Breaking Down the Psychology: Why We Love the Khalifa Why do we scream "Goli Maaro Mujhe Yaaro" at the top of our lungs? It seems counterintuitive to ask to be shot. However, in the context of B Praak’s gravelly voice, this line is about invincibility.

Here is the complete set of lyrics as heard in the track, along with an English translation to capture the essence of the aggression. Anthem (Chorus) Hindi/Romanized: Khalifa ke hum hain, Khalifa ke hum hain Jo kare hum wohi sahi hai Jo kahe hum wohi sahi hai Khalifa Ke Hum Hain Lyrics
