Born Free - M.I.A.

Lyrics:

Yeah, man made powers

Stood like a tower, higher, higher, hello

And the higher you go, you feel lower, oh

I was close to the end

Staying undercover, staying undercover

With a nose to the ground, I found my sound

Got myself an interview tomorrow

I got myself a jacket for a dollar

And my nails are chipped, but I'm eager

And the car doesn't work, so I'm stuck here

Yeah, I don't wanna live for tomorrow

I push my life today

I throw this in your face when I see ya

I got something to say

I throw this shit in your face when I see ya

'Cause I got something to say

I was born free (born free)

I was born free (born free)

Born free, born free

Born free, born free

You could try to find ways to be happier

You might end up somewhere in Ethiopia

You can think big with your idea

You ain't never gonna find Utopia

Take a bite out of life, make it snappier, yeah

Ordinary gone super trippier

So I check shit 'cause I'm lippier

Oh, split a Czech like Slovakia

Yeah, I don't wanna live for tomorrow

I push my life today

I throw this in your face when I see you

'Cause I got something to say

I throw this shit in your face when I see you

'Cause I got something to say

I was born free (born free)

I was born free (born free)

I was born free (born free)

I was born free (born free)

Born free, born free

Born free, born free, oh, oh

I don't wanna talk 'bout money 'cause I got it

And I don't wanna talk 'bout hoochies 'cause I've been it

And I don't wanna be that fake, but you can do it

And imitators, yeah, speak it

Oh, Lord, whoever you are

Yeah, come out wherever you are

Oh, Lord, whoever you are

Yeah, come out wherever you are (and tell 'em)

I was born free (born free)

I was born free (born free)

I was born free (born free)

I was born free (born free)

Born free, born free

Born free, born free
