M.I.A

I guess the stereotype true
Niggas can't swim my backyard never had a pool
And I don't think we afforded to
Daddy worked his ass off still couldn't get a pool
Always used to tell me I should focus on 'em books
I really tried but the music got me on a hook
I share my thoughts and emotions in instrumentals
I'm like a certified sculptor it's monumental
I'm painting pictures with no fucking canvas
I aspire to be great not average
We live in hard times but we still manage
Be careful with your words they can do damage
Life ain't easy on this side
They say a grown man should not cry
A lot of tears held in from hurt eyes
I really hope you make it through tough times

The grass ain't greener on this side
The sun don't shine like it used to
I hope I don't lose my mind
The stars don't shine like they used to

I just feel my luck's been M.I.A
The money in my bank is M.I.A
Whole lotta shit going in my head
All I ever think about is the bread
I just feel my luck's been M.I.A
The money in my bank is M.I.A
Whole lotta shit going in my head
All I ever think about is the bread

Isolated in my chamber feel like Goku
Whatever happens next just know that it's a break through
We live inside the matrix so we need to break loose
I'm up against myself that's why I gotta stay true
Heart on my sleeve scars from prior defeats
Ten toes down never on my fucking knees
Don't go to church but I think i really need to preach
Spread love do good focus on your peace
Fuck a rat race I don't want a slice of cheese
I want viarety a true meal for a king
Star sign scorpio so you know I fucking sting
It ain't hard for me to see behind the bullshit
I still hope for better days and better wages
Better education more graduations
You gotta make a name for yourself king
Do your own thing focus on your own dreams

The grass ain't greener on this side
The sun don't shine like it used to
I hope I don't lose my mind
The stars don't shine like they used to

I just feel my luck's been M.I.A
The money in my bank is M.I.A
Whole lotta shit going in my head
All I ever think about is the bread
I just feel my luck's been M.I.A
The money in my bank is M.I.A
Whole lotta shit going in my head
All I ever think about is the bread
