“Khud Se” is a motivational anthem for millennials. “Khud se tu ladhna seekh, ... andar ke jigar se tu kaamyaabi laa nazdeek” translates in meaning to “learn to challenge yourself... use the strength inside you to get closer to success”. “Khud Se” is definitely the tune to pump yourself up before any important competition in life.
The song features some of the finest lyrical efforts by both vocalists. Maharya, a member of the 4Z4DI (Azadi and 4/4 Experiences) entourage, is a Bengali-origin rapper based in Mumbai known for his fast-paced delivery and intense lyricism about real and gritty social and political issues. Meanwhile, Sid J, one of the founding members of Dharavi-based hip hop collective 7Bantai’Z, is also known for his rapid-fire delivery and often poetic, insightful lyricism.
Underneath and all around, the instrumental by Su Real and Dutty Deedz rages like a forest fire with explosive percussion and drums culled from Middle Eastern and Brazilian sources. Finally, the song is brought to a fiery conclusion with a furious scratch turntablism routine provided by DJ Skip. Another Real Dutty Beats release that forges a new path on the expanding landscape of Desi Hip Hop.
lyrics
[Maharya]
Hindustan me Hip Hop ka zamaana aaya
Pehle tha sadak pe, par ab bade parde pe yeh chaaya
Mehnat karne waale aage badhte
Kyuki hum toh roz, Apne aap se ladhte
Haan, Seekhte hi rehna hai, Ateet me na rehna hai
Kalaa bole aasuon ko, “Dard hi toh sehna hai”
Vaastavik jeevan me laut aa, Milta ek hi toh mauka
Kyuki yeh zindagi lage maut haan!
Khulle rakh apne kaan
Kabhi na khona tu apna hosh
Bhavishya ka soch
Mushkilon ke saamne seena taan
Manzil ko karna haasil toh khushi ko khona
Waqt ko nichodna, Har ek baadha ko todna
Na ban tu kisika naukar, Khud hi ke dum pe kar tu sab
Tabhi toh teri zindagi hogi sukhad
Uparwaala bhi dega saath, Jab khudpe hoga vishwaas
Khudko talaash, Parivaar ko bhi hoga naaz
(Chorus) x2
Khud se tu ladhna seekh, Haan, Tu ladhna seekh
Khud se tu ladhna seekh, Haan, Tu ladhna seekh
Khud se tu ladhna seekh, Haan, Tu ladh!
Andar ke jigar se tu kaamyaabi laa nazdeek
[Sid J]
Char saal pehle me bhi tha sabhi ke jaise hi chup,
Dil ki baatein bolna shuru ki mithana bhuk,
Sabhi yaadein kabhi na kabhi ye de dete var,
Mann saaf toh fir kabhi na kabhi milega ye pyaar,
Irade tarike sikhete bana na kudh se, baaton ko raaton me saja te,
sunate kudh ko kudh hi se puchte jawab,
fir aata vo pal jab sunata sabhi ko tabhi toh pata chalta hai ki kya hu me,
Me sukha utna na jitna tu kudhse sikha na,
jitna tu kudhse se dikha na, jitna tu kudh se jeeta na,
Me bilkul shatir na, dimagi ghaayal kaatil na, baaton me meri weight me bantai jitna ki mere weight me na,
Na rukhunga kabhi me, likhai dil se likhe,
Na jukhunga kabhi me, dikhai de dal dal niche,
Koi na aise jiske jeevan me kami na ho,
Kudhse ladhke sikhle beta zindagi hai badi seekh!
(Chorus) x2
Khud se tu ladhna seekh, Haan, Tu ladhna seekh
Khud se tu ladhna seekh, Haan, Tu ladhna seekh
Khud se tu ladhna seekh, Haan, Tu ladh!
Andar ke jigar se tu kaamyaabi laa nazdeek
[Sid J]
Zindagi shuruvat hui hanth kab hai pata nhi
Vo jeena bhi kya jeena jise jeene me maza nahi
Barosa bari raha pe chal raha hu khuda ke naam se
hosla hai apne aap pe vishwas hai apne aap me
Sabhi ko milta mauka kabhi na jaane de tera ye mauka
Sabhi toh khate dhoka bhot kuch sikhata dhoka
Aaj ke ache pal kal ke bure vichar
Kudh se ladke sikhna hai kudhse ladke jeetna hai
[Maharya]
Haan, Aanewaala kal anjaan
Zindagi khel jisme armaan ke liye daao pe jaan
Kyuki yeh duniya toh khud hi ke neeyam par chale fir bhi
Haar na maan aur na soch koi bura anjaam
Khud se raho imaandaar
Kyuki teri harkat badalti teri kismat toh jaag aaj
Chod andhakaar, Jeevan me rang daal
Kuch bhi asambhav na hai yeh poore sansaar me!
(Chorus) x2
Khud se tu ladhna seekh, Haan, Tu ladhna seekh
Khud se tu ladhna seekh, Haan, Tu ladhna seekh
Khud se tu ladhna seekh, Haan, Tu ladh!
Andar ke jigar se tu kaamyaabi laa nazdeek
