"Bitch I'm Back" is a rousing first track off of Sidhu's much anticipated album - Moosetape. Sung and composed by Sidhu himself with production from frequent collaborator The Kidd, the track features samples from legendary hip hop artist Tupac Shakur, who Sidhu has previously referenced as a source of inspiration.
Sidhu sounds the alarm to his haters letting them know that he's returned from his brief hiatus from the Punjabi music industry. He reminds them that he's still at the top of the industry despite what they'd have you believe.
Oy aageya! (x4)
He’s here!

O kachha maas paarh ke jawaan hunda jo
He who grows up eating raw meat
Beehr'an di naiyon hre'aayi chattda
He doesn’t consume the forest’s vegetation
Launde (1) jehe banaaye kai team'aan firde
These boys try to make teams against me
Kalla kehra chupp dekh putt jatt da
This son of a Jatt isn’t quiet either
Pitt ki ghumaayi ni mein thode time layi
I only turned my back for a second
Time mera geyaa gallan udaun lagg paye
They say that my time is gone
[Sidhu Moose Wala]
Das ohna nu prahuna tuada fer aageya
Tell them their son-in-law is back again
Ni jehre meri gair-haazri ch gaun lagg paye
Those that started singing in my absence
Ohnaa nu prahuna tuada fer aageyaa
Tell them their son-in-law is back again
Ni jehre meri gair-haazri ch chhaun lagg paye
Those that started to shine in my absence
[Sidhu Moose Wala]
Maar dheyangе chakk dheyange gallan jogey nе
“I’ll kill you, I’ll get you picked up” They make empty threats
Vaadhu hi udaayi avain mitti jaande ne
They’re blowing dirt into the wind
Mere vaangu chaunde ne agaaz karna
They want to start their careers like me
Hokey insecure gaane sitti jaande ne
They keep releasing songs out of insecurity
Saade hi trend saathon copy karke
They’re copying my trends
Saade utte hype jehi banaun lagg paye
They’re basing their hype off me

Reel'an aali filmi naa life jatt di
My life is not a movie
Hor task bathere, lekhe laune painde ne
I have a lot of things that need to be done
Kalli rabb ne taraki (2) nayion ditti jatt nu
God did not just give me success
Parchey vi ditti bhugtaune painde ne
He also gave me ordeals that I have to suffer through
Khed te khadaiyaa ki mein band kareya
The minute I stopped playing the game
Game vicho'n out darsaun lagg paye
They started saying I’m out of the game

Tere te jawani nawi nawi aayi ae
You’ve recently stepped into your youth
Te zindagi naa mull, oh taa mere jeha nu
You don’t understand the value of life, but I do
Jinnan nu tu poojein jehde oh nahi bakshe
You don’t even spare those that you worshipped
Ki layi baithu oho tere jehian nu
What does that say about those like you
Na nalka nu naal jaande layak mitra
You’re not even deserving of going to hell, friend
Kato sutti pai maut uksaun (3) lag paye
Why are you provoking your death?

Kalam naal likhe itihaas hunn taayi'n
I’ve made history up to now
Saukha nahio'n kamm jo harek karr du
Making history is not for everyone
Talent place te depend karey naa
Talent does not depend on the place you’re in
O pind baitha-baitha duniya nu shake karr du
I can shake the world while sitting in my pind
Oh Moosetape sunn 30 track'an di
Listening to the 30 tracks on my Moosetape
Vairi dand'an vich unglaan chabaun lagg paye
My enemies are biting at their nails

All you muthafuckas that thought you was gonna bury me
Thought you was gonna silence me
Let you muthafuckas know
I’m back!
1. ਲੌਂਡਾ, launda (noun, masculine): boy, lad, brat. Has a negative connotation.
2. ਤਰੱਕੀ, taraki (nount, femenine): progress, growth, promotion

Prauhna means "son-in-law" in Punjabi. In Punjabi culture, when a man is married to your daughter he's afforded the ultimate respect because he is now supporting and caring for her. In this song, Sidhu is not literally referring to himself as the son-in law. Instead he's using the term to imply his seniority over new Punjabi artists and the deference he deserves with his status.
