Mic check Mic check Am i al'right? Thanks a lot Unh Yo! It's Brodha V, some of you might have heard of me, I talk about money I talk about rap music I talk about gettin' high But now, I'ma talk about God Back in the time, When I was lacking a dime My hopeless youth had me slowly get attracted to crime Then sat an alliance, To talk it out with practical minds Felt a force within me, Get all my talents combined, Enacted a mime, Enlightened I decided to rhyme, Delighted and excited. I'm planning to rap till I'm prime. Started spilling ink on the paper And planned to get signed. But the world is biased, So wild, they got me slapped with a fine I never got a chance, Never let me spit on the mic, Only cuz I come from a land Where people ain't white Day and night I keep flowing, completing all my demo tracks, Inspite being denied the right by Anti-democrats Unleash my rage through music intense The cultural shock that got my whole community tensed That's when I, close my eyes and talk to God Peace in my head, I'm singing this song and it goes Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana Life is an octopus tryna choke you with tentacles Survived by only those who prove to be sensible With only two choices, good and the bad The hardest part is to be choosing a path, check this I could've got myself in dealing with drugs Or maybe pop a weaker person dead While chilling with thugs Maybe, blow up my father's money spending on clothes Fake an attitude for winning all em feminine votes One point of time, I got absorbed in foolish lies Was juvenile, thought it was cool to get into brutal fights I even had the thrilling urge to kill The next second, the whole feeling reversed to guilt I was offered a gun, that's when I dropped it for a mic Took rap as a career and I thought that this was right I close my eyes and give my thanks to God Peace in my head, I'm singing this song and it goes Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana I'm being frank and I'm speaking my mind naked Everyday on my knees, praying to God that I make it The only hope that keep me going is I know I'm artistic To levels extreme, my haters agree I'm God-gifted But that don't mean I lay around like clinical bait When its mayhem in my head at such subliminal rate Cyclic monotony for me is cursed as debt I'm only halfway through the phase between Birth and Death One day, I wish to be like Eminem 2Pac And have a million people chanting, Brodha V you rock And maybe, wish to have a girl like Emma Watson Or even accept a Grammy on stage while Mama's watching But till then, I'mma see days when the weather be rough I better be tough, Brodha V gon' never give up Now imma, Close my eyes and talk to God Peace in my head, I'm singing this song and it goes Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana Aathma Raama Aananda Ramana Achyutha Keshava Hari Narayana
