Paper Planes
AR Rahman & M.I.A. Lyrics

I fly like paper, get high like planes
I whisk through the air seamlessly like paper, soaring as high as planes do.

If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name
If you happen to come across me at my border, you’ll find that visas have been logged under my identity.

If you come around here, I make 'em all day
If you show up around these parts, I’ll make copies of visas all day.

I get one down in a second if you wait
If you’re willing to give me a moment, I can generate a visa in a flash.

Sometimes I think sitting on trains
Every now and then, I spend time pondering on trains.

Every stop I get to, I'm clocking that game
As I make stops along the way, I’m always sizing up the competition.

Everyone's a winner, we're making our fame
Everyone’s achieving, and we’re all quickly making a name for ourselves.

Bona fide hustler making my name
I’m a true hustler, putting in hard work to solidify my identity.

All I wanna do is
All I desire is

And then
To proceed and implement a plan

And take your money
In order to amass wealth from others

Pirate skulls and bones
Imagery related to piracy - skulls and bones

Sticks and stones and weed and bongs
Crafting weapons out of natural materials, including weed and bongs.

Running when we hit 'em
When we confront someone, we quickly move on and run.

Lethal poison for the system
We emit a dangerous venom that harms the overall foundation of society.

No one on the corner has swag like us
We inhabit the area with the greatest level of charisma and finesse.

Hit me on my burner prepaid wireless
Contact me via my burner phone, which I’ve paid for upfront

We pack and deliver like UPS trucks
We efficiently package and transport like a UPS truck.

Already going hard, just pumping that gas
We're already putting in our best effort, pushing ourselves to even greater heights.

Third world democracy
A third world country that embraces the ideals of democracy.

Yeah, I got more records than the K.G.B.
Yes, I have more music albums than the K.G.B., the Soviet Union's intelligence agency.

So, uh, no funny business
There will be no shenanigans or tomfoolery here.

(Are you already high?)
(Are you already stoned?)

Some, some, some, I, some I murder
I actively eliminate some of those that cross me.

Some, I, some I let go
While others I choose to forgive.
