M.I.A Lyrics
[Intro]
You look lonely, I can fix that
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait, girl, I won't say I'm good
That's a lie, yeah
I'll be down, but I keep it inside, yeah
I feel one hundred miles away when I'm right here, and I'm right here
I'm like, "Wait, girl, did you call me on one of them nights?" Yeah (One of them nights)
Look around, I ain't ready with the hype, yeah (Ready with the hype)
Yeah, how come it so hard to get it right? Yeah (Ayy)
Get it right, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
When everything I do is not enough (It's not enough)
And anytime I wanna go missin'
Yeah, hold me down from the jump
M.I.A, I be M.I.A
I can't stay if it's not my place
M.I.A, I be M.I.A (M.I.A)
Where you at? (M.I.A)
Where you goin'? (M.I.A)
[Verse]
I be doin' laps (Yeah)
I be flippin' like gymnasts
And my heart do more than that
Don't be askin' where I'm at
I'm in the back with them black trucker hats, but never cap (Yeah)
Pose for the 'gram, God, I hate this app (Yeah, I hate it)
I hate it (I hate it)
I'm fadin' (Yeah)
They say I made it and I ain't even famous
OMG, emotions too OD (OD)
Can't even go to sleep (No sleep)
Unless you go with me (With me)
Unless you pick me up, hold me down, everything come back around (Yeah)
I don't wanna roll, unless you rollin' with me outta town (Yeah)
Showed me once in text that it be forty up and forty down
Everytime I go, she say, "I'm prayin' for you," make her proud (Yeah)
No rest, ten milly to the head (To the head)
You know the rest, baby, I been on the edge (On the edge)
Up next, almost ghosted him instead (Danny Phantom)
I'm ice cold, but you always bring a sled (Just like it's Christmas)
[Chorus]
When everything I do is not enough
And anytime I wanna go missin'
Yeah hold me down from the jump (From the jump)
M.I.A, I be M.I.A
I can't stay if it's not my place
M.I.A, I be M.I.A (M.I.A)
Where you at? (M.I.A)
Where you goin'? (M.I.A)
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait, girl, I won't say I'm good
That's a lie, yeah
I'll be down, but I keep it inside, yeah
I feel one hundred miles away when I'm right here, and I'm right here
I'm like, "Wait, girl, did you call me on one of them nights?" Yeah (One of them nights)
Look around, I ain't ready with the hype, yeah (Ready with the hype)
Yeah, how come it so hard to get it right? Yeah (Ayy)
Get it right, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
When everything I do is not enough (It's not enough)
(Wanna go missin')
M.I.A, I be M.I.A
I can't stay if it's not my place
M.I.A, I be M.I.A (M.I.A)
Where you at? (M.I.A)
Where you goin'? (M.I.A)
