What are you talking about?
If you think you’ve heard enough of weird lyrics, wait to till you hear the track sung by Karan Aujla featuring Deep Jandu.
The track is called Shit Talk and it goes something like this—I hear you talking that I’mma let you bark. Ho naam aa banaya hikk wale zor te, Jandu jandu kehke aa balaunde lok ni. Pith pichhe saale rahe gallan karde
Ajj tak kise kolon hoya rok ni….
Now, this is called creativity unchecked!
