Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For the time that he's mine, he get what he needs
Take him shopping, it ain't nothing 'cause I'm rich, rich (rich)
Watch him shine, baguette diamonds, sugar mommy
He call me 'Honey baby', he know I'm the princess
For the time that he's mine, he get what he needs
Take him shopping, it ain't nothing 'cause I'm rich, rich (rich)
P-I-A, M-I-A, I been hiding
Six thousand miles away, chillin' on an island
Phone is stuck on silent, me and him on private
Swimming in this money, he be calling me his 'Highness'

@indirasolis3452
okay quick question. how does this girl not get enough recognition?! I really like her voice and her creativity.
@brookejohnson748
I personally love Pia Mia (I even went to her mini concert when she visited my country), but I can see why she hasn't really blown up. I don't think she's underrated or overrated. She has a beautiful voice which could be showcased in a more complex way (a minimal selection of her older tracks have partly achieved this). But her songs are simple and basic, I don't think she needs to be sampling music. She has the voice and the look, but the writing and producing doesn't seem to be doing her much good.
@fashionbeautyrocks
Agreed, this is kinda boring - especially compared to the original if you're gonna sample a huge song you need to give it something extra...
@anav4844
Please recommend me her older songs which showcase her vocals
@myuuruma4713
