On One Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a thousand ways to track you down
Whatever you said and done
There's a thousand ways to make it count
There is nothing that can touch me now
You can't even break me down
Every time you think of some
It's all ready been did and done
Can I be your best friend?
Can I make it to the end?
Can you give me some of what you went and gave them?
Come on walk with me
You ain't gotta shake it just be with me
You ain't gotta throw your hands in the air
'Cause tonight we ain't acting like we don't care
It's cool (it's cool) it takes two, so I'm gonna still fux with you
It's cool (it's cool) it takes two, so I'm gonna still fux with you
There's a thousand ways to meet you now
There's a thousand ways to track you down
Whatever you said and done
There's a thousand ways to make it count
There is nothing that can touch me now
You can't even break me down
Every time you think of some
It's all ready been did and done
Can I be your best friend?
Can I make it to the end?
Can you give me some of what you went and gave them?
Come walk with me
You ain't gotta shake it just be with me
You ain't gotta throw your hands in the air
'Cause tonight we ain't acting like we don't care
Tryna feel like what that feeling's like
When someone makes you feel alright
We can take the same path tonight
For the ride I got plenty of time
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger
That's how my roads getting longer and longer
My tracks are less traveled here to Uganda
Can we touch base just to discuss agenda
Can I be your best friend?
Can I make it to the end?
Can you give me some of what you went and gave them?
Come walk with me
You ain't gotta shake it just be with me
You ain't gotta throw your hands in the air
'Cause tonight we ain't acting like we don't care
It's cool it takes two, so I'm gonna still fux with you
It's cool it takes two, so I'm gonna still fux with you
Power, power, power, power
Power, power, power, power
Power, power
M.I.A. coming back with power power!
