Lyrics

I’m still the same dude that I was

Way back in 1921

Still putin 10 toes on ahimsa

Imma stand on it ‘til I’m dust

You heard about France and Russia

But take it from us, our struggle is the most just

Need you to push this resolution through

If I earned your trust, hold up

Good stuff

Another dub we done put up

Shout out the dissenting opinions

Who knew they weren’t winning

But gritted and stood tough

I been about unity from the jump

So let me lay one thing to rest

I saw no bargain in the Khilafat

Saw my neighbors in distress

Now gone are the days when lurking doubts

Hadn’t a trace in their chests

If Jinnah got beef

Could only be with the suspicion his heart let infest

And if you take me out Imma still remain

You can only kill what the ill disdain

‘Cause the real Gandhi can’t vacate

Since when does Islam say to hate?

Yet it's all I face from the League and them

All I ever tried to do was be a friend

Why be afraid when a million men,

Follow every single move of your pen?

So what you’re demanding is yours

Whatever equity and justice accord

Anything more will come by the sword

Over my body, dead on the floor

Fratricidal war is what we can’t afford

A gory story, blood pouring forth

But before that you could step forward

And work hand in hand to free forty crores

Congress is yours

Come in, take a seat

If India isn’t for Muslims…

Then what is? Beats me

The Empire don't wanna see defeat

They having attack dogs released

While treading the crooked path

But we proceed down a neat street

And it’s high time that we reached

So heed my words

Our independence starts now

The scheme is proceeding

It won't be a dream deferred

The Viceroy, he can say what he will

Our nation will be returned

You know that the slave ceases to be interned

The moment he feels his freedom’s earned

So let me confirm

It’s do or die

Until my asphyxiation, no cooperation with the British nation

We shall not live to see the perpetuation of our slavery

Journalists, you got agency

Don’t publish propaganda aimlessly

And though Nehru looks disdainfully

At the royalty you got a place to me

Your sacred deed, forsake your privilege

Turn to the people, embrace resistance

Nothing to hide, no fake intentions

Do or die

Our gravest mission

Now let me switch it up

They call me a commander

Ain’t got none to wield but love

This walking stick ain’t much to thrust

And though i’m cool with Linlithgow

That is of no matter because

Imma struggle if I must

‘Til the Raj and them combust

They mad at me? tell me why

Agony I feel inside

Rapidly compels my cry

Now look within your inner mind

Have no fear and testify

To that for which you’ve lived

And for which you have to die

Spy the truth inside my eyes

And the west may say to wait

But I don’t see them doing nothing

For the races they’ve enslaved

Read the writing on the wall

The same phrases I relay

You used to win back in the day

But now that game aint safe to play

‘Cause liberation is our fate

I ask today:

What’s an ally that you have to subjugate and make

Fight for a freedom they themselves couldn't taste?

So return and reinstate

The lustre borrowed from our gaze

And let our sorrows be allayed

Not tomorrow but today

Not tomorrow but today
