Elevator Lyrics by M.I.A.

0

[Chorus 2x]
Back in the building, took the elevator
We made it to top and the creator
Back on the scene, checking up on the dream
Everybody out here being a human being

[Verse 1]
Tryna get the feels, tryna get the bills
I get you when you hustle gold
Silver spoons, wishes and booze
Dig at me if I pray to God
I'm the bad, I'm the good, I'm the ugly
In society, a variety
If you want tea then I got plenty
Expressing, pressing reality
I got moves, I'm moving all the time
I got moves, I'm moving all the time
I got moves, I'm moving all the time
I got moves, making moves all the time
I just keep it moving
People, are you ready?
I just keep it moving

[Chorus 2x]
Back in the building, took the elevator
We made it to top and the creator
Back on the scene, checking up on the dream
Everybody out here being a human being

[Verse 2]
Freedom of speech, what the schools teach
M.I.A be preaching now, world town reach
Dark skin on beach, I don't use no bleach
Driving in the street, and my BM goes screech
Rendez-vouz in Greece, they wanna get a piece
A modern day [Tolstoy] I give them War & Peace
Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six
Why you gotta fuck with me just to be a bih?
Sita and Bhagwan 50/50 mix
Mystic, gangsta you should take a trip
World Town intelligence, here for justice
If you try to break me, you better practice

[Chorus 2x]
Back in the building, took the elevator
We made it to top and the creator
Back on the scene, checking up on the dream
Everybody out here being a human being
