M.I.A Lyrics

I guess the stereotype true

Niggas can't swim my backyard never had a pool

And I don't think we afforded to

Daddy worked his ass off still couldn't get a pool

Always used to tell me I should focus on 'em books

I really tried but the music got me on a hook

I share my thoughts and emotions in instrumentals

I'm like a certified sculptor it's monumental

I'm painting pictures with no fucking canvas

I aspire to be great not average

We live in hard times but we still manage

Be careful with your words they can do damage

Life ain't easy on this side

They say a grown man should not cry

A lot of tears held in from hurt eyes

I really hope you make it through tough times

The grass ain't greener on this side

The sun don't shine like it used to

I hope I don't lose my mind

The stars don't shine like they used to

I just feel my luck's been M.I.A

The money in my bank is M.I.A

Whole lotta shit going in my head

All I ever think about is the bread

I just feel my luck's been M.I.A

The money in my bank is M.I.A

Whole lotta shit going in my head

All I ever think about is the bread

Isolated in my chamber feel like Goku

Whatever happens next just know that it's a break through

We live inside the matrix so we need to break loose

I'm up against myself that's why I gotta stay true

Heart on my sleeve scars from prior defeats

Ten toes down never on my fucking knees

Don't go to church but I think i really need to preach

Spread love do good focus on your peace

Fuck a rat race I don't want a slice of cheese

I want viarety a true meal for a king

Star sign scorpio so you know I fucking sting

It ain't hard for me to see behind the bullshit

I still hope for better days and better wages

Better education more graduations

You gotta make a name for yourself king

Do your own thing focus on your own dreams

The grass ain't greener on this side

The sun don't shine like it used to

I hope I don't lose my mind

The stars don't shine like they used to

I just feel my luck's been M.I.A

The money in my bank is M.I.A

Whole lotta shit going in my head

All I ever think about is the bread

I just feel my luck's been M.I.A

The money in my bank is M.I.A

Whole lotta shit going in my head

All I ever think about is the bread
