Only 1 U
M.I.A. Lyrics

There's only one you-you-you-you
There's only one unique individual like you, and that's the message I want to convey.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
This line just repeats throughout the song and serves as a catchy chorus.

Just 'cause the game is up
The game might be over, but that doesn't mean I lost. I managed to succeed with the cards I was dealt.

Didn't mean I didn't win
Although it might seem like I didn't come out on top, I actually did.

I got three aces and a king-king-king
I had an excellent hand full of winning cards.

I begun love of financiable things
I developed a liking for material possessions and financial success.

That's why my instincts kicks in-in-inin
My intuition tells me that I should pursue wealth and profit as much as possible.

Matter if you win
The outcome is determined by what you bring to the table.

It's based on what you bring
Your success depends on the assets and abilities you possess.

That's the feeling in the chest with the drink
This is the sensation of achievement you feel when you succeed and celebrate with a drink.

Your telephone rings
Someone is trying to reach out to you.

But you ain't listenin'
You're too busy with your own pursuits and are not interested in engaging or listening to others.

So motherfucker now I'm steppin' in-in-in-in
Since you're ignoring others, I'm going to take advantage of that and assert myself.

Lara Croft is soft
Compared to me, Lara Croft is weak and feeble.

When it comes to my stuff
Regarding my possessions and resources.

She's made up, I'm real
Lara Croft is a fictional character, but I am a real person.

I'm a lady of gage, with an afro puff
I am a confident and strong woman with an afro hairstyle.

Who else can say the things they feel?
I am unique in my ability to express myself authentically.

More jiggy than Will
I am cooler and more stylish than Will Smith.

From a mouth to a chub
From speaking to becoming wealthy.

There's no bee I cannot kill-kill-kill
I am capable of overcoming any obstacle or challenge.

S-s-still chill upon a hill
I am calm and collected despite being in a position of power.

Like I'm poppin' a pill
I feel the same euphoria and excitement as someone under the influence of drugs.

There's no other things I want to feel
I am content with how I feel and have nothing else I desire emotionally.

There's trillions of cash
There is an immense amount of wealth in the world.

And there's billions of us
And there are countless people trying to obtain that wealth.

And there's millions of things that can happen with this stuff
There are multiple potential uses and outcomes associated with having money and resources.

And there's thousands that will crash
However, many people will fail in their pursuits for wealth and success.

And there's hundreds that will smash
Some will succeed and achieve their goals dramatically.

There's only one you and I'mma drink to that
Regardless of the outcome, there is only one unique individual like you, and that's worth celebrating with a drink.

Come on, let go, let me go take off
Let me do my thing and embark on my journey.

Tonight's the one
Tonight is the night that I will take action and make progress.

'Cause tomorrow may never come
There's no guarantee that tomorrow will bring the same opportunities and chances as today.

Fucking all day
Working hard and tirelessly all day long.

Every night is gonna be mine
I will make the most out of every night and use it to my advantage.

Making money is fine
Earning money and becoming wealthy is perfectly acceptable and desirable.

But your life is one of a kind
However, your life and your unique self are the most valuable things you have and should always be cherished.
