Lyrics:

I came up the hard way

My life has been good too
So it's my way or the highway
TK! Raftaar!

Tez gaadi mein bhi speed slow

Duniya ko pichhe chhode
Rambo in a Lambo!

I'm a self made man yo

Tabhi kafi sadte hain
Jisko jo kehna hai kehndo

Thankful to God!
Uske dikhaye raaste pe
Karu sapnon ki daud
Jeeyun khul ke time bhi mera hai
Aur rasta khali saara
Highway mera hai

Yeah! money over everything..

I'm Highway Star! I'm Ra!

Gaddi teri hai hummer

Hot lage jaise June ka summer
Race kare toh aag lagaye
Chase karu toh hath na aaye
Love the way tu ride kare
Feeling apni hide kare
Kyun tu mujhko wait karaye
Kyun na decide kare

Aviator ainaka laga ke

(See my aviator)
Side waali seat pe bitha ke
(Baby, be my navigator)
Mera highway star
Mera mera.. mera highway star
Mera mera.. mera highway star

Thodi boht liquor chadake

Unchi unchi speaker baja ke
Mera highway star
Mera mera mera highway star

Gaane saare mere banger

Ego mera zero
Par thoda bohat anger (This is my way)
Tujhe leke chalun sair pe
Gaadi ko chalu baby udne wale gear pe
(On the highway)

Slow and steady jab bhi tu ho ready

Gaadi pe tu haath rakh
Ferrari ya Mercedes lady

Kaho na rukne ko
Jisko dukhta hai dukhne do
Sabse ladke itna uppar aaya nahi jhukne ko (x2)

Nahi labhni tainu mere wargi

London hovein ya Vegas
Fan teri saari fail karungi
Tujhe karugi main bebas
I think I'm in trouble (x2)

Love the way tu ride kare

Feeling apni hide kare
Kyun tu mujhko wait karaye
Kyun na decide kare

Aviator ainaka laga ke (see my aviator)

Side waali seat pe bitha ke (Baby, be my navigator)
Mera highway star
Oh mera highway star

Thodi boht liquor chadha ke

Unchi unchi speaker baja ke
Mera highway star
Mera highway star
Bang!

Recently our honourable Supreme Court passed an order banning sale of liquor
within 500 metres of highways. The implications of this order are definitely
debatable. According to the court this decision will help in reducing cases of
drunk driving; now this is the wished implication but one sure implication is that
it will lead to losses of businesses and jobs for the common man and loss of
revenue for the government.

First of all I would like to mention two happenings of this month:

1. Banning o sale of liquor within 500 metres of highways by the honourable

Supreme Court of India w.e.f. 1st April 2017.
2. Release of a video song on youtube by the name Mera Highway Star Video
Song | Tulsi Kumar & Khushali Kumar | Raftaar. This video was published on
8th April 2017.

Now you must be thinking that how these two events are related. Those who
have listened to this song might have guessed by now what I intend to say
through this blog. I am quoting a stanza from the lyrics of this song,

Thodi boht liquor chadha ke

Unchi unchi speaker baja ke
Mera highway star
Mera highway star
Yes these lines are openly promoting drunk driving on highways. Now what I
intend to say is that if the Supreme Court really wants to check drunk driving, it
should put a check on these types of songs which are gaining mainstream
acceptance in the popular culture. You are banning sale of liquor within 500
metres of highways and at the same time these types of songs are openly
promoting drunk driving. In my opinion the best way to curb this menace of
drunk driving is spreading awareness among the public and strict patrolling by
the police. Putting blanket bans will hardly help solve the problem because those
who intend to drink and drive will find some ways. Drunkards wont mind taking a
detour of a kilometre or two for their share of liquor. The problem is that drunk
driving is being promoted as a thrilling adventure in the popular culture. This
needs to stop now. Banning these types of songs might help more rather than
banning sale of liquor which has evidently led to losses of businesses and jobs
for the common man and loss of revenue for the government.
