Gold
M.I.A Lyrics

Show me your gold, do what you're told
M.I.A demands for people to show her their wealth and blindly follow her orders

No time for games, put on your blindfold
There is no room for hesitation, people must trust and obey M.I.A's instructions without question

They wanna know, no I can't say no
M.I.A is unable to disclose sensitive information to others regarding her activities

Go to places others wanna blow
M.I.A travels to places that are under threat of being attacked or destroyed by others

So here we come, people you don't know
M.I.A and her team arrive at a location with unfamiliar faces

Ride the side to the middle of the war
M.I.A and her team navigate through dangerous territory in the midst of a conflict

Gas, pedal, mine makes metal
M.I.A accelerates fast and hard, producing something valuable or of importance

Feel that heat, let me pour, kettle
M.I.A is urging people to feel the intense energy and emotion she is bringing, likening it to hot liquid pouring from a kettle

Roll out like I Skype on bike
M.I.A moves fast and agile, like she's chatting on a video call while riding a bike

(Need a glove, white like Mike)
M.I.A asks for a specific item, a white glove similar to the one famously worn by Michael Jackson

One drop, one shop, we hide like jackal
M.I.A and her team take a secretive approach, moving quietly and strategically like how jackals hunt

Bust that bullet, and we disabled
M.I.A and her team disarm and neutralize any threats or obstacles in their way

GPS, we can enable
M.I.A has access to technology that helps her navigate and gather information

Read about it on your kindle
M.I.A's activities and achievements can be read about on electronic devices, like a Kindle

Rebels will double like a iTunes shuffle
M.I.A is accompanied by rebels who multiply and grow in number, like how songs shuffle and play in random order on iTunes

Muffle the signal on the drone missile
M.I.A interferes with the signal on a drone missile to prevent it from hitting its target

Muzzle ya dogs when I step into the hustle
M.I.A warns people to silence their guard dogs because she is coming to do business and make moves

I'm the queen of the east
M.I.A proclaims herself as the supreme leader of the eastern region she operates in

(Now it's time for you to travel)
M.I.A is directing others to follow her and embark on their own journey

Clap, clap your hands your hands can clap
M.I.A uses a catchy and repetitive chorus to engage her audience and make them enthusiastic

Clap, clap your hands your hands can clap
M.I.A continues to motivate her listeners to get involved and participate

Clap, clap your hands your hands can clap
M.I.A emphasizes the ability and power of her followers to take action and support her cause

Clap, clap your hands your hands can clap
M.I.A repeats the chorus to leave a lasting impression and leave her listeners feeling energized
