M.I.A. Y.A.L.A Track 11 On M.I.A.'s fourth studio album 'Matangi
[Intro]
Y.A.L.A
Y.A.L.A
[Hook x2]
Go low, go slow
Run like a polo
Up and down that pole
Like you're goin up a yo-yo
[Interlude]
Yea yea, Y.A.LA
Yea yea, Y.A.L.A
Guns go off when I enter the building
[Bridge x4]
Y.A.L.A
[Verse 1]
I drink some Cointreau
Keep it in my poncho
Light up like Castro
Blow up and get go
Pro when I set, go
Grow like an afro
Play like Ronaldo
Hard like I'm Death Row
Weight in kilo
Light as a pillow
Don't tie my tip-toe
Like I tae-box though
[Pre-Hook]
Come come come
When we come with some some
Yeah a glass of rum
Yea I got me some pom pom
For fun fun fun
Let's get 'em undone
With a hit on the bong
It's been so long since we hung
[Verse 2]
Empty wowo
And I am understood
I get the lolo
Searching for me unfold
Bankin offshore
Got a trip to Singapore
I need to earn like
I'm Julianne Moore
For the oracle
Don't wanna ignore
That's why I say shit
So they can explore
My baby, I am more
My mommy I adore
I tried to stay pure
Can't take it anymore
[Pre-Hook]
Come come come
When we come with some some
Yeah a glass of rum
Yea I got me some pom pom
For fun fun fun
Let's get 'em undone
With a hit on the bong
It's been so long since we hung
[Hook]
[Interlude]
Yea yea, Y.A.LA
Yea yea, Y.A.L.A
Guns go off when I enter the building
[Verse 3]
Y.A.L.A. Y.A.L.A
I'm flying solo
You can take a photo
I'mma keep it wowo
[Pre-Hook]
Come come come
When we come with some some
Yeah a glass of rum
Yea I got me some pom pom
For fun fun fun
Let's get 'em undone
With a hit on the bong
It's been so long since we hung
[Hook]
[Outro]
Y.O.L.O.?
I don't even know anymore
What that even mean though
If you only live once why we keep doing the same shit?
Back home where I come from we keep being born again and again and then again and again
That's why they invented karma
