M.I.A. · Maya [2010]

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 that like me, men that like them.

Now, who's in town?[?]

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.
