Paper Planes
M.I.A. Lyrics
I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make 'em all day
I get one down in a second if you wait
I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make 'em all day
I get one down in a second if you wait
Every stop I get to, I'm clocking that game
Everyone's a winner, we're making our fame
Bona fide hustler making my name
Sometimes I think sitting on trains
Every stop I get to I'm clocking that game
Everyone's a winner, we're making our fame
Bona fide hustler making my name
All I wanna do is
And then
And take your money
All I wanna do is
And then
And take your money
All I wanna do is
And then
And take your money
All I wanna do is
And then
And take your money
Pirate skulls and bones
Sticks and stones and weed and bongs
Running when we hit 'em
Lethal poison for the system
Pirate skulls and bones
Sticks and stones and weed and bongs
Running when we hit 'em
Lethal poison for the system
No one on the corner has swag like us
Hit me on my burner prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like UPS trucks
Already going hard, just pumping that gas
No one on the corner has swag like us
Hit me on my burner prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like UPS trucks
Already going hard, just pumping that gas
All I wanna do is
And then
And take your money
All I wanna do is
And then
And take your money
All I wanna do is
And then
And take your money
All I wanna do is
And then
And take your money
M.I.A.
Third world democracy
Yeah, I got more records than the K.G.B.
So, uh, no funny business
(Are you already high?)
Some, some, some, I, some I murder
Some, I, some I let go
Some, some, some, I, some I murder
Some, I, some I let go
All I wanna do is
And then
And take your money
All I wanna do is
And then
And take your money
All I wanna do is
And then
And take your money
All I wanna do is
And then
And take your money

Enigma
MIA's music was definitely ahead of its time. This would have broken charts if released today.
Peter Kapica
If this song got released as new, it would have to be politically corrected by the sensitized Idiots because of a couple things. Mentioning the kgb and weed and the gunshots is 3 big ones
ValleyoftheSun
It was a big hit back then though
Matthew Gigliotti
Congrats to MIA for her bravery to speak truth and seek god in such godless times. this song was was ahead of its time.
