M.I.A. - The Turn

I don't read, yeah, I just guess
As the world turns
Don't bother me with your messs

I'm trying to do my best
Get my head up out the stress
When the money turns the world
Your lovin' turns to less

I learn by mistakes
Most of it is yours and
I'm done living life as a criminal
I thought I'd die young just to please the old
Now I teach the young, I'm victorial

I'd rather go on,
Go up and down
Turn myself all around
Then to stay down

I'd rather go on,
Go up and down
Turn myself all around
Then to stay down

The war in me makes a warrior
Like a pitbull gettin' with a terrior
I'm better off in North Korea
Yeah, droppin' from a barrel of a carrier

Coz I got enough to be more
It's hard enough to get more
I shut the door on everything
Just to let my head blow

Coz I got enough to be more
It's hard enough to get more
I shut the door on everything
Just to let my head blow

Then to stay down

I'd rather go on,
Go up and down
Turn myself all around
Then to stay down

Picture this, a dull grey street in the train
Neon signs gonna shine though
Shorty you gonna shine though
Come up on ya treasure trove
Like the sun explode
Check up in the paper
In the mirror for ya horoscope

Walking on a tightrope
Go for something, I don't even know
Where to get it from
Sending out a signal
Smoke from a gun blow
As I knock off knock off
Things that I don't want.

M.I.A. feat. Afrikan Boy - Hussel

We do it cheap hide, our money in a heap
Send it home and make 'em study
Fixing teeth, I got family, a friend in need
A hand to throw the gasoline
A mobile phone hooked up to the scene
Hello, my friend, yes it's me
Don't be scared there's somethin' going on
I'm gettin' money since I grown
Could be dash go out and hussel'em
But I hate money 'coz it makes me numb

Hussel hussel hussel
Grind grind grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?

Hussel hussel hussel
Grind grind grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?

(AFRIKAN BOY)
You think it's tough now,
Come to Africa,
Out there we are grinding like pepper,
You can catch me on the motorway,
Selling sugar water and pepper,
I rep Africa not Miami,
Hustle hustle with m.i.a,
I'm broke I've got indefinite stay,
You can't touch me like leprosy,
I hustle tough from here to Sri Lanka,
My mum told me to be an accountant,
Bun that I wanna work in a corner shop,
Contact Sugu - he's got the contacts, mayne,
I'm illegal I don't pay tax tax,
EMA yes I'm claiming that that,
Police I try to avoid them,
They catch me hustling they say, "deport them"

Hussel hussel hussel
Hussel hussel hussel
Grind grind grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?

"Eh, Afrikan Boy, you know I'm big in Mozambique, eh, eh"

Hello, my friend
Hello, my friend
Hello, my friend
Yes, it's me
Hello, my friend
Hello, my friend
Hello, my friend
Yes, it's me

4 by 3
3 buy 3
Buy 1 song, get 1 free
Maybe me
A bootleg CD, colour TV, or a DVD
We got barrels in the sea
It's big enough to take a whole family
We drum on it
Like, Joon cha cha joonga joon joon cha
Joon cha cha joonga joon joon cha

Come sit by me
Let me tell you we
Don't do bling, but we do white tee
Up some jungle, up some tree
One second, my phone's ringing
It's my friend, Habibi
He then went drop called me
Cheap Moroccan got no credit than me
Ya'll got less credit than me
I keep that tab at a shop like a "G"
'Coz without me there'll be no chocolate Hershey

Hussel hussel hussel
Hussel hussel hussel
Grind grind grind
Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?

M.I.A. - Paper planes

I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border, I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make 'em all day
I get one down in a second if you wait

Sometimes I think sitting on trains
Every stop I get to, I'm clocking that game
Everyone's a winner, we're making our fame
Bonafide hustler making my name

All I wanna do is
And a, and take your money

Pirate skulls and bones
Sticks and stones and weed and bombs
Running when we hit'em
Lethal poison for their system

All I wanna do is
And a, and take your money

No one on the corner has swagger like us
Hit me on my burner, prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like UPS trucks
Already going hell, just pumping that gas

All I wanna do is
And a, and take your money

M.I.A., third world democracy
Yeah, I got more records than the KGB
So, uh, no funny business, are all ready?

Some, some, some I some I murder
Some I some I let go

All I wanna do is
And a, and take your money
