Tod Ke Kadam

{low-pass filter sweep opening} Suno prashasan,

ab yuva bolega

Har ek dhokhe ka

panna kholega {hard-hitting kick drum entry} (oye,

sun!)

Padhan saab baithe AC kamre mein chup

Paper leak pe leak,

phir bhi sab hume kahein chup Kharach hua jo paisa,

jo maata-pita ne joda Tumhari laparwahi ne har ek sapna toda

NEET se lekar NET tak ghotalon ki hai dukan Zindagi barbad par

gaddi pe baithe meharban {double-time hi-hats} Modi ji suno,

ye yuva ki pukaar hai

Ab chup nahi rahenge,

ye naya sansaar hai Har ek lathi ka jawab hum hisab se

denge (hisab se!) Hum apna bhavishya wapas chheen lenge

{dramatic brass swell}

Inquilab hamari saans, kranti hamara geet hai Tumhare zulm ke samne ab

yuva ki hi jeet hai (azaadi!) Chhoro ye jhoothe vaade,

chhoro ye bhrashtachar Ab badlega itihaas,

jag utha desh ka yaar {explosive bass drop,

massive

brass hits}

Kalam uthane wale ko jail bhejte ho tum Sach bolne pe dharasayi

karte ho tum

Tax payer ka paisa,

par hamara dukh sasta?

Ab rasta badlega, ab badlega dasta Gen Z hai khadi,

ab piche nahi hatna Insaaf chahiye,

nahi sahenge koi ghatna

{snare rolls and vinyl scratches}

Kitne sapne beche tumne?

(kitne?) Kitne ghar ujade tumne?

(bolo!) Ab thak chuki hai janta,

ab bolenge hum Har ek julm ka ab todenge hum {halftime beat,

solemn shehnai

sample}

Inquilab hamari saans, kranti hamara geet hai Tumhare zulm ke samne ab

yuva ki hi jeet hai (azaadi!) Chhoro ye jhoothe vaade,

chhoro ye bhrashtachar Ab badlega itihaas,

jag utha desh ka yaar

{maximum

energy, full beat return}

Suno prashasan, ye ant nahi,

shuruaat hai (yaad rakhna!) Inquilab zindabad

{music gradually fades to single heartbeat kick}

{kick fades out}
