mia ola-foreign friend - m.i.a. lyrics
[part i: ola]
[verse 1]
they call me a ruler, trend setter, making life feel better
breaking order like a leader now follow
popping a collar, yea hustle a dollar
you can’t touch us like mc hammer
eat my mum’s string hoppers, jump in the chopper
yea, chop up a mango with salt and pepper
holla, holla, holla, true scholar with the nona
and i’m here to shine the light on the matter
[hook]
at the border i see the patroller, cruising past in their car
creeping in my socks and slipper, mexicans say “hola!”
at the border i see the patroller, cruising past in their car
hiding in my toyota corolla, everybody say “y.a.l.a.!”
[post-hook]
nants ingonyama bagithi—
[verse 2]
baller, a baller, got a friend called burma
and he looks at obama when we burner
turtleneck and bomber, it’s a bamboo banga
and you know i’m coming back with power
yea ’64 impala, hummer or toyota
when i drive in i’m a winner
whatever i’mma rap got fuel in the burner
off the grid, staying off the radar
[hook]
at the border i see the patroller cruising past in their car
creeping in my socks and slipper, mexicans say “hola!”
at the border i see the patroller cruising past in their car
hiding in my toyota corolla, everybody say “y.a.l.a.!”
[post-hook]
nants ingonyama bagithi—
[verse 3]
yeah, shoot at a shooter, yeah, shoot a computer (bang)
pour yourself a shot of tequilla
time for a banger, throw up your middle finger
i’m a writer competition we gon’ murder
i’m a fighter and a lover like winter and summer
i ain’t really looking for no drama
[hook]
at the border i see the patroller cruising past in their car
creeping in my socks and slipper, mexicans say “hola!”
at the border i see the patroller cruising past in their car
hiding in my toyota corolla, everybody say “y.a.l.a.!”
[post-hook]

[outro]
most of the things i do, they banned it
but i’mma still do it, i’m a bandit
i’mma still, i’mma still, i’mma still, i’mma still
but i’mma still do it, i’m a bandit
most of the things i do, they banned it
but i’mma still do it, i’m a bandit
i’mma still, i’mma still, i’mma still, i’mma still
but i’mma still do it, i’m a bandit
bandit, bandit, ban-bandit
ban-ban, bandit, ban-bandit
ban-ban, bandit, ban-bandit
ban-ban, bandit, ban-bandit

[intro: sample]
(foreign singing)
[verse]
get a house pay rent, your help is god-sent
better tell somebody, women and men
don’t be ignorant, when i’m on ten
better tell somebody i’m a immigrant
when i jumped out fence, i go and get offense
then i leave my tent and i go’n be your foreign friend
[bridge]
and i go’n, and i go’n, and i-and i go’n-go
and i go’n, and i go’n-go, and i go’n
and i-and i go’n, and i-and i go’n
and i go’n be your foreign friend
and i go’n, and i go’n, and i-and i go’n-go
and i go’n, and i go’n-go, and i go’n
then i leave my tent and i go’n be your foreign friend
[interlude]
i’d much rather stay in a hot country
we come to cold countries ’cause we have to
but i like it hot
[outro]
when i jumped out fence, i go and get offense
then i leave my tent and i go’n be your foreign friend
