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
