M.I.A.

I don't care what they say

I live my life day by day

Like everything is okay

Guess that's the reason

I prayLight up and blow on this haze

Oh dirty, take me away

Up there where

I wanna stay

So I can be

M-I-AI say 24 hours, 7 days a week

Been grindin' so long,

I can do it in my sleep

You reap what you sow, you sow what you reap

And when you get somethin' good, you hold and you keep it'

Cause when you got somethin', somebody else want it

Shinin' on a hater feel real good, don't it?

Ridin' on a hater sound real hood, don't it?

Before I take a

L, I'll kill my opponent

Last time hard, this time, go harder

Some do it big but the kids do it larger

Down town in the house by the water

Texas, Georgia,

South Beach

FloridaYeah,

I do everything drastic

And I don't settle for nothin' but fantastic

Pop, pop on an

X Y axisMe and my click say lit like matches

I don't care what they say

I live my life day by day

Like everything is okay

Guess that's the reason

I prayLight up and blow on this haze

Oh, dirty, take me away

Up there where

I wanna stay

So I can be

M-I-ASunny and

I ain't talkin' 'bout

MiamiLast year was good but this year

I won a Grammy

Album in the streets but

I'd rather much be

M-I-A, just me and my family

Work all day, double time all night

Show my baby girl that everythang alright

Live like a pimp, that's our hype

Gotta thick chick, 5'9, all tight

Gotta rent chick, yeah,

I like all type

But my down there chick where tha bud all straight

I betchu think

I'm just talkin'

See her for ya self, dime piece walkin'

Speakin' of walkin', you can walk without crawlin' first

You can't stand without fallin' down and

When you down on the ground, stand back up

On the mound and then swang harder

I don't care what they say

I live my life day by day

Like everything is okay

Guess that's the reason

I prayLight up and blow on this haze

Oh, dirty, take me away

Up there where

I wanna stay

So I can be

M-I-AY'all and this is still good music

The world know

I make real good music

Ain't got to but

I'm still gonna prove it

Haters hate me but they still be groovin'

Don't nobody know how long it took me to shine

Don't know body know how long it took me to grind

Sometimes dreams get lost by time

One night damn near lost my mind

Good things happen if you believe it

If you perceive it, you achieve it

This is motivation some of y'all needed

Tryna help you see

So eliminate the negative, insinuate the positive

Work nonstop, gettin' money my prerogative

And yeah,

I try to be cooperative

But when I keep it real, some take it as derogative

I don't care what they say

I live my life day by day

Like everything is okay

Guess that's the reason

I prayLight up and blow on this haze

Oh, dirty, take me away

Up there where

I wanna stay

So I can be

M-I-AAah, so

I can be M-

I-A, aahLa, la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la-la, la la-la-la-la-laa-la
