[Pre-Chorus: M.I.A.]
Stand up (ee, ee, kan, kan, ena, ena)
Light up (ee, ee, kan, kan, ena, ena)
Jump up (ee, ee, kan, kan, ena, ena)
Stand up, light up, jump up, put it up
[Chorus: M.I.A.]
Pop up anywhere that I want to
There's nothing much that I won't do
Here cause the sounds, that they're going through
There's no teamwork that I haven't been through
[Chorus 2: M.I.A.]
Feel this energy when you walk up
Through your energies, so your bed is fucked up
[?] live for the fights nonstop
Got the party swinging like it's a nunchuck
Feel this only fun when you walk up
Through your energies, so your bed is fucked up
[?] live for the fights nonstop
Got the party swinging like it's a nunchuck
[Pre-Chorus: M.I.A.]
Stand up (ee, ee, kan, kan, ena, ena)
Light up (ee, ee, kan, kan, ena, ena)
Jump up (ee, ee, kan, kan, ena, ena)
Stand up, light up, jump up, put it up
[Chorus: M.I.A.]
Pop up anywhere that I want to
There's nothing much that I won't do
Here cause the sounds, that they're going through
There's no too much that I haven't been through
[Chorus 2: M.I.A.]
Feel this energy when you walk up
Through your energies, so your bed is fucked up
[?] live for the fights nonstop
Got the party swinging like it's a nunchuck
Feel this only fun when you walk up
Through your energies, so your bed is fucked up
[?] live for the fights nonstop
Got the party swinging like it's a nunchuck
[Pre-Chorus: M.I.A.]
Stand up (ee, ee, kan, kan, ena, ena)
Light up (ee, ee, kan, kan, ena, ena)
Jump up (ee, ee, kan, kan, ena, ena)
Stand up, light up, jump up, put it up
[Chorus: M.I.A.]
Pop up anywhere that I want to
There's nothing much that I won't do
Here cause the sounds, that they're going through
There's no teamwork that I haven't been through
