[English]

The people of your city chant, girl

My name, my name

They keep a flame that calms the storm

My name, my name

The people of your city chant, girl

My name, my name

They keep a flame that spreads everywhere

My name, my name

I knock down birds that fly too high in the sky

I make the toughest of men feel insignificant

I empty out the overflowing sky

My name, my name

The people of your city chant, girl

My name, my name

They keep a flame that calms the storm

My name, my name

The people of your city chant, girl

My name, my name

They keep a flame that spreads everywhere

My name, my name

It’s not like my enemies' houses are easily climbed

I’d sacrifice my life for those who stand by me

I don’t greet just any random person

I rest with my weapon by my side

My name, my name

The people of your city chant, girl

My name, my name

They keep a flame that calms the storm

My name, my name

Bitch I'm a star

Bitch I'm a star

Bitch I'm a star

Bitch I'm a star

Shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy ye, shimmy wo

Those who stand in my way will regret it

Shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy ye, shimmy wo

My friends keep two (guns) in their waistbands

My level is elite, untouchable

I am outside the reach of my rivals

These guys talk big, copying my style

When the time comes to leave this world

You should check out my dear friends today

Don't ask about my past

Don't delve too deeply into my life

You'll only find ups and downs inside

We are out of our senses at night

And by day, love makes no sense at all

If the light bothers the lord of the house

Then our mood isn't intense without a light

I need some peace for my mind, girl

I've already made more than enough money

Just need to set up my cousins and friends

Whatever excess I had, I've already spent it

Don't think my thoughts are devilish

I’m not bookish, nor do I spread empty knowledge

I am youthful with the aura of beauty

My name, my name

The people of your city chant, girl

My name, my name

They keep a flame that calms the storm

My name, my name

The people of your city chant, girl

My name, my name

They keep a flame that spreads everywhere

My name, my name

If a girl tries to act up for no reason

I send her home via Uber

There is so much left to achieve

That’s why I don’t focus on temporary things

Don't ask how far the king will go

Hollywood stars are yet to come to my tracks

The entire burden of the industry is on my shoulders

I have to prove my worth as long as I live

I'm buying 50 acres in the village this year

And to tie up 4-5 of my rivals

Your friend has set such a good vibe

Many are taking hits just to stop me

A friend of mine has an SSP (high-ranking official)

Whoever he tells, he makes them kneel down

When the need arises, we will surely show our strength

He even makes the mute sing songs

We establish a protocol with just a glance

It’s not like I rely on some local leader's support

I’ve stood my ground many times for being a rebel

I’ve never fought for fame or glory

That’s why my name is always on people’s lips

It stays in the minds of my rivals

He tells me, "Watch the spectacle, friend"

While he himself gets surrounded by questions daily

So many pure-hearted people want me to win

So many with evil intentions want me to lose

So many clever ones have built their houses off my success

My name, my name

The people of your city chant, girl

My name, my name

They keep a flame that calms the storm

My name, my name

The people of your city chant, girl

My name, my name

They keep a flame that spreads everywhere

My name, my name

Bitch I'm a star

Bitch I'm a star

Bitch I'm a star

Bitch I'm a star

Fuck that shit

Ik mitr dehaati da ae SSP

Jinnu kaaha ohnu latta ch bitha lainda aa

Jado'n lorr payi jor vi dikhavange jaroor

Oh gungiyan ton gajjla'n gawa lainda aa

Protocol banni da ae akh naal ni

Ni unjh kise chaudhary di chaunqi ni oh chade

Vaili banne picche ta batheri vaar adde

Oh ki balle-balle vaaste ta bhul ke ni lade

Tahiyon charhda ae maaliya'n de bulla'n de utte

Vairiyan de rehnda ae khyaalan vich ni

Mainu kehnda vekh tu tamaasha mittra

Khud aaye din ghirda swaala'n vich ni
