Vaishnav Jan To, Tene Kahiye Je Peed Paraaye Jaane Re Vaishnav Jan To, Tene Kahiye Je Peed Paraaye Jaane Re Par Dukkhe Upkaar Kare Toye Par Dukkhe Upkaar Kare Toye Man Abhiman Na Anne Re Man Abhiman Na Anne Re
[VERSE 1: PAHLAJOHNNY]
Dear God, Please tell me what to pray for, Can I be a better man, be a better son? Can I quit my day job and get a better one? Am I living life wrong? Are we getting more than one?
Is it almost done, or has it only just begun? Am I flawed if I wanna be rich and known? Or because I'm attached at the hip to my phone? still feeling all alone, am I overthinking it?
[SONIA]
Vaishnav Jan To, Tene Kahiye Je Peed Paraaye Jaane Re
[PAHLAJOHNNY]
DEAR GOD, HAS ANYONE BEFORE EVER ASKED YOU FOR A QUICK LESSON IN WHAT WE'RE DESTINED FOR? NOT TO BE POSSESSED BY POSSESSIONS OR USE YOUR NAME IN WARS THEY NEED WEAPONS FOR?
Should we be the guys who defy Gravity laws - be Equal Opposite Positive forces? We all have similar questions, funny thats the one thing that we ever knew for sure.
[CHORUS 2: SONIA]
Vaishnav Jan To, Tene Kahiye Je Peed Paraaye Jaane Re Vaishnav Jan To, Tene Kahiye Je Peed Paraaye Jaane Re Par Dukkhe Upkaar Kare Toye Par Dukkhe Upkaar Kare Toye Man Abhiman Na Anne Re Man Abhiman Na Anne Re
[VERSE 2: PAHLAJOHNNY]
We're frozen in time with an infinite mind, we eat, sleep, see the weeks passing us by, but the test is knowing what rest is, how to make sense of our senses - meditate, elevate
Until prayers are the form of payment, Levitation is our entertainment, so when they kneel and kiss the pavement may they say we gave them Peace, Patience and Inspirations - and then we left with what we came with.
In the moment to be present is our very essence, we can trade our flesh or never take another breath, and still have a presence. The body is a vessel in the city of nine gates,
and the journey that it's meant for is prone to attacks if we ever get attached, Bemoan what we don't own - Overreact, Or see our leaders being led by materials, Or they separate Science from the Spiritual.
Our inner visuals make us individuals, a miracle's pinnacle is metaphysical. If reality is relative, let us unite, and if it fades to black, Let there be Light, Dear God
[CHORUS 3: SONIA]
Vaishnav Jan To, Tene Kahiye Je Peed Paraaye Jaane Re Vaishnav Jan To, Tene Kahiye Je Peed Paraaye Jaane Re
[VERSE 3: PAHLAJOHNNY]
This is for the poets who know it, and told it ages ago Sages who wrote it on pages, not knowing where it would go, The mystics, martyrs, crusaders and pagans bartering faith, Evading invaders, Vedas pervaded the day.
Trading stories orally, the currency to the saints, stored it up in the clouds, it was a memory bank, If bread didn't break, a painter would paint, a dance had a chance, or a chant could make them relate.
Healers traveling acres, they were mistaken for traitors, stealing their horses, of course, the origin of their hate. Staying awake through the night, hoping for sun in the day to be Enlighted - the one thing that no one could take.
Humming hymns in Brooklyn, they channel the Vatican they made it to Mumbai - no shipping and handling, a passage to purpose putting verses in books, words told with rhythms,
maybe all ever it ever took was singing songs,
we all Pray Along with the hooks, singing songs, we all Pray Along with the hooks Let's sing a song, we can sing along, and Pray Along with the hooks that's all it ever took
singing songs, we all Pray Along with the hooks singing songs, we all Pray Along with the hooks Let's sing a song, we can sing along, and Pray Along with the hooks that's all it ever took

I'm streaming, fuck it i'm streaming scenes from my dreams show up in my second screens picture me scrollin, on the road, downlink and encode, point, click and drag, and now i'm on the attack So act quick bitch - you know who my band width You know in this network, we’ll fuck up your net worth Thats what the plan is, the satellite beamed it up
tell me have you seen it, you havent seen it
Creative media ops, i'm casting broads and broadcasting color bars in and out of the of box Your websites' aight, I see the Styles is Sheik Lou but dude, show me where are the Lox? (they with Puff?) Brownskinz @ your ears dot com I'm live from the wifi desserts in Rajasthan I guess I’m a www dot head wrapped in a cockpit, with some Indian pot heads
POSSESSED DIGITALLY CONNECTED TO THE WEB'S MOST INFECTIOUS TEXT MESSAGES YOU TRACE IT TO EDGES, QUESTION EVERY PREMISE, MENTION AND IMPRESSION SEARCHING EVERY ENGINE ENDS IN THESE RESULTS THAT ARE somewhat synonymous to anonymous too overexposed is what the problem is, screens black, guess the session is down now watch this virus injection go and fix an election
Dear God, if I pray hard, can I quit my day job? get a better one with a raise, get paid get a lady who could make it feel like a sunny Sunday on a mundane Monday
Dear God, if I pray hard, can I stay long enough on this earth to know the purpose of my birth and what it's worth, whether it's a blessing or a curse that I even know the words to this verse
Dear God, if I jump into this pond, can i swim? how long can I hold my breath for? And if I sink, land, walking on the ocean floor, will I realize then this is what you made me for?
To be the man who disregards all these oxygen laws, its down bottom where the tops will come off We'll stay rockin till the socks and the stockings come off, It's time to let the world in, so I wont need no locks on my doors
It's like crime is at an all time high, but not statistically, Realistically I’d rather be broke than live meticulously Possessed by possessions, I’m guessing that I’m just stressing, And restless it’s too much tension, dispensing in my direction,
No focus, it’s bogus, hocus pocus magic and tragic but magic like Magic with Aids but his baby and wifey didn’t have it, No negatives, Damn it, these pictures are PANORAMICALLY positive Take a shot of it, Take it up to the colleges
Cutting class and acknowledging knowledge needs no apologies Wallets are getting thicker but what about ideologies? What could possibly be the outcome of chasing this income? We living, breathing, but leaving the thinking to politicians?
Educated then immigrated, waited for invitations, landed in JFK after he was assassinated
Thinking with visions of Lincoln, but I’m John Wilkes in the Booth, a sharp tongue with a loose tooth I’m back, hit me it’s black jack, flyin off the meat rack...
