Lyrics can be read below:

Intro:
On this day, this most auspicious day
In a rap format the contemporary way
Describing your qualities, and all that may consist
Let us break it down and break it down like this…

Chorus:
When confusion overwhelms and what is false is seen as true
Scripture tells us to seek guidance and that guidance should be you
Equipped with full knowledge and firm faith in the Supreme
You cut down our illusion; you free us from our dream

Ahd:
Oh yes, yes indeedy, I wrote, I wrote graffiti,
used to hang out in bars and cafes so seedy,
Thinking I was God, the big DJ supreme,
a doggy dog life living the bow wow dream,
A bum with no job, always on vacation,
Exploitation of girls my main occupation,
Such indulgence in pleasures bereft of permanence
Left me lonely and lost and seeking life’s relevance…

Urj:
With thumb in the air I used to travel town to town
Not preaching Krishna’s message only drinking double brown
Spent huge amounts of money acquired by sinful means
So-called pleasures exhausted by the age of sixteen!
Left empty, confused, frustrated, deep in thought
Seeking a better life, the Hare Krishna’s I sought…

Chorus:
When confusion overwhelms and what is false is seen as true
Scripture tells us to seek guidance and that guidance should be you
Equipped with full knowledge and firm faith in the Supreme
You cut down our illusion; you free us from our dream

Brahmanda bhramite kona bhagyavan jiva
Guru-krsna-prasade paya bhakti-lata-bija

Wandering aimlessly with no goal and no direction,
Thru some causeless mercy, came divine intervention
By the help of your disciples and your loft interface,
You showed us real love, you gave us a taste
“Be all you can be”, in these loft facilities
you engaged our natures, our diverse abilities
To chant with concentration is a daily cultivation
the foundation you taught by your own demonstration
This knowledge you gave to keep out all the maya
But closing our eyes we jumped back in the fire

Even after falling, after all that we’d been given,
Beneficiaries of your love we were mercifully forgiven
Gurudeva, Gurudeva, our ever well wishing friend
This material world you help us to transcend.
on this holy day… with a hip hop beat,
Beggars we remain, reaching for your lotus feet

Chorus:
When confusion overwhelms and what is false is seen as true
Scripture tells us to seek guidance and that guidance should be you
Equipped with full knowledge and firm faith in the Supreme
You cut down our illusion; you free us from our dream

(Vedapriya chants Hare Krishna and shouts, Haribol!)

Your foolish disciples,
Aghahanta das, Urjjesvari dasi and Vedapriya dasi.
