Know It Ain't Right
M.I.A. - www.musicasparabaixar.org Lyrics

Let me take the time to tell you
I want to communicate openly with you.

I already know what's on your mind
I understand your thought process.

I wanna stick around and make you
I want to remain a positive influence in your life.

Understand I didn't commit crime
I want you to recognize that I am not guilty of any wrongdoing.

But you keep on thinking it's in some other chick
You persistently believe that I am involved with someone else.

Makes me feel I'm better off goin' on a trip
Your thoughts make me feel like it would be best for me to distance myself for a while.

You keep on thinking it's in some other bitch
You continue to believe that I am involved with another woman.

That makes me wanna leave and never call up 'til I'm rich
Your thoughts make me want to leave and not contact you until I am wealthy.

I think I wanna get a little active
I want to be more proactive in the situation.

There's more to this than being your captive
I am not content with being constrained by your limited perspective.

New directions might need a little practice
Transitioning to a new approach may require some adjustment.

I can make it a little less destructive
I can help alleviate the negative impact of our current situation.

You putting guards up outside my shop
You are metaphorically protecting your interests in the situation.

Get me with your swat what and it don't it don't stop
You are using force to prevent me from making progress.

What you want come see me
I am offering you a solution.

I got bootleg love for free
I am capable of offering love without strings attached.

I got Abdul in a taxi and he'll drop you down for free
I am connected, and can offer you resources at no cost.

Natsumi and Tsunami they make love like origami
They are skilled and intricate in their romantic endeavors.

They put a flower on the lover, give it good licky lick what
They express affection in a creative and pleasurable way.

Good licky lick, good licky lick
This is a repeated phrase that emphasizes enjoyable or pleasurable experiences.

We know it ain't right but we do it anyway
We understand it is not moral, but we continue to engage in the behavior.

We do it anyway, but we do it anyway
This is a repetition that solidifies the persistence of engaging in morally questionable behavior.
