MIA Songtext
von BERWYN

I can′t sleep, not these days
No peace, these streets crazy
We pray for the ones who are missing
Yeah, we pray for the ones who are missing (oh, yeah)

Ayy, can't sleep, not these days
Man down, M.I.A
We pray for the ones who are missing
For the ones who are missing

Rum-pum-pum-pum, another one′s son, gone
Now will never stand in the sun
Lord, be my protection and my bulletproof vest
Guide me as this boy becomes a man from the slum

Lord knows I'm grateful for the man I'vе become
Lord knows I′m grateful for thе challenges, yeah
′Cause now we countin' money ′til we damage our funds, yeah
Now we countin' money ′cause it come in abundance


Rum-pum-pum-pum, drummer boy come
Run a boy down and then snitch on his mate, yeah
You gotta be family to eat from this plate, yeah
Where we from ain't safe, no need to relate

Times in life when I wish I had another man′s life
But that's life, fam, let that be another man's life
Let Mummy spend time with the president′s wife
′Cause in this life, even champions die (rest in peace)

Can't sleep, not these days
Man down, M.I.A
We pray for the ones who are missing
For the ones who are missing (oh yeah)

Rum-pum-pum-pum, drummer boy come
Gun a boy down and then leave him for dead
Pour somethin′ straight, kiss goodbye to my G
He's goin′ cunch and I'll probably never see him again

Been a little minute since I visited ends
I don′t wanna see my cousin in that prison again
And I know he's only trappin' ′cause he′s tryna make it happen
But I gotta get it patterned, yeah, I gotta get it patterned


For the bread, gotta get the bread
Do it for my enemies, do it for my friends
Weed in my belly, liquor in my head
See me on the telly like if I'm dead
But still I ain′t dead

Ah-ah, yeah
Oi, ayy
But still I ain't dead
(Pull and, pull and, pull and, pull and)

Can′t sleep, not these days
No peace, these streets crazy
We pray for the ones who are missing
We pray for the ones who are missing

Ayy, can't sleep, not these days
Man down, M.I.A
We pray for the ones who are missing
For the ones who are missing

One by one, my soldiers stand up and fall
Stand up and fall, stand up and
One by one my soldiers stand up and
Stand up, yeah, stand up, yeah
Stand up, yeah, stand up, yeah

One by one my, cry out and cry out and fall
Brothers dem fall
Toy soldiers, don′t, don't, don't, don′t, don′t
Stand up and fall down, yeah
Stand up, yeah, stand up, yeah
Stand up, yeah
