Our life is hired, hired for awhile - how long can we enjoy our own existence? Here and now - no yesterday and tomorrow, only this moment is worth. Some people live in the past - dissolving in edited memories, some people live in the future - in fact they are laying their life aside. And how can we get free, hiring these priceless moments of our life to the others? What will remain for us? We don't belong to ourself - we are mercenaries, soldiers of fortune in the whirlpool of history... But now the time has come to break all contracts - be desperate and brave, forget your old call-sign and burn your past in flames of new sunrise.
It's END OF LINE.

Hired.Life Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Niggas is mad get about your feelings
Acting all emotional, and they see a nigga like me getting though
I've been getting cheese just let it be,
I told you before I got the recipe
Cooking up high should I smash the beat like I smash the freak
On my polo sheets,
I'm smoking good, feeling great
I fly like paper, get high like planes,
Take 2 to the face then I'm MIA
King Kong and got shit on me,
I'm freshly baked in this ?
I rap and chill from state to state
I'm making moves why these niggas hate,
My money straight work to my safe,
From making change like every day
Smoke and kill I'm getting me,
Counting guap up in the days,
I gotta get mines anyway
I can't fuck
You know what I'm smoking on
Weed the fresh is clothing on
Pimp stroke when I stroll alone
Hustling get my money long,
In the zone high above the strong,
Yeah I write alone and my tooth see the chief and reef us
I'm rolling stone, you could tell from my tongue,
Kush cones got me gone, gone gone
You could tell from my tongue,
Kush cones got me gone, gone gone
Hide above that goodness, wrote the road I spit that good sense
I rapped it, east side, until I die that hood shit
I'm rapping for my section is expected that I do this,
Fuck how you feel, I'ma keep it real
For my niggas and bitches that's ? the feel,
We just tryin to stack up, for the days we didn't have much
I'ma get it from the ground up, on my own I don't need no back up,
Is just me all on this tracks, flex,
I don't need here come my rex up,
I'ma boss nigga, you an actor, seriously you're not a factor
I'm getting mine and them hoes love it,
They at my neck like Dracula
I smoke great than smashing good,
Then send her back to her..
Get fresh than them right back on the clock,
Never catch me
?
You know what I'm smoking on
Weed the fresh is clothing on
Pimp stroke when I stroll alone
Hustling get my money long,
In the zone high above the strong,
Yeah I write alone and my tooth see the chief and reef us
I'm rolling stone, you could tell from my tongue,
Kush cones got me gone, gone gone
You could tell from my tongue,
Kush cones got me gone, gone gone
The lyrics to Hired.Life's song M.I.A. portray the persona of a confident and unapologetic villain who seems to be in control of his life and emotions. The opening line, "I'm a super villain and I love the feeling," sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer speaks openly about his love for smoking weed, getting paid, and having control over his life. The lines "Niggas is mad get about your feelings/Acting all emotional" suggest that the singer is surrounded by people who are easily offended and emotional, and he doesn't have the patience or interest to deal with their sensitivities.
The phrase "King Kong and got shit on me" is a reference to the famous scene in the movie "Training Day" where Denzel Washington's character threatens a group of men by stating that they have nothing on him. The line "I'm freshly baked in this?" is difficult to interpret but might refer to the singer's state of mind after smoking weed. The rest of the song speaks about making money, writing lyrics, and staying true to one's values.
Overall, the song seems to be a celebration of individuality and self-reliance, with the singer portraying himself as an unapologetic and confident outsider who is uninterested in conforming to societal expectations.
