M.I.A. - Olá / Foreign Friend lyrics
[M.I.A. - Olá / Foreign Friend lyrics]
They call me a ruler, trend setter
Making life feel better
Breaking order like a leader now follow
Popping a collar, yea hustle a dollar
You can't touch us like MC Hammer
Eat my mum's string hoppers
Jump in the chopper
Yea, chop up a mango with salt and pepper
Holla, holla, holla
True scholar with the nona
And I'm here to shine the light on the matter
At the border I see the patroller
Cruising past in their car
Creeping in my socks and slipper
Mexicans say "hola!"
At the border I see the patroller
Cruising past in their car
Hiding in my Toyota Corolla
Everybody say "YALA!"
Nants ingonyama bagithi
Baller, a baller, got a friend called Burma
And he looks at Obama when we burner
Turtleneck and bomber, it's a Bamboo Banga
And you know I'm coming back with power
Yea '64 Impala, Hummer or Toyota
When I drive in I'm a winner
Whatever I'mma rap got fuel in the burner
Off the grid, staying off the radar
At the border I see the patroller
Cruising past in their car
Creeping in my socks and slipper
Mexicans say "hola!"
At the border I see the patroller
Cruising past in their car
Hiding in my Toyota Corolla
Everybody say "YALA!"
Nants ingonyama bagithi
Yeah, shoot at a shooter, yeah
Shoot a computer (bang)
Pour yourself a shot of tequilla
Time for a banger
Throw up your middle finger
I'm a writer competition we gon' murder
I'm a fighter and a lover
Like winter and summer
I ain't really looking for no drama
At the border I see the patroller
Cruising past in their car
Creeping in my socks and slipper
Mexicans say "hola!"
At the border I see the patroller
Cruising past in their car
Hiding in my Toyota Corolla
Everybody say "YALA!"
Nants ingonyama bagithi
Most of the things I do, they banned it
But, I'mma still do it, I'm a bandit
I'mma still, I'mma still, I'mma still
I'mma still
But, I'mma still do it, I'm a bandit
Most of the things I do, they banned it
But, I'mma still do it, I'm a bandit
I'mma still, I'mma still, I'mma still
I'mma still
But, I'mma still do it, I'm a bandit
Bandit, bandit, ban bandit
Ban ban, bandit, ban bandit
Ban ban, bandit, ban bandit
Ban ban, bandit, ban bandit
(Foreign singing)
Get a house pay rent, your help is God-sent
Better tell somebody, women and men
Don't be ignorant, when I'm on ten
Better tell somebody I'm a immigrant
When I jumped out fence, I go and get offense
Then I leave my tent and I
Go'n be your foreign friend
And I go'n, and I go'n, and Iand I go'n-go
And I go'n, and I go'n-go, and I go'n
And Iand I go'n, and Iand I go'n
And I go'n be your foreign friend
And I go'n, and I go'n, and Iand I go'n-go
And I go'n, and I go'n-go, and I go'n
Then I leave my tent and I
Go'n be your foreign friend
I'd much rather stay in a hot country
We come to cold countries 'cause we have to
But, I like it hot
When I jumped out fence, I go and get offense
Then I leave my tent and I
Go'n be your foreign friend
Making life feel better
Breaking order like a leader now follow
Popping a collar, yea hustle a dollar
You can't touch us like MC Hammer
