right back to them.

Yuba City to Mantece yaari mitra di vekhe

From Yuba City to Manteca, look at the brotherhood we’ve built.

Ni tu chitta suit payi jado ayegi ni aithe

When you show up here in that crisp white suit,

Ni tu daag chad main ta pehn dava vi na chitte

Don’t you dare stain it; I won't even let you touch white fabric.

Vadh dealer'aa to teriya druggy akhiya

Your gaze is more intoxicating than what the dealers are selling.

Rehnde tu mere utte kyu rakhiya

Knock it off, why are you staring at me like that?

Ni tu bholi aa rakaan te main sofi vi ni maan

You’re innocent, but trust me, I’m far from a saint.

Fer kavengi tu meriya rovaiya akhiya

Don't come crying to me later saying my eyes made you fall for me.

Gall'an kari jana aa main phone laya rabb nu

I’m talking big because I’ve got a direct line to the Divine.

Aivei ta ni chakra 'ch paya jagg nu

It's no accident that the world is spinning in my palm.

The days of those 6-shooter antiques are dead and buried, bro.

Instead, sweetheart, I’ve got the Glock 27 strapped to my side.

Bande hor jedhe luck te depend honge

Others might leave their fate up to luck,

Chukke risky step big end honge

But I take the risks that lead to massive empires.

Bhed deyi na kisse nu kujj kahi na kisse nu

Keep your mouth shut, don't spill our secrets to a soul.

Aggo teriya friend'aa de friend honge

You don't know whose ears are listening through your circle.

Chugli de jinna 'ch trend honge

The scene is full of backstabbing posers these days.

Hellcat aa Challenger jo phadhi ni gayi

It’s a Hellcat, a Challenger that’s never been caught.

Je main Lambo vich beh gaya ta ki hoyuga

What’s going to happen if I upgrade to the Lambo?

Gutt ghadhiya nu vekh ke hi darr gaye ne oh

They’re already shaking just seeing the timepieces on my wrist.

Chatthe banggle vikha ditte ki hoyuga

What’ll happen when I show off the mansions?

Das tere leyi main mull kinne taare le lava

Tell me, how many stars in the sky should I buy just for you?

Mera vass challe ni main saare le lava

If the whole galaxy were for sale, I’d take it all.

Raati ho ke drunk tainu call launga

I’ll be calling you in the dead of the night, feeling some kind of way.

Taapu de kande te laike naal jaunga

I’m whisking you away to a private island getaway.

Gore kaale'aa na lagi race apni

We aren’t racing against white or black; we’re in a league of our own.

Kehndi kedha America wala Cheema Y aa

She asks, which American Cheema Y are you?

Grammy de award'aa vich seat apni

Honey, we’ve already got our seat reserved at the Grammys.
