Believer in M.I.A.

Really would like to see the light shine
Water run down from my eye (light shine)
All day

There's main stream with the main dreams
But waterfalls start with a little stream
Even Kubrick started with a small scene
Before it became The Shining

If your coming from the hood work on getting knowledge
If your from the front line then you wanna survive
I didn't choose the battles but the battles choose me
When the bullet first hit my cousin Willsie
I been in the game now 5.3
Little shorty but got shorties after me
I stay humble cause the shit I see
Cos I already know there's only one me

I really would like to see the stars shine
But I like getting covered up in hard time
I need to let loose
And the water ran dry, and we got no juice
All day, I need a believer

There's more means or more mean
Every tree started with a little bean
Everything you go through at 17
Will it still count at 70?

If I'm coming from the street then I'm getting money
But my ideas in the bank are worth plenty
I didn't choose the music but the music chose me
The art of hitting your speakers making it bleed
I been thinking bout what affects me
The will to survive is always in me
Every glass of water grows, what I be?
And every glass of liquor gets me tipsy

I really would like to see the stars shine
But I like getting covered up in hard time
I need to let loose
And the water ran dry, and we got no juice
All day, I need a believer

It's about people, not money
Light up a parliament, turn a car key
I could be a genius, I could be a cheat
It's a thin line and I'm fucking with it

I didn't choose a struggle but the struggle chose me
I'm dancing on the rubble permanently
I'm cut from the cloth that you made me
When I'm driving down the alley these cats know me
If It's not cool, then we bring heat
If there's no heat then it's discreet
If it's got your feet, then it's on NEET
Anything on NEET has got that beat
