about

Taqat goes to the heart of Prabh’s upbringing in Tilak Nagar. Covering a phase of his life where violence, drugs and
corruption bring ultimate control and power to the individual that masters the art of disseminating all three verticals
efficiently, Taqat details Prabh’s efforts towards achieving his goal of gaining control over his streets. While initially
successful, the end sees Prabh get caught in the crosshairs of a local hardman who decides to teach him his place.

lyrics

Tere kuteya ne darna ve katno // Your dogs are going to be scared to bite
Bandok kyuki nikli hoyia dab cho. // Once the gun comes out of the vault
Driver mai bus da, ticket mildi ni saste ch. // I’m the driver of this bus, the tickets aren’t going for cheap
Jina nu samajh ni aya vikas, savari utari mai raste ch. // Those who didn’t understand my development, I dropped
them off on the way
Jinha de vas da, meri te ohna di manzil ve ik. // Those who are capable, our destination is the same
Kradange bas/bus. // We’ll shut this shit down
Jitho di mangde oh hafta, otho vasuli ho chuki aa.(kado di) // The place you extort, we’ve already settled with them
Naal de karde ne ball pass // Now they pass me the ball
kende 'goal maar' // say go score a goal
Mai keha thoda ja kar sabar. // I ask them to be patient
Ghadi te hoega jad aakhri minute, // When it's the last minute on the clock
taio mai kra finnese. // I’ll show them my skills
Khedeya gully criket // I used to play gully cricket
Hun ehna virat, follow ve krda captain. // Now I wear the crown, even the captain follows me
Kol-hi oh rehnda c. // He used to live right next door
1 8 di gali toh pehla c oh, duja va mai. // He was the first to emerge from our streets, the next one is me
Piche ve fauj! // Behind us our army
Dasso mai aggey aa kyo? // Tell me why I’m ahead
Kyu eh piche bs krde ne gallan. // Because all they do is talk behind my back
Banaunde eh gaane: // They make songs
Roti khaan layi, udhaar chukaun layi. // To earn a living, to pay off their loans
Banaunda mai gaane, jivan sudhaar layi. // I make songs to improve lives
20 patte tode, // Amongst many
19 patte kache. // Plenty are ignorant / misguided / led astray
Mai kalla bacheya va, // I’m the only one left
baaki bhediye de bache. // The rest are sheeps who believe whatever they’re told
20 patte tode, // Amongst many

19 patte kache. // Plenty are ignorant / misguided / led astray
Mai kalla bacheya va, // I’m the only one left
baaki bhediye de bache. // The rest are sheeps who believe whatever they’re told
(Yah)
Krle tu // You can try
Krle tu(koshish) // You can keep trying
Apni mai takat, // My energy
apne ch paani aa tuhade ch ni // is only for my use and not for anybody else
Krle tu // You can try
Krle tu(koshish) // You can keep trying
Apni mai takat, // My energy
apne ch paani aa tuhade ch ni // is only for my use and not for anybody else

Tuhade ch ni oh gal. // You don’t have what it takes
Tuhade kol hega ni jigra, // You don’t have the capacity
mere vangu tussi le sako jhokham. // like me to bear the losses

Tuhade ch ni oh gal. // You don’t have what it takes
Tuhade kol hega ni jigra, // You don’t have the capacity
mere vangu tussi le sako jhokham. // like me to bear the losses
Laad dikhaya c. // I showed you love
Sir te chadhaya c // Built you up
Vigadna aape c. // You spoil yourself
Hove puchtava v. // Now you’re suffering
Kinnu sunawa mai? // Who do I tell?
Kinnu sunawa mai? // Who do I tell?
Kinnu sunawa mai? // Who do I tell?
Kinnu sunawa mai? // Who do I tell?
(Kinnu!!!)
Dukhde sunava hun kinnu(Kinnu) // Who do I share my pain with?
Apna bulawa hun kinnu(Kinnu) // Who do I call my own?
Note mai ginawa hun kinnu(Kinnu) // Who do I share my success with?
Ardaas ve bulawa aaje mainu// I’m praying for god to take me
(Uh uh)
kra kra mai mazak(sahi gall) // I’m just playing around
Krda ni mood mai kharab(sahi gall) // I don’t spoil my mood
Krda mai mauj humesha(sahi gall) // I’m always enjoying life,
Muh te mai laake nakaab(jhuth) // with a mask on.
Galey ch paiya mai chain(ice) // and a chain around my neck
Jeb ch mai rakheya ve nila(chitta) // I’ve kept pills in my pocket

Ungal ch payi aa mundri(ice) // There’s a victory ring on my finger
Mundri ch payi cocaine(coco) // i’ve kept cocaine in my victory ring
Bacheya kol ponch gi khabar(Ki?) // The kids know now
Kaun chala reha game(Mai) // Who runs these streets
Bua khadkaunda ni mai(tu) // If I knock on your door
Dekhenga tu ni swer. // You’ll never see the light of day
Tere kuteya ne darna ve katno // Your dogs are going to be scared to bite
Bandok kyuki nikli hoyia dab cho. // Once the gun comes out of the vault
Tere kuteya ne darna ve katno // Your dogs are going to be scared to bite
Bandok kyuki nikli hoyia dab cho. // Once the gun comes out of the vault

Gyaani tu urey aa jara // Son, come here now
Tu hi a na jo gaane gaaney? Hai? // You’re the one who sings those songs
Mai suneya boht boldae tu ganeya ch, badmaash banndae. // I hear you talk a lot of shit in your songs about running
these streets
Cocaine rakhi hoyae mundari ch tu? Mm? // You’ve kept cocaine in your victory ring?
Maayi! // Motherfucker
Mundri kdo edi // Take out his victory ring
Fer edi kundli kadangae // Then we’ll decide his fate
Fer appa ehda lavangae taj. // Then we’ll take his crown
Te hun tu lalae hisaab // Now you take stock
ki bacheya tere kol gyani? // What will you have left?
Zindagi! // Life!
