Who They?
Karan Aujla
[Intro: Karan Aujla]
Yeah, Aujla, Proof
Yeah, Aujla, it’s Proof
Yeah! Proof
Yeah! Proof
[Verse 1]
Oh puchi jaave baar-baar mainu
She’s constantly badgering me
Das kehde zileh jana kehndi phone hune la deyan
Asking which city we’re headed to, insisting I book the ride right this second
Kadi kehndi buddy mere bade
Sometimes she claims she’s got a massive inner circle
Dasi kise ton kadhauna hune kamm main khada deyan
Telling me to reach out if I need any strings pulled and she’ll handle it
Ni mere kamm fase rehnde ni
My life is always tied up in chaos
Tu kude shera de shikar kade tittar ni jande
Listen girl, those who hunt lions don’t waste their time chasing quails
[Chorus]
Jinna de tu nau layi jani ae
These big names you keep name-dropping
Mittran nu jaande aa, mittar ni jaande
They might know who I am, but I definitely don’t know those people
Ni jinna de tu nau layi jani ae
All those people you keep bragging about knowing
Mittran nu jaande aa, mittar ni jaande
They’re aware of my reputation, but I’ve never met them in my life
Ni jinna de tu nau layi jani ae
Every name you keep throwing around
Mittran nu jaande aa, mittar ni jaande
They know my status, but I have no clue who they are
[Verse 2]
Ni oh mainu ki kehke sadd de aa
Do you even know how they address me?
Ji kehke sadd de aa dassi jana chaud ni
They call me with the utmost respect—I’m just showing you my real influence
Ni outro taan rabb dekhuga
God will handle how the final chapter plays out
Halle enni k kamayi aa kade intro di load ni
I’ve made enough that I don't need to stress over making an entrance
Haye hath thode maile ne yaaran de
My crew has seen some rough times
Sade kinne-kinne saaf ni charittar ni jande
Our reputation isn't exactly pristine, but you wouldn’t get it
[Chorus]
Jinna de tu nau layi jani ae
Those individuals you keep referencing
Mittran nu jaande aa, mittar ni jaande
They know my name, but I’m a stranger to them
Ni jinna de tu nau layi jani ae
The people you keep trying to link me with
Mittran nu jaande aa, mittar ni jaande
They recognize me, but they aren’t my circle
Ni jinna de tu nau layi jani ae
Those guys you keep talking about
Mittran nu jaande aa, mittar ni jaande
They know me well, but I don't know who they are
(Ni jinna de tu nau layi jani ae)
(The ones whose names you keep taking)
[Verse 3]
Rakhan daang utte dera sada kille jidda vehda (Ahan!)
I hold my ground firmly, with a vast empire to back me up
Mainu finaly mili aa chauhnda tainu vi bathera (Yeah)
I’ve finally found my match, and I’m pretty into you too
Pith piche bole jehda (Anh!) Main ni janda ni kehda
Whoever talks trash behind my back, I don’t even care to know their name
Dekhi bhajjeya firuga, kera naa laidi mera?
Just try saying my name and watch them scramble in fear
Dilan de jehde bhaar goriye ni
The weight of all this emotional baggage, darling
Gode chhad modde chhad addi vi nai jhalldi
It’s too heavy for my knees, shoulders, or even my heels to carry
Ni jehdi aa kosi-kosi chaldi aa
Things have been moving along nicely
Hawa sade vall di hawa aali gal ni
The tide is turning in my favor, and I’m not just blowing hot air
Oh painda mere mudke da mull biba
My hard-earned sweat is finally paying off, sweetie
Hunda ki paseena sale ittar ni jande
Those guys wouldn’t know the scent of hard work even if it hit them
[Chorus]
Jinna de tu naa layi jani ae
The names you keep bringing up
Mittran nu jande aa mittar ni jaande
They know who I am, but they aren’t my associates
Ni jinna de tu naa layi jani ae
The people you keep name-dropping
Mittran nu jande aa, mittar ni jaande
They recognize my presence, but we aren't friends
Ni jinna de tu naa layi jani ae
All these connections you keep bragging about
Mittran nu jande aa, mittar ni jaande
They know me, but I have no connection to them
[Bridge]
Ni jinna de tu naa layi—
The people you keep name-dropping—
Mittran nu jande aa, mittar ni jaande
They know who I am, but I don't know them
Ni jinna de tu naa layi—
The ones you keep talking about—
[Verse 4]
Poora mudhon jatt lehri, AP gutt te sunehri
I’ve been a wild, independent Jatt from day one, sporting a gold AP on my wrist
Akh laal jivein cherry, lakk kare thirty carry
My eyes are burning red, and I’m keeping a .30 strapped at my waist
Faide asi ni karune sade kamm nai aune
I don't play the favor game, it's useless for me
Asi yaar nai banaune biba kamm nai kadhaune
I’m not looking for new friends or relying on anyone to finish my business, sweetheart
Ni Aujla, haye, kivein samjhayi jave
Aujla, how do I even break this down?
Pipplan di chhaan nu biba kikkar ni jande
Some people can't tell the difference between a holy Peepal tree's shade and a thorny Kikar
[Chorus]
Jinna de tu naa layi jani ae
Those names you keep calling out
Oh, mittran nu jande aa, mittar ni jaande
They know who I am, but we aren't part of the same circle
Ni jjinna de tu naa layi jani ae
All those people you keep mentioning
Oh, Mittran nu jande aa, mittar ni jaande
They recognize my status, but I don't know them
[Outro]
(Ni jinna de tu naa layi jani ae)
(Those people you keep mentioning)
Yeah Proof
Yeah, Proof
[Instrumental-Break]
