Lyrics
Intro
Yeah, we speak truth, no filter
From the streets to the history books, listen up
Verse
They say Indians dirty, mock the way we talk and dress
But centuries of bathing rituals put that to rest
Ayurveda cleans the soul, Indus Valley drains the mess
Stepwells hold the wisdom, hygiene’s no contest
Chorus
We rise from the ashes, breakin’ all the chains
Racism and lies can't bury our names
From ancient lands to modern scenes
We’re proud, resilient, chasing dreams
Verse
Yo, veneers flipped, Kolhapuri kicks turned Prada slick
Yoga, spices, all stolen quick, roots dismissed, that’s the trick
Our craft’s five thousand years old, they paint us wrong, story cold
But we stand tall, bold, truth told, history’s ours to hold
Chorus
We rise from the ashes, breakin’ all the chains
Racism and lies can't bury our names
From ancient lands to modern scenes
We’re proud, resilient, chasing dreams
Verse
Mahmud’s raids, Timur’s blade, blood spilled in Delhi’s shade
Mughals brought pain, British reign, famines and death to stain
Ten million lost, Bengal’s cost, Jallianwala’s innocent tossed
But through the darkness, we persist, this history can’t be missed
Chorus
We rise from the ashes, breakin’ all the chains
Racism and lies can't bury our names
From ancient lands to modern scenes
We’re proud, resilient, chasing dreams
Verse
They show slums and dirt on screens, ignoring tech and space machines
ISRO’s pride, billion strides, fifth world economy’s rise
Our culture rich, shining bright, British lies can’t dim our light
We answer hate with facts and fight, this is our story, our right
Chorus
We rise from the ashes, breakin’ all the chains
Racism and lies can't bury our names
From ancient lands to modern scenes
We’re proud, resilient, chasing dreams
Outro
From the past to the now, we reclaim our crown
Indian pride worldwide, we stand unbound
