[Intro]
Sadde rastay, sade yaar — ek kahani
Aankhan ch noor, dil ch nasha — suno zara
(Ad-lib: Ha! Aye!)
[Verse 1 — Origins & Loyalty]
School gate toh chun leya, chai di dukaan de kol
GT Road di thand, bullet di awaaz, sapne bold
Pehli job di khushi, pehli haar de dard naal jooli
Raatan vich gaddi Fortuner, headlights vich sadi soul-ii
Chaupal te hasi, purani kismat di kadi chabi
Naam likheya pehli diwar te — yaaran da vada, yeh baby
Sadda rishta likha mitti te, par rocket varga udaan
Jithe vi jaayiye, pehchaan oh yaaran di shaan
[Pre-Chorus]
Kade na tutan, kade na jhukan — promise likheya haath te
Saddi yaari asli, time de waleyan vich vi saath te
(Ad-lib: Let's go!)
[Chorus — Hook]
Yaaran di shaan, saddi pehchaan
Raatan jagde, gaddi ch rakhe armaan
Tagline: GT Road to Sector 17 — streets di humsafar, yaaran da raaj
(Ad-lib: Aye! Yaaran da raaj)
[Verse 2 — Conflict, Stakes & Triumph]
Kise ne keh ditta sannu kamzor, par asi baney steel
Clinic di light to jail di light, sab kuch vekhe real
Rivals ne khed rakhe, par sach sadda armour ban gaya
Launda si gali da, hun stage te poster hamara
Maa di dua, dada de sapne, wallet ch thodi notes
Par dimaag vich sochan, jithe vi jaavey — karan quotes
Jang nahi chahide, par khade hoke rakhe apni izzat
Shor vadd gya, par yaaran di awaaz hi asli hit
(Ad-lib: No cap!)
[Chorus — Hook Variation]
Yaaran di shaan, sada nishaan
Din badal de, par yaaran naal sada pehchaan
Tagline: From village chowk to neon lights — yaaran da raaj
(Ad-lib: Ha! Forever)
[Bridge — Promise & Legacy]
Ek din naam wallan te, gaane speakers ch gungunayein
Bachiyan di khed ban jaave, schoolan ch kahaniyan sunayein
Chhadange ek chithhi duniya nu: saadi yaariyaan, saadi law
Har generation vich phir phir chalugi sadi awaaz
Promise — put the torch in your palm, keep the light
Saddi yaad na jaave, likh le duniya te right
(Ad-lib: Pass it on)
[Chorus — Final with Momentum]
Yaaran di shaan, saddi pehchaan
Raatan jagde, gaddi ch rakhe armaan
Tagline: Streets to stadiums — yaaran da raaj (now louder)
(Ad-lib: Come on! Yaaran!)
[Outro]
Gaddi slow karda, par heartbeat fast — yaariyaan zinda
Clock Tower de neechay, promise kiya — rab vi witness
Yaaran di shaan, yaaran da raaj — legacy rakho close
Saddi kahani, saddi zubaan — forever in your throat
(Ad-lib: Ha! One love)
[Production Notes — for producer]
- Tempo: 95 BPM (90–105 recommended); pocket for rap cadence
- Drums: heavy 808 low end, punchy/crisp snares, syncopated hi-hats
- Hook: cinematic strings pad + choir ooohs under the two-line chant
- Bass: sub by octave glide under verses, sustain in chorus
- Space: leave gaps for ad-libs ("Aye!", "Ha!", "No cap!"), call-and-response
- Instruments: mournful violin motif during bridge; bright brass hits on taglines
- Dynamics: chorus should explode with layered vocals and doubled lead; verses tighter and percussive
- Arrangement: intro (8 bars) → V1 (16) → Pre (4) → Chorus (8) → V2 (16) → Chorus Var (8) → Bridge (8) → Final Chorus (12) → Outro (8)
