@@Tutaaz it is happy and also melancholic. instead of longing for the past, save the extra energy by stepping toward the future. weave a path and accept that you will make new memories and forget old ones.
@@groupie8985 if you were born in 2000, the song came out when you were a kid and it was playing everywhere. it doesn‘t play much anymore, so yeah, it is nostalgic for that reason.
Since everyone is loving this again, just wanted to say for those that dont already know the meaning behind this song, M.I.A made this song to comment on the stereotypes of immigrants (of all kinds, not just “legal” ones) saying the stereotypes, implying that she’s violent (she herself is a refugee) and she just wants to rob people. At least thats what one would think if you just think of the stereotypes and listen to the lyrics, but if you watch the video too, she’s not doing that. She’s working hard at a food truck, making a living for herself. Ironically, completely missing the point, i think she got banned from some government building for this song (i forgot exactly where). Just wanted to bring it up since this (sadly) is still relevant today, if not more so! (Also listen to her other music, she has tons of other great ass music!)
Christian Gauthier no she escaped all that. She doesn’t support them or the government they fight against, just the innocent people caught in the crossfire. Shes a humanitarian and a refugee herself, shes said that she doesn’t support them, even if her father was a part of that organization. I mean considering she fled the conflict and didnt join them or anything should be enough proof, thats what i think at least.
This feel like staring at your ceilling just thinking about your life, How you love it and hate at the same time. You know What you’re about to do is going to be scary, but you’re happy that you’re finally here after all those years. Gosh this song means so much to me Please dont ask how i know 😬
When it says “all I wanna do is”, I hold up finger guns to my head and bang three times, then pretend to stab myself in the neck on the cash part. Help me
lyrics 🥰 I fly like paper, get high like planes If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name If you come around here, I make 'em all day I get one done in a second if you wait I fly like paper, get high like planes If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name If you come around here, I make 'em all day I get one done in a second if you wait Sometimes I think sitting on trains Every stop I get to I'm clocking that game Everyone's a winner, we're making our fame Bona fide hustler making my name Sometimes I think sitting on trains Every stop I get to I'm clocking that game Everyone's a winner, we're making our fame Bona fide hustler making my name All I wanna do is- And a- And take your money All I wanna do is- And a- And take your money All I wanna do is- And a- And take your money All I wanna do is- And a- And take your money Pirate skulls and bones Sticks and stones and weed and bongs Running when we hit 'em Lethal poison for the system Pirate skulls and bones Sticks and stones and weed and bombs Running when we hit 'em Lethal poison for the system No one on the corner has swagger like us Hit me on my burner prepaid wireless We pack and deliver like UPS trucks Already going hell, just pumping that gas No one on the corner has swagger like us Hit me on my burner prepaid wireless We pack and deliver like UPS trucks Already going hell, just pumping that gas All I wanna do is- And a- And take your money All I wanna do is- And a- And take your money All I wanna do is- And a- And take your money All I wanna do is- And a- And take your money M.I.A.

This always hits different, when me, my brother and mam used to go to London together to see my grandparents this would always come on the radio at some point. The memories were so good 💟

This came out in 2007. I remember having this loaded up on my Zune mp3 when that became a thing and I used to skateboard with this playing. That was a long time ago...
When Social Media was born, this song was ready to hit the Streams i.e RU-vid. Innocent and pure Now Social Media is a drunk bastard with no life who whines, cries and will take your soul if you succumb to its hypnosis
*Makes song hit totally different by slowing, reverb, and amongst other edits* Literally nobody: ... People in the comments: This kinda hits different ngl 😔☁💖
