Bhai bole je duniya noshto

Bhai bole je duniya noshto
ami jani je jibhon e anekh koshto
jokhun ami shuni boli anekh sphoshto
bhai, prorisram ase amar rokhto
[English]
My brother says that the world is rotten
I know that in this world, there are many struggles
When I hear him say this, I say with eloquence
bhai, perseverance is in our blood
Your dreams are about money, but if its just money, then you're an idiot
all my family is from dhaka, i'm going to visit for a few weeks
my mom says that im an idiot but its all good once we sit down to eat
me and my brother, thats how we got fat but we're still 1st class when we pull up in the honda
foreigners think that we're just gangstas, and the news says we're al qaeda
My brother still says that the world is rotten
but I know that in this world, there are many struggles
When I hear him say this, I say with eloquence
bhai, perseverance is in our blood
