Come Down
M.I.A. featuring Timbaland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In every nation
Go feel the vibration
That takes me away
Me people stand up
To fight desperation
As we're raising, raising
Hey
I will lift you up
We can stir it up
Feel the love around
When the sun comes down
People give it up
'Cause we're rising up
Like the sun (like the sun)
So hold on
I will lift you up
We can stir it up
Feel the love around
When the sun comes down
People give it up
'Cause we're rising up
Like the sun
So hold on
Right
Come share my dream
No facing, no fighting
Me love like deep shining
All that it way
Hey
Me people get off
To join this foundation
As we're raising, raising
Until the break of day
I will lift you up
We can stir it up
Feel the love around
When the sun comes down
People give it up
'Cause we're rising up
Like the sun
So hold on
I will lift you up
We can stir it up
Feel the love around
When the sun comes down
People give it up
'Cause we're rising up
Like the sun
So hold on
Come on down
And share all your dreams
The time has come
To gather the rainbow colors
Open up your heart you will see we can
Hold on, hold on
The road is clear
So gather all your friends around and
Take them one by one by the hand
To a peaceful, lovely place
Hold on
I will lift you up
We can stir it up
Feel the love around
When the sun comes down
People give it up
'Cause we're rising up
Like the sun
So hold on
I will lift you up
We can stir it up
Feel the love around
When the sun comes down
People give it up
'Cause we're rising up
Like the sun
So hold on

Check my coat in and I paid the dollar,
Sidekick rings, "what's up? holla!"
Text the address, I'll see you later
Baby come down
Come down, come down, come down
run down, run down, run down
Run, make a run, make a run, make a run, make a run, make a run down
A dun da da dun da da dun da da dun da da dun dun
Beat goes on
A dun da da dun da da dun da da dun da da dun dun
Beat goes on
In a faraway land we got shit made
Ray-Ban shades, warheads laid
Babies born in air raids
My girls run the Everglades
Indian tribesmen gamble spades
Indian chicks, they get men laid
Milk and honey, smoke high-grade
Gold and diamond, gems and jade
Ride up on our tanks, invade
Blow up thing to save our nam
Mina, Rina, Tina, Sabrina
Being a super Indian babe
We black market, we black made
We hit shit out when it rains
Would you come down and catch my train?
Would you run down and play this game?
Check my coat in and I paid the dollar,
Sidekick rings, "what's up? holla!"
Text the address, I'll see you later
Baby come down
Come down, come down, come down
run down, run down, run down
Run, make a run, make a run, make a run, make a run, make a run down
A dun da da dun da da dun da da dun da da dun dun
Beat goes on
A dun da da dun da da dun da da dun da da dun dun
Beat goes on

Baby girl
You and me, need to go to your teepee
The moon is full, and I'm shining.
Baby, I know you see me.
Put a hump or two on your back
Jst like that
Oh girl you're on fire.
I don't wanna be in love with you
Imma just break you off and say goodbye
The night is young
Don't make me wait,
You just might miss your chance.
I'm gon' tell you the truth
Timbaland, I'm the motherfuckin' man.
Today's the day, girl, let me get that
Don't get mad
In fact, let me hit that
I've been overkilling them, I break backs
Come down, run down
Girl, where your place at?
[M.I.A.:]
Check my coat in and I paid the dollar,
