*[Hook]*

Johar, Johar (yeah, yeah)

This is Disom, this is ours

Johar, Johar

No degree, no syllabus

We the wildest scholars

*[Verse 1]*

No bell rings, no roll call, no late mark

Our classroom's got no ceiling, just the treetop for a skate park

Chalk dust? Nah, we breathe pollen

Every lesson that we learn is stolen

Straight from the wind, straight from the river talking

Your textbook's static, ours keep evolving

No homework, but we solving problems that matter

While your suits sign deals with a signature and a chatter

We ain't graduated, but we got the wisdom

Sun in the syllabus, root in the system

Photosynthesis, that's our chemistry

No greed in our biology, that's the difference, see

*[Hook]*

Johar, Johar (yeah, yeah)

This is Disom, this is ours

Johar, Johar

No degree, no syllabus

We the wildest scholars

*[Verse 2 — flex / callout]*

You brought a smartphone, thought you'd buy the forest

Bro your bulldozer's loud but we the chorus

Marang Buru watching, ain't nothing you can hide

Every tree we hug got roots deeper than your pride

Talk that CSR, but your ledger's got a landslide

Karma's got a mining license, homie, better run and hide

We ain't scared of your machines or your paperwork

Anekta mein Ekta — that's the flex, that's the network

Small hands, big voice, that's the algorithm

Y'all invested wrong, we the actual system

*[Bridge — call & response]*

(Johar!) — Say it louder

(Disom!) — Say it prouder

Every root a receipt, every leaf a signature

This land ain't collateral, this land's the literature

*[Hook x2 outro]*

Johar, Johar

This is Disom, this is ours

Johar, Johar

No degree, no syllabus

We the wildest scholars

rap mixtape style

tribal santhali tone

Santhali tone should be there fully

Santhali tribal rap mixtape, powerful indigenous Santhali musical identity, modern hip-hop fused with traditional Santhali folk music. Deep male tribal rap vocals with raw earthy delivery, energetic group vocals and authentic call-and-response chanting.

Heavy traditional Santhali percussion: madal, tamak, tumdak, dhamsa-style tribal drums, layered hand percussion, deep festival drum patterns, syncopated rhythmic grooves. Add traditional Santhali folk melodic elements, bamboo flute textures, natural acoustic percussion and a strong village-festival atmosphere.

Modern production: deep 808 bass, punchy hip-hop drums, tight rap beat, subtle atmospheric pads, cinematic low-end, but traditional Santhali percussion must remain dominant and clearly audible.

The song should sound like a young Santhali/Adivasi community speaking with confidence and unity — proud, rebellious, earthy and powerful, not commercial Bollywood and not generic EDM.

Rap-mixtape energy with a strong underground cypher feeling. Verses should be rhythmically sharp and aggressive but intelligible. Hook should become a large communal Santhali-style chant, with multiple voices answering the lead singer.

Use a strong call-and-response structure:

Lead voice: “Johar!”

Group: powerful response

Lead voice: “Disom!”

Group: powerful response

Build gradually from tribal percussion into full hip-hop production. Make the final hook huge, with layered male and female group vocals, traditional festival chanting and pounding drums.

Mood: proud, defiant, ancestral, youthful, united, earthy, cinematic, revolutionary.

Tempo: around 94–100 BPM.

Minor/modal folk feel.

Raw live-percussion character rather than overly polished pop production.

MOST IMPORTANT: The musical phrasing, percussion, vocal rhythm and chorus should strongly evoke Santhali folk performance and community celebration. Avoid generic “world music,” generic Bollywood, Punjabi bhangra, or African tribal styling.
