During his rise to notability, Diplo worked with British musician M.I.A., an artist who is credited with helping expose him in his early career. Later, Pentz and fellow M.I.A. producer Switch created a Jamaican dancehall project titled Major Lazer. Since then, Diplo has worked on production and mixtape projects with many other notable pop artists. Pentz's alias, short for Diplodocus, derives from his childhood fascination with dinosaurs.

Mad Decent Radio #1: Baltimore
Diplo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stone cold, when I look up to the sky, baby
I feel freedom, and it's all gold
Like a sun up in the sky
That's the feeling
Slingshot, boomerang, set me free
Slingshot, boomerang, set me free
Wind it up, wind it up, one, two, three
We're dipping in neon lights
We're living this dream tonight
We're riding this wild young life
And we don't have to try, try, try
Try, try, try
Wind it up, wind it up, one, two, three
Wind it up, wind it up, one, two, three
Wind it up, wind it up, wind it up, wind it up
Wind it, wind it, wind it up, one, two, three
Stone cold, when I look up to the sky, baby
I feel freedom, and it's all gold
Like a sun up in the sky
That's the feeling
Slingshot, boomerang, set me free
Wind it up, wind it up, one, two, three
Slingshot, boomerang, set me free
Wind it up, wind it up, one, two, three
Wind it up, wind it up, wind it up, wind it up
Wind it up, wind it up, wind it up, wind it up
Wind it, wind it, wind it, wind it...
Wind it up, one, two, three
(One, two three)
