Warriors
M. I. A./Musicfire.in Lyrics

I tick tick tick I collected my ticks
I have been methodically and diligently gathering my achievements and accolades

Top dog even though I didn’t speak no English
I possess a competitive edge despite not being an English speaker

Guess I got grit 'cause I suffer for my shit
I believe that the hardships and struggles I have endured have instilled in me the determination to persevere

Guess I came from the sticks and moved to the bricks
I originally hail from a rural or economically depressed area, but have made my way to a more prosperous urban environment

You can’t fix this 'cause I’m in the same mix
My current circumstances are beyond repair or alteration because I am inextricably tied to them

Guess I’m in the air you can smell me like Vicks
I am omnipresent, and my influence can be felt everywhere

This chicks bringing back this
I am reintroducing or revolutionizing something

It’s my last wish
I am conveying my final desire or request

One snare one kick oh look at this
I am showcasing my musical prowess with a simple yet impressive beat

I freak in minds like
I am capable of bewildering and captivating people with my unique style and perspective

Giddy up giddy up giddy up
I am urging people to get ready for an exciting ride

Light the city up city up city up
I am encouraging people to ignite a fire or passion within themselves and their surroundings

You’ve got me fired up
You have ignited a fervor or excitement within me

Sound boy got me back up
The sound system is providing me with the necessary support and energy

I keep my head downbeat it up beat it up beat it up
I am diligently working and persevering in pursuit of my goals

Warriors in the dance
We are fighters and competitors in the realm of music and dance

Gangsters bangers were puttin' 'em in a trance
The infectious and captivating music is taking hold of the audience, including those who may not typically be interested in this style of music

We’re putting em in a trance
Our music is captivating and entrancing our listeners

M.I.A. murda middle finger
I am demonstrating my rebellious attitude and disregard for traditional norms

Fuck 'em other bitches that try to be my ringer
I am uninterested in and unimpressed by individuals who attempt to imitate or emulate my style

This time I come as singer
I am showcasing my vocal and artistic abilities in this particular composition

Next time ill come as pain
In the future, I may choose to create art that is more intense, challenging, or provocative

I ain't talking money
I am not motivated primarily by financial gain or success

But I can make it rain
I have the power and ability to create abundance or prosperity in my own way

Bitches try to get me with
Some people attempt to deceive, manipulate, or take advantage of me

Their witches on cocaine
They utilize dark, manipulative tactics to try to gain power or control over me

Snitches turn to dust
Those who betray or undermine me will face serious consequences

And I wash em down the drain
Their betrayal or negative influence will be purged and removed from my life

Vitamins for your brain
My music has the potential to nourish and stimulate the mind or intellect

Protein for your weight gain
My music has the potential to fortify or strengthen the body or spirit

This is how we train!
This is the manner in which we prepare, work, and improve ourselves in our musical pursuits
