Lyrics
Pull up the people
Pulling up the people, emphasizing unity or collective action.
Pull up the poor
Highlighting the importance of supporting the less privileged.
Slang tang
Introducing M.I.A.'s distinctive style or approach.
That's the that M.I.A. thang
Reiterating M.I.A.'s unique identity or artistic expression.
I got the bombs to make you blow
Claiming to possess impactful elements or ideas.
I got the beats to make you bang bang bang
Asserting the ability to create powerful musical beats.
Yeah me got God, and me got you
Acknowledging a connection to a higher power and others.
Everyday thinkin' bout how me get through
Reflecting on overcoming challenges in daily life.
Everything I own is on i.o.u.
Admitting to financial struggles or debts.
But I'm here bringing why'all something new
Introducing something innovative or fresh to the audience.
You no like the people
Pointing out the existence of dislike or disagreement among people.
They no like you
Reciprocal dislike leading to potential conflicts.
Then they go set it off with a big boom
Warning about potential explosive reactions to tensions.
Every gun in a battle is a son and daughter too
Highlighting the human cost of conflicts, as every soldier is someone's child.
Why you want to talk about who done who?
Questioning the significance of discussing blame in conflicts.
What you want to talk about?
Prompting a query about the subject of conversation.
Slang tang
Repeating M.I.A.'s unique style or approach.
That's the that M.I.A. thang
Reasserting M.I.A.'s identity and musical style.
I got the bombs to make you blow
Claiming the ability to create explosive impact.
I got th ebeats to make you bang bang bang
Emphasizing the powerful nature of musical beats.
Pull up the people, pull up the poor
Repeating the call to unite people and support the less privileged.
I'm a fighter, fighter god
Identifying as a fighter with a connection to a higher power.
I'm a soldier on that road
Expressing the journey of a soldier or warrior.
I'm a fighter, a nice nice fighter
Reiterating the fighter identity with a positive adjective.
I'm a soldier on that road
Continuing the theme of being a soldier on a challenging path.
Bring me the reaper
Mentioning the symbol of death, possibly alluding to challenges faced.
Bring me a lawyer
Requesting legal assistance in facing challenges.
I'll fight I'll take em on
Expressing a determination to fight and confront challenges.
You treat me like a killer
Rejecting the characterization of being a killer despite challenges.
I ain't never hate ya
Asserting that despite challenges, there is no hatred.
I'm a soldier on that road
Reiterating the identity as a soldier on a difficult path.
I'm a fighter, fighter god
Reaffirming the identity as a fighter with a connection to a higher power.
I'm a soldier on that road
Continuing the theme of being a soldier on a challenging road.
