M.I.A. - 20 Dollar Lyrics

Send "20 Dollar" ringtones to your cell

War, war, war
Talking 'bout y'all is such a bore
I'd rather talk about moi
Now do you know the cost of AK's up in Africa?
20 dollars ain't shit to you, but that's how much they are
So they gonna use the shit just to get far
Is gold, diamonds helping ya'?
Don't you like my bandana?
My stains hang low on my shirts like ay-ay-a
Monkey brains and banana
I'll hit you with my antenna
I put soap in my eye, make it red, so I look raw

So I woke up with my holy Qur'an and found out I like Cadillac
So we're shooting till the song is up
Little boys are acting up
And baby mothers are going crazy and the leaders all around cracking up
We go rich, we fry
Price of living in a shanty town just seems very high
But we still like T.I.
But we still look fly
Dancing as we're shooting up and looting just to get by

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head'll collapse when there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

War, war, war
Who made me like this?
Was it me and God in co-production?
My devil's on speed dial every time I take the wrong direction
All I want is one thing and that is what you got
Sometimes I go lose my mind then I feel numb
There's twentyfour hours in a day
I used to spilt it eight, eight, eight
Eight work
Eight sleep
Eight for play
Now I give it all it takes
People on the Internet
A new life for the intellect
People judge me so hard 'cause I don't floss my teeth set
I was born out of dirt
Like I'm porn in a skirt
I was a little girl who made good with all that I blurt
I put people on the map that never seen a map
I show 'em something they ain't never seen and hope they make it back

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head'll collapse when there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head'll collapse when there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
