Lyrics for Rang De Basanti : Paatshaala - Be A Rebel

Here are the lyrics I deciphered out of Rang De Basanti's Blaaze Track "Be A Rebel". Took one listen to decipher it. Typin it out of my experience listenin to hip hop man, 99% accurate.

Paatshala - Be A Rebel
"Say hoi ho oh hoi ho (x2)

Loose Control

Be A Rebel

Verse 1:
To the mahal of the Taj
To the Minar of Qutub
To the Kumari of Kanya (Say hoi oh hoi)
To the Panjim of Goa (Say hoi oh hoi)
To the Kaancheepuram
Zindabad Zindagood
All have something to say (Say hoi oh hoi)
They all have something to say
They all have something to say

Follow me Follow me Follow me now!

Apni tho paatshala, masti ki paatshala
Be A Rebel

Chorus:
Naa koi padne waala, Naa koi seekne wala
Naa koi padne waala, Naa koi seekne wala
Apni tho paatshala, masti ki paatshala
Apni tho paatshala, masti ki paatshala
Loose Control

Verse 2:
India and Pakistan
Bangladesh all in the soul
Khajuraho to Coimbatore
Say hoi oh hoi
(Say hoi hoh hoi)

From the Gateway of India
Upto the Himalayas
Across the Ganga Yamuna
Say hoi oh hoi
(Say hoi hoh hoi)

To Shirdi to the Red Fort
Rourkela Yeah u know
From Ajmer to Orissa
Say hoi oh hoi
(Say hoi hoh hoi)

Loose Control

Chorus (x1)

Be A Rebel

Verse 3:
Amar Akbar Antony
Ram Rahim Abdullah
Searching for a bright star
Say hoi oh hoi
(Say hoi hoh hoi)

To the corners of the Earth
What is our (search??) worth?
What is our destiny?
Say hoi oh hoi
(Say hoi hoh hoi)

Imagine we go back in time
Free your soul, Free your mind
Take a look what do you find?
Say hoi oh hoi
(Say hoi hoh hoi)

Loose Control
One more time!!
Loose.. Loose..
Loose Control
Haha (x3)!!

Be A Rebel

I'm impressed with Blaaze's flow although this piece of poetry is totally weak ass stuff. I dont see any rebellion in his lyrics. They sound more like a national integration hip hop song serving shoutouts to some places in India. And the wanksta never even acknowledged his hometown, Chennai, in the one chance he gets to give shoutouts. But Kaancheepuram can't be considered actual Chennai, can it? I'm pssd off man. But for a rap pundit like me, Blaaze is the only shit we'll get to hear making some national noise. Just some half ass verses. Although his voice sounds good. Bottomline. If Blaaze ever made a true Hip Hop album, I'll cop it to hear what he has to say. And if it truly reps Hip Hop, Blaaze is the MAN.

Regarding his collabs with A.R.Rahman, I seriously dont know why he keeps giving him chances. Thats a story we may never get to hear coz of the legend' low-profile. Sigh!

Here I am wasting time writing lyrics of a wanskta who's just topped the pop charts. But Life goes on....

  4. After listening to Blaaze over the years, and mellowing down a lot myself, I've come to see him as a commercial rapper who has a good voice..

    Anyways, guess my post was made knee jerk when I was a hip hop fanatic.. I've learnt to live with Blaaze's style
