“Asal gaane spit karke laya underground mein paisa
Paisa sabko mil raha hai bataya maine kaisa
Industry ko laya maine underground mein
Industry bana ab yeh underground hai
Ab bohot zyada farak tere mere sound mein
Tu hai sound chor mera apna khud ka sound hai

3 – DIVINE: Teesri Manzil
“Gir bhi gaya tera bhai uthkar phir machayega
Ek hi to insaan hai akela kitna khayega
Jinke sapne tune tode, Sapno me satayega
Jayega, jaana hai to sabko darta sirf wo usse
Ummeed hai sabko mujhse
Latkaya acha upar
Jab pair zameen pe niche
Par paise ki lalach tujhko khinche
Ae Kisko pasand nahi note hai
Par note-se nahi tolte langot hai
Jab Pariksha tab tere piche koi nahi tikta
Main tujhe jaanta hoon
Tu mera dost nahi dikhta hai
Mushkil aur mera koi rishta hai
Jo Saanp bankar lipta hai.”

4 – DIVINE: One Side
“Kya layak ka vo jeev jabh darta hai vo jeene se
Sabko hai marna varna ek doosro ko hi cheer dete
Insaniyat ke shabd nahi hai teri ginti mein
Upar wala bhool gaya bas bhool gaya tu chindi hai
Bhool gaya tu dhool yaha jo mit jayega jaldi se
Khade jaha tu kalti le palle jaha tu palti le
Kya hoga teri marzi se shaitan yaha hai vardi mein
Chalaange beta maarenge jabh rail hai teri chalti mein
Flow mein mere sardi hai isliye show pe mere gardi hai
Chal jo paise aajaye tou slow se sarr pe chadti hai”

Here, DIVINE is asking a rhetorical question: What is the use of that living being who is afraid of living?He believes in living life and taking risks or this life is worthless. Coming from a not-so-rich family, Divine believes that one should work hard towards a good life. DIVINE calls out online trolls and haters targeting successful people and talks about the differences in their behavior on the internet and in real life.
DIVINE compares these haters to Barfi, an Indian dessert made from condensed milk, labeling them as soft and sweet when in public. As a double entendre, “Barfi” here likely also refers to the protagonist in Anurag Basu’s Barfi!. The protagonist was deaf and dumb, and so are the trolls when they confront Divine.
5 – City Slums: Raja Kumari ft. DIVINE
“Yeh rapper famous huye deke gaali, lambi gaadi
Asliyat mein inki jebein khaali, kalakaari
Haan maas lega humse brahmachari, kar sawari
Apni wahi gully, wahi chali
Kitni naari, kitni chaabi
Note tere kitni saari
Nahi aane wale kaam tere maiyyat pe, swayam se
Jhooth na tu bol paayega
Apne aad fassa kharcha fokat mein tu khayega”

6 – DIVINE: Azadi
“Achhi vidya chahiye aacha khasa maal dena
Nall mein paani chahiye khade rehle line mein na
Zameen apni par note dikha kar sign lena
Drugs laaye ye phir dhakel denge crime mein na
Akela insaan phir gaadi teri chaar kyun?
Ghar mein hai chaar phir rooms tere 8 kyun?
Paison se nahin bante kudrat se hum khaas kyun?
Teri pidhi ka soch wo kaise lenge saans kyun?
(Kya Shoo) Ek tarfa tarazu.”

7 – DIVINE: Sher Aaya Sher
“Asal rap ka yeh jwala tere aathma mein jagadi
Kyun ki farak hai, tujhe chedney ki talab hai
Tu nakli wala marad
Mardaangi pe kalank
Hawainiyat ki shakal
Jitni tujh mein garmi usse zyada garam mera kalam
Kyu itna besharam?
Kya kaam ka wo aaj jis mein tera kal nahi
Kya kaam ka wo kaam jisme tu safal nahi bal nahi
Dimaag ki zaroorat, Tere bhai ki hukumath
Sachai ki yeh surat”

“Atmavishwash kisike pairoko chuma nahi
Jo raste pe wo raste se koi guzra nahi
Dekh bete, bas dekh bete, humko chhuna nahi…
Supari lenge chuna nahi
Gali ko kabhi bhula nahi

Phir bhi diye gaane tujhko dilse
Ab bhi pura gang khana khata mere Bill pe”

“Desh kaise hoga saaf
Inki neeyat main hai daag
Sirf karte rahenge baat
Alag shakal wahi jaat
Vote milne par ye khaas
Phir gayab pure saal
Haan mera bhai hai toh noto ki sarkar hai na
Note se banate aapne beto ko ye star hai na
Kitne bekaar kyun yeh aapas mein jhankaar hai na
Baaki pura desh dube inki naiya paar hai na”

10 – Divine: Jungli Sher
“Chhota sa main ladka
Chhoti cheezon pe main bhadka
Mere daal mein nahi tha tadka
Ghar mein baap ke roz ka lafda
Dafna mushkilon ko
Meri maa ki kamai ne
Baap wala role nibhaya mere bhai ne
Tairna sikha khaai mein
Isiliye shabdon mein gehraai hai
Zindagi toh ek ladaai hai
Jo paiso mein samayi hai
Khoti Pateli tumhari
Peeke liquor wali die hai
Idhar jigar wali die hai
Teri tipper wali die hai.”
