Bulla ki jaana main kaun Bulla ki jaana main kaun

Na main moman vich maseetan Na main vich kufar dian reetan Na main pakan vich paleetan Na main andar bed kitaban Na main rehnda phaang sharaban Na main rehnda mast kharaban Na main shadi na ghamnaki Na main vich paleetan pakeen Na main aaabi na main khaki Na main aatish na main paun

Bulla ki jaana main kaun

Na main arabi na lahori Na main hindi shehar Nagaori Na hindu na turk pashauri Na main bhet mazhab de paya Na main aadam hawwa jaya Na koi apna naam dharaya Avval aakhar aap nu jana Na koi dooja hor pacchana Mai ton na koi hor syana Bulle shah kharha hai kaun

Bulla ki jaana main kaun Bulla ki jaana main kaun

Na main moosa na pharoah Na main aatish na main paun Na main rahnda vich Nadaun Bulle shah kharha hai kaun Bulla ki jaana main kaun Bulla ki jaana main kaun

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

Not a believer inside the mosque, am I Nor a pagan disciple of false rites Not the pure amongst the impure Neither Moses, nor the Pharoh

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

Not in the holy Vedas, am I Nor in opium, neither in wine Not in the drunkard`s craze Niether awake, nor in a sleeping daze

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

In happiness nor in sorrow, am I Neither clean, nor a filthy mire Not from water, nor from earth Neither fire, nor from air, is my birth Bulleh! to me, I am not known

Not an Arab, nor Lahori Neither Hindi, nor Nagauri Hindu, Turk (Muslim), nor Peshawari Nor do I live in Nadaun

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

Secrets of religion, I have not known From Adam and Eve, I am not born I am not the name I assume Not in stillness, nor on the move

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

I am the first, I am the last None other, have I ever known I am the wisest of them all Bulleh! do I stand alone?

Bulleh! to me, I am not known

Lyrics # It's not time to make a change Just relax, take it easy You're still young, that's your fault There's so much you have to know Find a girl, settle down If you want you can marry Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy I was once like you are now And I know that it's not easy To be calm when you've found Something going on But take your time, think a lot Think of everything you've got For you will still be here tomorrow But your dreams may not How can I try to explain? When I do he turns away again It's always been the same, same old story From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen Now there's a way And I know that I have to go away I know I have to go It's not time to make a change Just relax, take it slowly You're still young, that's your fault There's so much you have to go through Find a girl, settle down If you want you can marry Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy All the times that I've cried Keeping all the things I knew inside It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it If they were right I'd agree But it's them they know, not me Now there's a way And I know that I have to go away I know I have to go

Lyrics # They say boys don't cry But your dad has shed a lot of tears They say I should be a strong man But baby, I'm still filled with fear Sometimes I don't know who I am Sometimes I question why I'm here I just wanna be a good dad Will I be, I have no idea They say girls shouldn't be tough And moms should raise their kids at home But baby, I know that that isn't true 'Cause your momma's the toughest person I know I wanna raise you to be like her And watch you show the world how to do it on your own I'm still tryna figure out who I am I don't wanna mess this up or do this wrong I'm gonna be there for your first breath I don't know if I'll be there for your first step I can promise you that I'll try to work less But the tour's routed, and I got this album Put in so many hours, and I just want the outcome To be something that I can look back and I can be proud of Don't wanna be a dad that's living in FaceTime But I've got a world to sing to and you at the same time I won't spoil you, you can trust that For your sweet sixteen, you get a bus pass Had your heart broken, been there, done that I love you and I can't give you enough of that Get back to community that raised you up Read Langston Hughes, I suggest A Raisin in the Sun Listen to Sam Cooke, a change gon' come You put the work in, don't worry about the praise, my love Don't try to change the world, find something that you love And do it every day Do that for the rest of your life And eventually, the world will change I'll be patient, one more month You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb Times are changing, I know, but who am I if I'm the person you become If I'm still growing up, up, up, up I'm still growing up, up, up, up I'm still growing up I recommend that you read The Alchemist Listen to your teachers, but cheat in calculus Tell the truth, regardless of the consequence And every day, give your momma a compliment Take your girl to the prom But don't get too drunk hanging out the limo Slow dance with your woman in your arms Sneak her in after but boy, you better tiptoe Don't wake your mom up, do yoga, learn 'bout karma Find God, but leave the dogma The quickest way to happiness learning to be selfless Ask more questions, talk about yourself less Study David Bowie, James Baldwin and 2Pac Watch the sun set with best friends from a rooftop Wear a helmet, don't be stupid, jaywalk, but look before you do it If it snows, go outside, build a jump, get some help Get a sled, thrash the hill with your friends, 'til it melts Go to festivals, camp, fall in love and dance You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chance Take risks, 'cause life moves so fast You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chanceI'll be patient, one more month You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb Times are changing, I know, but who am I If I'm the person you become If I'm still growing up, up, up, up I'm still growing up, up, up, up I'll be patient, one more month You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb Times are changing, I know, but who am I If I'm the person you become If I'm still growing up, still growing up, still growing up If I'm still growing up, still growing up, still growing up If I'm still growing up I'm still growing up, ooh I'm still growing up I'm still growing up
