Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Sometimes I feel sitting on trains
Every stop I get to, I'm clocking that game
Everyone's a winner, we're making the fame
Bona fide hustler making my name
Sometimes I feel sitting on trains
Every stop I get to, I'm clocking that game
Everyone's a winner now we're making the fame
Bona fide hustler making my name
All I wanna do is
And a, and take your money
All I wanna do is
And a, and take your money
All I wanna do is
And a, and take your money
All I wanna do is
And a, and take your money
Pirate skulls and bones
Sticks and stones and weed and bombs
Running when we hit 'em
Lethal poison through their system
Pirate skulls and bones
Sticks and stones and weed and bombs
Running when we hit 'em
Lethal poison through their system
No one on the corner has swagger like us
Hit me on my burner, prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like UPS trucks
Already going hell, just pumping that gas
No one on the corner has swagger like us
Hit me on my burner, prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like UPS trucks
Already going hell, just pumping that gas
All I wanna do is
And a, and take your money
All I wanna do is
And a, and take your money
All I wanna do is
And a, and take your money
All I wanna do is
And a, and take your money
M.I.A., third world democracy
Yeah, I got more records than the KGB
So, uh, no funny business, are you already?
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 a, and take your money
All I wanna do is
And a, and take your money
All I wanna do is
And a, and take your money
All I wanna do is
And a, and take your money
The lyrics to M.I.A. & Loxpox's song "M.I.A" are a representation of her unique identity and her desire to take the world by storm. The first verse describes her ability to move fast and go high with her music. "I fly like paper, get high like planes" is a metaphor for her rise to stardom and how her fame has taken her around the world. The next line, "If you catch me at the border, I got visas in my name", shows how she has had the opportunity to travel and tour around the world, performing to her fans. The third line, "If you come around here, I make 'em all day", speaks to her determination, as she can write music and produce tracks endlessly. Finally, the fourth line of the verse, "I get one down in a second if you wait", refers to how she can create a song so quickly and efficiently.
The second verse talks about how M.I.A. feels like she is always on the move, traveling from one place to another, "Every stop I get to, I'm clocking that game." She sees herself as a winner and is determined to make her mark in the music industry, "Everyone's a winner, we're making the fame, bona fide hustler making my name". The chorus repeats that all M.I.A wants to do is "and a, and take your money", which is a reference to her ambition to make it big in the music industry and earn money through her art. The bridge talks about pirate skulls, sticks and stones, weed and bombs, and refers to the danger and risks that come with her hustle. The final part of the song, where M.I.A. talks about having more records than the KGB, is a testament to her success and how far she has come.
