M.I.A.\Diplo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sin tener oportunidad
Victimario de un cazador eres premio para un mortal
Corran, paren, carguen, tiren
Gritos, risas que no fingen
Asesinan sin compasión
Clandestina obsesión
El disparo sacia la said
Hombres que no respetan
Vidas de este planeta
Necia supervivencia
Todo es obras de mentes enfermas
Criadas por alguien que no sabe
Ni supo amar
Tu cuerpo es un trofeo
Tu piel frente a un espejo
Tu vida se descarta
Perdiste en la balanza del odio
Deja que te arranque la piel
Sentirás el daño que haces
Ellos quieren exterminar
Por temor a su ferocidad
Caños firmes buscan presas
El disparo sacia la said
Tu cuerpo es un trofeo
Tu piel frente a un espejo
Tu vida se descarta
Perdiste en la balanza del odio
The lyrics of M.I.A. express a powerful message about violence, control and the loss of human life. The song describes a world where decisions are made for people, where they have no chance to make choices or express themselves. The opening lines seem to be addressed to a victim of violence, suggesting that they are the prize for a hunter and that their life is at risk. There is a sense of desperation and urgency, with commands to run, stop, load and shoot, and a cacophony of screams and laughter that may or may not be genuine.
The lyrics then take on a more philosophical tone, suggesting that the violence and disregard for human life that are being described are the product of a sick mind, created by someone who did not know how to love. The body is seen as a trophy, something to be sacrificed on the altar of hatred and fear, and the skin is a mirror that reflects back the horrors of the world. The message is clear: violence begets violence, and those who seek to dominate and destroy others will ultimately destroy themselves.
Overall, M.I.A. is a powerful and thought-provoking song that raises important questions about the nature of violence and the role of the individual in society.

Lyrics:
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
My chain hits my chest
When I'm banging on the dashboard
My chain hits my chest
When I'm banging on the radio
Get back, get down
Pull me closer if you think you can hang
Hands up, hands tied
Don't go screamin' if I blow you with a bang
Suki suki
I'm comin' in the Cherokee
Gasoline
There's steam on the window screen
Take it, take it
World's bouncin' like a trampoline
When I get to where I'm goin', gonna have you tremblin'
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
My chain hits my chest
When I'm bangin' on the dashboard
My chain hits my chest
When I'm bangin' on the radio
Yeah, back it, back it
Yeah, pull up to the bumper game
Read the signal
Cover me, 'cause I'm changin' lanes
Had a handle on it
My life, I broke it
When I get to where I'm goin', gonna have you sayin' it
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
My chain hits my chest
When I'm bangin' on the dashboard
My chain hits my chest
When I'm bangin' on the radio
chain hits my chest
When I'm bangin' on the dashboard
My chain hits my chest
When I'm bangin'
Get back, get down
Pull me closer if you think you can hang
Hands up, hands tied
Don't go screamin' if I blow you with a bang
Goin' nought to bitch, I'll see four million
Accelerating fast I can do this in a second
Lookin' in the rearview, swaggin' goin' swell
Leavin' boys behind 'cause it's legal just to kill
Shift gear, automatic, damned if I do
Who's gonna stop me when I'm comin' through?
What we got left is just me and you
But if I go to bed, baby, can I take you?
Get back, get down
Pull me closer if you think you can hang
Hands up, hands tied
Don't go screamin' if I blow you with a bang
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Chain hits my chest
When I'm bangin' on the dashboard
My chain hits my chest
When I'm bangin' on the radio
Chain hits my chest
When I'm bangin' on the dashboard
My chain hits my chest
When I'm bangin'

***** they didnt know how to market her partly because of her ethnicity, even one of the white male producers said it in a guardian article
LOOK at the british music industry its ALL black and white...literally there is nothing else, even x factor shows this., look at the UK its diverse
jay sean is a very mainstream style of music he had to go to america, because his RACE "indian" was not taken seriously in the UK, people could not understand why a asian man was doing hip hop beats....
i find it sad that someone who is a minoirity can;t even accept the issues with UK society
even a white french guy who works in fashion told me today how surpised he was the UK will show case white black but never asian on adverts or fashion?
we are all people of color no need to pull the ladder from under you
