-10 20 Lyrics
minus 10/20
abe nava saal ye naya shot hai
aa khotagardi minus
kiya chhote minus 10/20
scene ko garam rakhte
khud ko rakhte minus 10/20
mehnat karke haasil kiya
bina masaka sab cheez
asli log ko shamil kiya
bande yahan pe tough cheez
minus 10/20
bolo minus 10/20
bolo minus 10/20
minus 10/20
bole minus 10/20
bole minus 10/20
mausam minus 10/20
bhai tera one piece
pair bande tere tujhe gahra fenku panji
minus mein bhi ganji
tu bas baith ke rum pi
humko nahi zarurat lala
hum khud hi garam cheez
tu panchhi bas chimni
actor par film nahi
dhooa itna idhar humko sahii mein lagta chimni
aur dark circle aankhon pe aur sar pe apne bin nhi
aa dekhna tha aisa din to dekhe kitne din nahi
aa khotagardi minus
kiya chhote minus 10/20
scene ko garam rakhte
khud ko rakhte minus 10/20
mehnat karke haasil kiya
bina masaka sab cheez
asli log ko shamil kiya
bande yahan pe tough cheez
ha minus 10/20
ha minus 10/20
minus, minus
dekhe bade sapne chhote kamron mein
raaten guzari sabron mein
pehle se hi ziddi hum nahi jeete kiske sharton pe
zindagi barasat tu bhai jo bolte hain wo nahi hote ab
apna time hai lala bahut roye ab hum nahi rote
ab dekhte kahan hoon main khud se bana hoon main
tujhse nahi liya bhook sirf pet nahi iradon mein
tujhse bhi hard hoon main
gussa baha doon main
foonkne pe aaya to phir foonkta pahadon main
mujhe sober rahne de
har dafa main pyar sabko piece diya
mere khilaf shots dal to chakki tera piece diya
ricksha se aaye ladke scene ka meter khinch diya
pike pe comments mein chhode tere ko riz diya
papa wala paisa nahi tera jue wala paisa
sume shot smoke leke dhooe wala paisa
hum bhare rahe bada bill tera chhua hai be paisa
humein pata nahi tha khokha woka dikhta tha ye kaisa
hum nahi bhule apna bura time
nahi bhule tera sada rhyme
nahi bhule kaun saga nahi hai
hum nahi bhule nahi bhule
haan ek ghar tha do family
bhade ko nahi paise
aa baap hustler one man mushkil waqt wo jhela kaise
isliye usne bheja bantai ko ghar laya maine paise
lekin raste pe baithe hain so bande tere jaise
mera sapna chheenane
khuda bola apna scene hai
jitna nasha tune kiya utna nasha apne seene hai
ud se ladka nikla ghar se bahar aaj apna sapna jeene
ye poora aasama ye hai roof mera
koi aayega kaise chhappara chheenane
mumbai 40037, 37 kya
ek aur bar hai wo banta hai ki nahi
banta hai to haath uthao
chalo mere saath bolenge abhi
aa khotagardi minus
kiya chhote minus 10/20
scene ko garam rakhte
khud ko rakhte minus 10/20
mehnat karke haasil kiya
bina masaka sab cheez
asli log ko shamil kiya
bande yahan pe tough cheez
minus 10/20
bolo minus 10/20
bolo minus 10/20
minus 10/20
bolo minus 10/20
bolo minus 10/20

“-10 20” Song Meaning Explained
The Big Picture
You know, the title hits you before the beat even drops… Minus 10/20. It’s not a random date or score. It’s the whole thesis of the song, wrapped in two numbers. Think about it. In school, minus 10 out of 20 means you failed. You’re starting in the negative, in the red, you’re already behind before you even begin. And that’s exactly the vibe Emiway is building here. This whole track is about owning that starting point… about the people who looked at him, at his background, at his dreams from a tiny room, and already gave him a failing grade. The song is the story of what you build from that “minus.” It’s not a sad story, it’s a defiant one. He took their minus and made it his identity, his fuel. So the title isn’t a complaint, it’s a badge. It’s saying, “You see a deficit? Watch me turn it into my strength.”
Most Impactful Lines
Man, there are bits in this that just… you have to rewind. Like in that first verse, he throws out: “aur dark circle aankhon pe aur sar pe apne bin nhi”. Which is just… so visceral. It’s not just “I worked hard.” It’s the physical proof of it. The dark circles from sleepless nights, and the “bin” on the head, like, no hat, no crown, nothing… just him, raw and exposed. He’s showing you the cost, not just telling you. And then there’s the line that always gets me, it’s quieter but heavier: “hum nahi bhule apna bura time / nahi bhule tera sada rhyme”. That’s the emotional core right there. The first part is about never forgetting the struggle, keeping that fire. But the second… “I haven’t forgotten your stale rhymes.” It’s a double-edged sword. It’s acknowledging the people who doubted or dissed him, but also dismissing them as irrelevant, as “sada,” stale. He remembers the pain, but he’s not held down by the haters. He just remembers they were there. That’s such a powerful way to frame it, you know?
Decoding The Chorus
Okay, the chorus, we all shout it. But let’s sit with it for a second, line by line. It starts with a call: “aa khotagardi minus / kiya chhote minus 10/20”. “Come on, do the mischief, the ‘minus’.” He’s inviting everyone into this mindset, this underdog stance. It’s an attitude. Then he flips it: “scene ko garam rakhte / khud ko rakhte minus 10/20”. This is the crucial twist. We keep the scene hot, we’re the energy… but personally, internally, we stay “minus 10/20.” We stay hungry. We never get complacent and start thinking we’ve scored a perfect 20. The success doesn’t erase the struggle identity. The next lines are the blueprint: “mehnat karke haasil kiya / bina masaka sab cheez”. Everything was earned through work, without any “masaka” – without any shortcuts or begging. And finally, the crew: “asli log ko shamil kiya / bande yahan pe tough cheez”. He brought the real ones along, and the people here are tough, they’re built for this. So the chorus isn’t just a catchy hook, it’s a manifesto. It’s the cycle: embrace the underdog status, use it as fuel to create heat, achieve through pure work, and only share it with your real tribe. It’s a whole philosophy in four bars.
Most Relatable Part
For me, and I think for so many people who didn’t start with anything, the most brutally relatable part is that middle verse about family. It’s when the bravado dips for a second and it’s just… real life. “haan ek ghar tha do family / bhade ko nahi paise / aa baap hustler one man mushkil waqt wo jhela kaise”. One house, two families, can’t even pay the rent. A father who’s a one-man army against hard times. That’s not just a bar, that’s a snapshot of a million households. That pressure, that silent weight of watching your parents struggle… it’s a specific kind of motivation that’s equal parts love and desperation. When he says, “isliye usne bheja bantai ko ghar laya maine paise” – “that’s why he sent me out, and I brought home the money” – that’s the payoff. That’s the entire reason. The fame, the cars, the scene… it’s cool. But the core drive, the heart of it all, is that simple, primal need to fix that one problem for the people you love. That shift from being a burden to being the provider. That’s the part that isn’t about hip-hop, it’s about life. And it hits different every single time.
Conclusion & Overall Message
So what are you left with after all this, right? After the boasts and the memories and the family stories… I think the song leaves you with a sense of hardened pride. It’s not a happy-go-lucky victory song. It’s a song stained with sweat and memory. The message isn’t “look how great I am now.” It’s “look what it took to get here, and look where I came from.” The “minus” never really goes away, and that’s the point. It becomes your foundation, your reminder, your edge. The final note is one of self-sufficiency and loyalty. He built this from a deficit, with real people, on his own terms. And the last little callback, “Mumbai 40037, 37 kya?” – it’s like a mic drop of origin. He’s shouting out the specific postal code of his home, his minus, and almost daring anyone to question it. So yeah, the song’s meaning… it’s a monument. It’s a monument built not on a perfect score, but on a minus. And honestly, that’s a way stronger foundation.
