1st verse:
Nepalako chhoro hun ma Nepali ho naaun
Mechi dekhi Kaali samma failieko mero gaaun
Meraa bir purkhaa ko ragatley baancheko thaaun
Har juni aamaa timrai kokh maa janma lina paaun
Ma sabai janaa roko haina haaseko dekhna sakun
Ma Nepali haarko haina baancheko dekhna sakun
Ma Nepalako laagi maarna ani marna sakchhu
Tailey ta kehi garinas aba ma aafai garchhu
Ekdinmaa bandaina desh ma sadhai sangharsa garchhu
Tara toh jastaa kaput laai biswas garna banda garchhu
Ma bhaanchdinchhu teraa daaraa yedi feri dekhaiyo
Katdinchhu sabai haat jati aamaa lai ujyaaiyo
ma saath dinchhu mera Nepali daajubhaai haruko

2nd verse:
Ma shantiko jhandaa farfaraako dekhna chaahanchhu

Hook: (Anna)
Let it go, gotta let it go
Keep living you life coz it’s your time
(Your time)*3
Let it go you gotta let it go
Keep living you life coz it’s your time
(Your time)*3

Verse 1:
Look I’ve come a long way ever since the first day
From being a little kid to my 23rd birthday
From school, rice and curry to college and workdays
Hungry for mics every night, Monday to Sunday
Living for that one day when the stage is mine
When all the cameras blaze to capture me shine
The road looks bare heavy but I’m steady on the grind
look! my head is on the line my rep is on the edge
It’s already my time, getting rid of all the stress
I could hear my enemies cry as I take another step
You might fake a brother quick but you can’t take a brother’s love
Realize the value of life before you get close to a loss
I’m soaked up in thought as I focus on verve
So I stay open and watch as I construct this verse
Wish all my haters good luck, Thank you for hating my work
But watch me blow up like lava before I fade into earth

Hook: (Anna)
Let it go, gotta let it go
Keep living you life coz it’s your time
(Your time)*3
Let it go you gotta let it go
Keep living you life coz it’s your time
(Your time)*3

Verse 2:
They say “it’s all a game” but i was never playing
I was too busy in life looking for a better aim
Tryna find a way to free all the stress and the pain
But then everything I saw was depressive again
Till I learnt to treasure the life form of oneself
And how it could never be measured in terms of wealth
But I would rather die than lie when I judge myself
So I would guard my people even if I hurt myself
It’s like you need to work yesterday cos today is tomorrow
And better tighten your play or you gone end up in sorrow
Neck deep in a burrow and you can’t get out
No matter how influential you can’t fake rout
Sometimes it’s not easy to start over again
But then the wise don’t whine of what happened back then
And start again with all them ragged tools
Coz to live a dream, heart is all you need to have in you

Hook: (Anna)
Let it go, gotta let it go
Keep living you life coz it’s your time
(Your time)*3
Let it go you gotta let it go
Keep living you life coz it’s your time
(Your time)*3

Verse 3: (Duke)
You’re braver than you believe stronger than you seem
Not lonely when you think she’s no longer in your dreams
And courage is born from the troubles of the time
Though you might think that it’s tougher as you try
And struggle as you might in the tussle and the fight
Know that strength is in the soul not the muscle or the mind
So you live a poetry that you could not recite
While others write a poetry they could not realize
So I stop to think before i drop this ink
If god is up top then who’s on top of things?
Don’t know why some are more destined to marry fate
I guess heavy burdens are for those who carry weight
The wheels keep turning even if they burning
As life moves on its own steady pace
Move on, grow strong with my flow
Cos the moment is now, we all live it then let it go

Hook: (Anna)
Let it go, gotta let it go
Keep living you life coz it’s your time
(Your time)*3
Let it go you gotta let it go
Keep living you life coz it’s your time
(Your time)*3

Yama Buddha’s new video for “Aamaa”

Beat Production: Spadix & Mac

Verse 1:
I wish life was sweet like blueberry pie
but sadly I witnessed too many cries
We lost too many lives nourishment wise
I’m not even talking about the turbulent times
We all been hoping for consistent strides
But all I hear is bullshit, persistent lies
Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, the scenes are terrifying
All I speak is the truth, I don’t need to testify
I think people today need to rectify
Indifferent but not belligerent type
Healthy and wise, basically nice
We all need to come together like Gemini
What brings delight when two systems fight?
Maybe the sun isn’t bright enough to bring us light
We just might get down and fix sometimes
For all the mess we’ve made of human life

Hook:
It’s like you don’t exist coz you don’t know what it is
A country where the future sleeps under the bridge
All this feeling of hate is killing us straight
But you can’t see out ya’ window like you living in caves

Verse 2:
Look! I’m thankful for the life I got and other things
but there’s something that got me bothering
I can’t sleep, my heart keeps wondering
Man! my eyes seen too much suffering
Innocents murdered and drug money laundering
Homeless and struggling to keep up with the government
From men tortured to men-slaughter
Recording in my memory like a camcorder
I want freedom, all you bring is law and order
You’d hate to be bothered when ya’ life’s much harder
The light gets darker the fight gets harder
The price is larger the height is NASA
The flight will knock ya’ like the twin towers
these weak cowards will do nothing but seek power
Hands folded, none raise even at peak hours
Still they lose nothing so the defeat must be ours

Hook:
It’s like you don’t exist coz you don’t know what it is
A country where the future sleeps under the bridge
All this feeling of hate is killing us straight
But you can’t see out ya’ window like you living in caves

1st Verse:
Every time I grab the pen I raise the limit
Get deep in thoughts and start to blaze the feeling
You could never out-do the different ways I did it
Symbol of authentic hip hop I am I live it
I’m rude rough ruthless raw rare rigid
You could never stand upto me like a midget
This universe shall crumble the day we equivalent
I make dead spirits animate with my talent
Anticipate enchantment with every verse I drop
Ya’ best is garbage even my worst is hot
A’day top on work like hands on a mop
Like a car with a flat tire you need to stop
and change ya’ shit rearrange ya shit
it ain’t strange to see ya’ll deranged MCs
I sling CDs on the streets while you air on TV
but it’s funny how most people relate to me

Hook:
You just play with the mic while I got skills with it
Deal with it motha****as get real with it
I’m the main reason why ya’ bitches feel timid
Kill spirits with lyrics that are ill and vivid

Verse 2:
Yo! The way I kick it, I’d slay the sickest
I spit fatal shit a’day I’m the illest
You could call me the sickest MC you ever seen
Where I’m at is way past what you dream
My brain works insane like some kind of machine
A human being with more ammo than a submarine
A lyrical fiend with a never ending hunger
But the scary part is I’m forever getting stronger
Every rapper’s a hustler it makes me wonder
How come you cats a vet when ya’ best tape’s a blunder
I’m earsplitting like a hundreds rounds of thunder
Hip Hop comes from my heart, deep down and under
To where the soul is at, you should know this fact
Like a blind lover, I’m all over rap
So Hip Hop be my baby driving me crazy
And I barely be lazy from riding her daily

Hook:
You just play with the mic while I got skills with it
Deal with it motha****as get real with it
I’m the main reason why ya’ bitches feel timid
Kill spirits with lyrics that are ill and vivid

Yama Buddha:
Sometimes I wish If I could live the way I like
Unconfined of the boundaries that make us fight
The third world gives you an idea of what hell is like
where God himself can’t protect your life
It’s crazy the violence I daily sight
Cries of innocence makes my heart melt like ice

A recurring nightmare haunts me every night
They say man’s born a sinner I guess I’m paying the price
Everyday it’s like I’m living a curse
These feeling i possess can’t be put into words
I wanna see a mother smile before I sleep on my hearse
I don’t want a million bucks for spitting a verse
but food for hunger is what my lyrics are worth
healthcare to every woman who’s giving a birth
love to every human that lives on this earth
and a bullet to leave every sinister minister murked
This world is a mess when you realize it hurts
Children buried under the system alive at birth
I doubt the future of man gone survive this blur
coz if killing is wrong killing for civilization is worse
It’s gloomy when ya’ll say “God made us all equal”
We into mars but can’t help all the starving people
your thoughts are feeble
How could a cupid survive in the arms of evil
So I stay strong coz I don’t believe in afterlife sequels
It’s only once that you live or die
It’s sad coz the fact is you live to die
So Imma ignore everything and blaze some we*d tonight

Mac:
Sometimes, Sometimes
You work hard for a life
But don’t try to realise
That deep inside
is where the truth lies
Just open your eyes

Ktm Grime
Mandem wanna talk shit
but never listen the perfect definition of wut a fool is
a ruler yama buddha the rudest
i always end up winning when i lose it, mad temper
can’t read the tracks off ya cd like a bad sector
I’m deep like lazy, bring heat like crazy, the beat like ya baby, mother’s life, i wrecked her
poor shots, bad director
u hope to be dope could never cope with the pressure
i’m bringing back the crack the rap resurrector
allow it! i’m fresher
if it’s on I break bones you go home on a strecher
yes sir! that’s how i do
coming at ya straight outta kathmandu
think before you risk it, don’t get it twisted
ya’ll pigs sick coz of swine flu
mind u! the most wanted
plus the flow is so supersonic
headed for the summit yeah it’s ironic
anything to everything u dream i done it
yeah! I’m on it
You think u the guy but u miss when u try
real talk! ain’t done shit in ya life
all that you been spitting are lies
ya’ vision is fucked up like dick in ya eyes
I’m elegant ,equipped with required elements
the most definite to make u sink like sediments
I meditate over the beat till i levitate elevated to the peak
celebrate better state 7 days of the week, a renegade never late generating the heat
demonstrate better ways to resonate the spit, relegate, decimate the best in the bizz
A delegate renovating the shit, never hesitate, devastate while taking a piss
Look! we shut down the best of parties
don’t like me? I’m ya girls best artist
while u ain’t making a move, you parking
I push ignition like Sash…Car Key (Karki)
YB on a beat and it’s over
YB accapella..still over
Bring heat like squeezing a toaster
Feed on Mcs like an eating disorder
Get deeper than the navy be
cudn’t suck if i wanted like a baby Bee
You bound to fall off like baby teeth
Coz writing a verse takes u 80 weeks
N still all u rap is ABC
Cudn’t spit sick with rabies please
And since ya bitch got laid by me
I heard now you guys barely speak
Shit! You ain’t a match
Tryna change the fact that you lame and wack
Di*kriding too much got ya anus packed
Flames I rap off the top till my brains is ash
look! I come alive in the night time
go hard like the fuck of a lifetime
rock the show as you watch from the sidelines
run the underground flow like a pipeline
use my mind kinda like Einstein
on a doper addiction than while lines
I thought ya crew warned you with a high sign
I get more viewers than prime time

Anil Adhikari (born May 30), better known by the stage name Yama Buddha, is a bilingual (English/Nepali) rapper as well as an urban activist. He was born in Morang, Nepal and raised in Kathmandu.  He started writing poems since the 3rd grade and later found inspiration to do hip hop.  Most of his lyrics focus on controversial issues in politics and social taboos. The views expressed in his lyrics are largely commentary on issues such as class struggle, poverty, religion, government and institutional racism. It all started with a mixtape, “Yama Buddha” Mixtape which is a mixtape with 19 tracks written by  Yama Buddha,  recorded and mixed by  Spadix (Shailesh Shrestha) and designed by Roel Dots and Lines.  Little did they know about what they had gotten themselves into. To make a mixtape like this one doesn’t happen over night, it’s a long process. It took about one year to make all the songs that did and didn’t make it in to the mixtape,  the design, pressing of the cd’s and the advertising planning to come about. Remember that all of this was done with the hands and minds of two people and that money was of course an issue. But after hard work and a lot of learning along the way, Yama Buddha and Spadix can proudly present “Yama Buddha Mixtape.”
