Steppin' up in the club
All tooled up like a thug
rub-a-dub-dub, rub-a-rub-a-dub-dub (x4)

I light up like a genie and I blow up on this song
Aladdin; no kiddin', boy I need a rub
Me and my speakers speak in sub, sub, sub
You know who I am, I run this fuckin' club
dub-a-dub-a-dub-a-dub, club-a-club-a-love-a-love

Basslines and ass anything fast
Humpin' on my leg
Yo, I'm the fuckin' best
Making your money last
Hide it in the back
Sound of a bomb blast throw it in the bag

Basslines and cars anything fast
Know who I am, run this fuckin' club
Speaker speakin' sub
Throwin' fire like a mob
Flash, bang, thunder
demolition job

M-I-A, You know who I am (x2)

CHORUS

I can nail a sound and that shit will make you jump
I can smash a beat so that track will make you run
I'm tooled up to the tee, I tie up just for fun
Get ready for the steady of stream weights by the ton

Time after time
You been mine
Like can I have a good time at yours tonight
'Cause every time
We try to get close
There is always something that I'm thinking about

(You want me)
XXXO

You want me be
Somebody who I'm really not
You want me be
Somebody who I'm really not
You want me be
Somebody who I'm really not
You want me be
Somebody who I'm really not

A knock at the door
And then we hit the floor
And all I know is you leave me wanting more
I don't let it show
But I think you know
'Cause you tweeting me like Tweety Bird on your iPhone

(You want me)
XXXO
XXXO
(You want me)

Somebody who I'm really not
You want me be
Somebody who I'm really not
You want me be
Somebody who I'm really not

Down the drain, down the drain, down the drain,
down down down down down, make it drop down the drain.

"We squeeze, we sniff, we cut it up, to give you the ultimate..."

Oh, it's M.I.A., Oh, woah. It's M.I.A., woah. It's M.I.A, woah.
Rock it, just rock it rock it two for the stage, two the bars, woah.

Johnny keep walking, Jack does too much coke,
Jim Beam and Jameson They just give me jokes,
When I see Perno I say oh hell no,
Kahlua's a turnoff, I tell him to Smirnoff,
Captin Morgan a shake with sparks
when we hang out he shoots arrows through my heart,
Blue Tattoo chillin' up in Malibu,
he got 99 Bananas, but he's not my boo.

I got sticky-sticky-icky-icky weed,
I've got a shot of tequila in me.
I got sticky-sticky-icky-icky weed,
I've got a shot of tequila in me.

When I met Segram he sent Chivas down my spine,
got me on the dancefloor and we started to wine,
His ex Sambuca, she just a hookah,
I put it on the chilla,
but I want to Quil A

[?]I got you off your fucker-face,
I tell you what you do, you want your mother, you something-or-another,
I got you off your fucking face, you're half turned to another place,
Your brother, you fucking nutter.[/?]


I got sticky-sticky-icky-icky weed,
I've got a shot of tequila in me.(x10)

Whatchu say, eh? Eh eh? (chant)

They told me this is a free country,
But now it feels like a chicken factory.
I feel cooped up, I wanna bust free,
Got nothin' to lose if you get me.

Like a Taliban trucker eatin' boiled-up yucca,
Get my eyes done like I'm in a black burka,
Been through shit, yeah it's a fucka',
But now I make tunes, say shuck-a-lucka-lucka.

Shuck-a-lucka-la,
Shuck-a-lucka-lee,
Shuck-a-lucka-lucka-lucka-lucky, lucky me.

If you check me, I check you.
If they kick you, then I'll back you.
Say something new, say something cool,
Give you my time, but I ain't no fool.

Eck-a-eck-a I, break-a-break-a jaw,
Every-every time someone steps on my toe.

I fight the ones that fight me.
I really love a lot, I really love a lot.
I really love a lot, I really love a lot.
But, I fight the ones that fight me.
But, I fight the ones that fight me.
I fight the ones that fight me.
But, I fight--
But, I fight--
But, I fight--
But, I fight the ones that fight me.

Who's in town
Them dun' like me, me dun like them.
Like Hu Jintao
Instead of them I got a new-found gem.
Someone I can love up like men.[?]
Like a bomber needs to love up Dzhen.

Like a hand-me-down sucker throwin' bombs at a Mecca,
Call the good world, get money to get better.
Keep your head down like a Unicef worker,
If you get hit you can't question the fucker.

How-come-how-come I yibber-yibber-why,
Fi to the f, f to the i.
If you met me, then you'd get me,
But if you get me, well you get a fee.
Shit's meant to be free, where's Bob Marley?
'Cause I won't turn my cheek like I'm Gandhi.

I fight the ones that fight me.
I fight the ones that fight me.
I really love a lot, I really love a lot.
I really love a lot, I really love a lot.
But, I fight the ones that fight me.
But, I fight the ones that fight me.
I fight the ones that fight me.
But, I fight--
But, I fight--
But, I fight--
But, I fight the ones that fight me.

I licked envelopes, wrote a letter to the Pope
He never gave me rope in the times I couldn't cope
He never gave me rope in the times I couldn't cope

They cleaned up the dope and censored my scope
The writing on the walls been beaten to a pulp
The writing on the walls been beaten to a pulp

All I ever wanted was my story to be told
All I ever wanted was my story to be told

I never got struck by someone in my core
I never took back that joint I rolled
What happens now to that truth I told?
Do they all roll over and die in the cold?

All I ever wanted was my story to be told
All I ever wanted was my story to be told

A skateboard rolled, a lightning bolt
It's droppin' on 'em but it ain't their fault
It's droppin' on 'em but it ain't their fault
And maybe I am floored but it needs to be told

All I ever wanted was my story to be told
All I, all I ever wanted was my story to be told

When everybody leaves you lonely, times are west and sad
and the world is pulling on your hair.
Just remember that for all you know, good or bad come morning,
you're gonna live tomorrow, if you don't die today.

It takes a muscle to fall in love
It takes a muscle to fall in love, yeah-eah-eah
It takes a muscle to fall in love
It takes a muscle to fall in love


Now the fear got in me, it's gotten me deep,
that's where it's gonna stay and never leave.
Someone come lay my worry, someone come kill my pain,
someone come and put me on my feet again.

It takes a muscle to fall in love
It takes a muscle to fall in love, yeah-eah-eah
It takes a muscle to fall in love
It takes a muscle to fall in love

We gotta love one another, that's what the good man say,
but I got too much trouble going round my head.
Someone come and pick up my love, take it all away
'cause I could break down tomorrow if I don't die today.

It takes a muscle to fall in love
It takes a muscle to fall in love, yeah-eah-eah
It takes a muscle to fall in love
It takes a muscle to fall in love

Ey.
Ey.
Ey.
Ey.
(Woah-oah-ah-oh, ey.)

I'm here to paint what is written on your face
'Cuz these are the days we're loosing our ways
To find better ways to say what nobody says

'Cuz we're livin' on the edge and my motorcycle's speeding

Whooo!

Yeah men made powers
Stood like a tower higher and higher hello
And the higher you go you feel lower, oh
I was close to the end staying undercover
Staying undercover
With a nose to the ground I found my sound

Got myself an interview tomorrow
I got myself a jacket for a dollar
And my nails are chipped but ???
And the car doesn't work so I'm stuck here
Yeah I don't wanna live for tomorrow
I push my life today
I throw this in your face when I see ya

Cause I got something to say

I was born free (born free)

You could try to find ways to be happier
You might end up somewhere in Ethiopia

You ain't never gonna find utopia

And tell 'em!

Born free (born free)

(bo-bo-born free ....)

I just give a damn

Who says all the rules are made with rulers?
We break em and break in their computers
I ain't buying no more from them looters
Who try to outschool us
So we jump on our scooters
I hope you understood us

I just give a damn

Hocus pocus, but you can't take away our focus
We're growing up in middle of the digital ruckus
You can say fuck us, I ain't putting on the stoppers
We could be hackers making it like Lakers
While we become workers you become golfers
The modern day coppers beating on us for the papers

I just give a damn

Tell me why
Things change but it feels the same

If life is such a game
How come people all act the same?

I been coming up for a while on your radar
I know I made it just by counting up my hater
I got a speed boat, get away, like later
You better have a load of cheddar if you aint got data

Cos you can live it up, pull it up, start reeling
Start throwing hands up like you're mad at the ceiling
You can make a killing but don't forget the feeling
People stealing money and down with double dealing

Tell me why
Things change but it feels the same

If life is such a game
How come people all act the same?

You can take me courthouse
You can take me jail
You can take me anywhere
But you cant get me there

You can ask me where I'm going
And I'll tell you crazy
But when I get to where I'm going
You should come with me

You been staying up, pull me up, start reeling
I'm throwing up my hands like I'm mad at the ceiling

Tell me why
Things change but it feels the same

If life is such a game
How come people all act the same?

I got roof on my head, I got food in my pot
And the old ways are dead with the new ones we got
There's water in my pot and I'm half and half not
And the old kind is broke with the new kind we bought
I drink alcohol, know the words to Wonderwall
I rewrite the code while I do my time on road

Tell me why
Things change but it feels the same
If life is such a game
How come people all act the same

Gravity is my enemy,
It grabs at me like harmony.
The stars are bangin' close to me,
As I'm floatin' in a life odyssey.

My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in space odyssey.
My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in space odyssey.

Like Puzzle Bobble on PC,
It's got color waves following me.
And I still judge it week by week,
And I'm ahead of time, so you'll never lose me.

My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in space odyssey.
My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in space odyssey.

Ohh... Ah, ah ah...

Can I take a minute or two,
To introduce my point of view.
I need to spend some time with you,
There's nothing more new on the news.

My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in space odyssey.
My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in space odyssey.

When I'm on the phone
I get no reception here

Miss, would you be interested in switching onto a month of service providings
to a provider that provides a better service of internet service
providing than your current provider
....uh

I was walking down the street
And the buildboards seemed to stare
And the purses seemed to date
And dated what they did wear

And the buildings on the bankquet
You dresses it so here
When I'm on the phone
Theres no reception here

You don't understand me
You don't know my game
I say "whats the malfunction?"
You say "the internet connection!"


I'm down like my internet connection
I'm down

I crashed again last night
I was on there surfin out of my mind

The system shutted down
They tried to take what found
I'm holdin shit around town
Tryin to hold me down

I'm standing at the station
In need of education
Its the medicated nation
We can't be more patient

You don't understand me
You don't know my game
I say "whats the malfunction?"
You say, "the internet connection!"


I'm down like my internet connection
I'm down

I crashed again last night
I was on there surfin out of my mind

Dude
Something dude
Something dude
Dude something

I'll date you
I'll take you a while
I'll peck him on the lips
I'll take him on my hips
These geeks are just freaks
And I got em on my flip

I'm gettin off the computer
I'm going to do something
Yeah something

I'm down like my internet connection
I'm down
I crashed again last night
I was on there surfin out of my mind

You got the beat
Turn it up
You got to give it to me

Daddy can be rough
That's why I can be tough
Kicks in even when it comes to little bit of love
On the ground to be stuffed
Police put me in cuffs
Ain't a victim, but I am a diamond in the rough

I'm illegal
Above the law

Shirts, top, tees
I'm always in tight jeans
I know Billie Jean
And the Bruce Sprinsteen
I also know Palestine
And where you're hiding
Playing Tekken on the weekend eating mango sleeves

I'm illegal

We be machine
I just stream with my team
I'm from England from reaching new dream
Have you heard my dream
Even Martin Luther's king
So put it down and imma try explain what it means

I'm illegal
Above the law

There's main steam
With the main dreams
But waterfalls start with a little stream
Even Kubrick started with a small scene
Before it became The Shinning
If your coming from the hood
Work on getting Knowledge
If your from the front like you wanna survive
I didn't choose the battles but the battle chose me
When the bullet first hit my cousin Willsie
I been in the game now 5.3
Lil shorty but got shorties after me
I stay humble from the shit I see
Cause I already know there's only one me

I really would like see the star shine
But I keep getting covered up in hard time
A OOOOOOO, I need to let loose
And the water ran dry, and we got no juice
I need a believer

There's more means or more mean
Every Tree started with a little bean
And everything you go through at 17
Will it still count at 70?
If I'm coming from the streets
Then I'm getting money
But my ideas in the bank are worth plenty
I didn't choose the music but the music choose me
The art of hitting your speakers making it bleed
I've been thinking about what effects me
And the will to survive is always in me
Every glass of water grows what I be
And every glass of liquor get me tipsy

I really would like see the star shine
But I keep getting covered up in hard time
A OOOOOOO, I need to let loose
And the water ran dry, and we got no juice
I need a believer

It's about people not money
Light up a parliament, turn a car key
I could be a genius, I could be a cheat
It's a thin line and I'm fucking with it
I didn't choose a struggle but a struggle choose me
So I'm dancing on the rubble permanently
I'm cut from the cloth that you made me
When I'm driving down the alley these cats know me
If it's not cook, then we bring heat
If it's got feet then, it's on NEET
Anything on NEET has got that beat

I really would like see the star shine
But I keep getting covered up in hard time
A OOOOOOO, I need to let loose
And the water ran dry, and we got no juice
I need a believer

What's around me?

Liquid washed down my throat like soap, yeah
I don't wanna think about the shit that's warped
But I don't wanna be deep on this beat
But I can't fucking let go of whats around me

Cap locks are still on when I log off to sleep
My baby stays awake for every dream i try to keep
No matter what they say, I'll carry on thinking this way
I oversee my life and whats happened to me

Liquid washed down my throat like soap, yeah
I don't wanna think about the shit that's warped
But I don't wanna be deep on this beat
And I can't fucking let go of whats around me

Yeah, my left side is my right side
If its vice versa i'm still the same side

Stay until it gets better
I never trust a letter
When it don't write, don't matter
I just got a knew one

I don't wanna get lost on your screen
except when its hit by big sunbeam
I want you to know my thought stream
That's why I'm always trying to stay in my dream
