Barshe atte kirpana hoge purane hun jamana badalgaya hun zamana pistol rifflan da (something like that). If there was an attack, it wasn't that good. Humble the poet, however, is an utter joker. He got popular for bringing something new and then turned his back on the Guru and regards Sikh rehit as a mere dogmatic ritual. He auctioned himself off as being underground non mainstream artistic, but his real face showed when he started to sing songs about drugs, partying and explicit kaami video/lyrics. He's at the intellectual standard lil wayne is at - not that high.

The overall song (especially how it started out) sounds like it's telling the punjabi youth to change with the new "jamana". It's the same feeling I got after watching the Speedy Singh trailers that indirectly tell the punjabi youth to try to westernize at the expense of identity/Sikhi.

I quite like Humble the Poet, he's an artist, not a braham giani, I don't understand why if you don't like him you have to call him out as if he's representing Sikhism, he's not, he's a Sikh rapper, there's a difference, if you don't like it, watch some other youtube clips.

Be careful of maya, it manifests as Sikhi related things sometimes in this dark age.

The character Harry Pannu in the song at 1 minute states that kirpans have gone old and the new era, which has changed, is about guns. Before these guys wrote this song, they should have found out that Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji Maharaj carried a gun himself, but gave the Kirpan as his gift to the Khalsa Panth at the first Amrit sanchar and never changed the kirpan, even though Satguru knew that guns existed and will get more advanced. Such ignorance in the Sikhs shows why we don't progess. These guys release this ignorant stuff, then the Khalsa Panth has to work twice as hard to show that a Kirpan has a higher meaning than just a weaponed. If these characters would have done their research for just 15 minutes they would have saved themselves from slandering Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji Maharaj.

I agree with Singh559 comment about Humble the poet. He used Sikhi to get to the top and then turned his back on the Guru by rapping in favor of partying, drugs, and lustful acts.

Many Sikhs say Sikhi is about being a learner. So what did these artist learn after making this song? If you want to learn in life, then first you have to have a proper teacher that knows what they are talking about. These characters traded in the Guru's wisdom for worldly fame.

Anyone that has ANY ability to interpret a song knows that the entire thing is about the sad situation Punjabi Sikh youth are going through with the pressures of "modern" living against keeping true to their roots. It's BLATANTLY obvious that the 'controversial' lyrics that are being spoken of here are sung in a sarcastic, insulting tone about Punjabi gang violence and guns, WHICH IS a problem in the community. Obviously anyone that takes lyrics at the most simplistic face value are the SAME type of people that take everything they read so literally they become narrow, ardent, negative, and locked in their views. Then they come on a message board to spew venom against the artist without any remote knowledge of the actual message.

Are people for real?

Our Gurus may well have known about how the gun may have developed but they didnt have the manufacturing capabilities back then to make tens of thousands of machine pistols and assault rifles. It's not as if bladed weapons and guns are mutually exclusive either.

Somebody doesn't understand punjabi here. The song is promoting punjabi culture. Harry Pannu in his lyrics says the jatt have stopped producing desi alochol and started drinking alcohol as produced by the english, near the end of the song. Then the song comes to together when b magic says they tell us to change like the seasons, but stay rooted in the things we (punjabis) believe in. The beginning humble says change before you have too, time does not hestitate and if you hang on to old times then its the only sin. Then the next part is of Harry Pannu enforcing the idea that in this era the times have changed so switch from a Kirpan to guns. Next part is saying that punjabi boys used to be caring guys, still drinking alcohol, but now they have become womenizers. The song is promoting punjabi culture as to what it was and to accept the new things that time provides that does not make you leave punjabi culture. For these three, keeping a kirpan is part of old times, which can be changed. They are saying change is not bad if it's a postive move forward.

There is too much anger in people these days...for that i agree with the song. No understanding left in people anymore.

The Gurus knew what will happen in the future with technology (guns get better with tech), the Gurus are Akal Purakh themselves, but Akal Purakh blessed us with a kirpan as a Kakkar, even though guns were used by the Khalsa Panth in Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji Maharaj time. If the Gurus wanted, they could have eliminated all the enemies of the Khalsa Panth in a split second. But they stayed inside of Akal Purakh's Hukam. In the past Saints have offered to help the Gurus with their shakti, but the response was always it is Akal Purakh's Hukam for this to take place. Sant Baba Gurbachan Singh ji Maharaj, knew Sri Darbar Sahib would be attacked in 1984, but Sant ji did not go out of Akal Purakhs Hukam to stop the attack. The Sant's of Akal Purakh know the future and so does Satguru. But Satguru still blessed the Sikhs with a Kirpan as a Kakkar and never told us to change the Kakkar. Satguru has told us to keep shastar on us, but a shastar (gun or any other weaponed, even a sword) can never be referred to as a Kirpan. A Kirpan is only given to the Sikhs at Amrit Sanchar.
