Internet Connection (Tony Senghore Remix)M.I.A.

[Intro]
I crashed again last night
I was on there surfing out of my mind
I crashed again last night
I was on there surfing out of my mind
I crashed again last night
I was on there surfing out of my mind
I crashed again last night

[Verse 1]
Walking down the street and the billboards seemed to stare
And the posters seemed so dated with what they tell ya to wear
And the buildings on the banquet, your dresses don't sell here
When I'm on the phone, there's no reception here

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't understand me, you don't know my game
I say "What's the malfunction?", you say "Internet connection!"

[Chorus]
Down like my internet connection (down)
Down like my internet connection—down
I'm down like my internet connection
I'm down (down), down like my internet connection

[Buildup]
I'm down, down, down, down, down
Dow-dow-dow-da-da-da-da-dada
Down, down, down, down, down

[Verse 2]
The system shut it down, they tried to take what I found
I'm holding-ho around town, trying to hold me down
The system shut it down, they tried to take what I found
I'm holding-ho around town, trying to hold me down
I'm standing at the station, in need of education
It's the medicated nation, we can't be more patient

[Chorus]
I'm down like my internet connection (down)
Down like my internet connection—down
I'm down like my internet connection
I'm down (down), down like my internet connection

M.I.A.

One of the most musically-diverse and perplexing artists of the 2000s, Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam is arguably the decade’s best representation of Hip-Hop in its truest form and artistry in its broadest, most diverse format. Her lyrics are as political as Public Enemy, her sound is more eclectic than Stankonia-era Outkast, and she is as aesthetically-driven as Kanye West.

The road that M.I.A. was forced to travel to international stardom was not an easy one. Born on July 18th, 1975 in Hounslow, West London to Sri-Lankan Tamil immigrants, she moved to her parents' homeland when she was only six months old. However, it was the Sri Lankan Civil War which came to shape her childhood. During her formative years, she witnessed many her father was hunted as an enemy of the state, her schools were bombarded, and her impoverished family was constantly in hiding. In 1986, her family moved back to London to find stability and a sense of relative peace.

In England, she discovered her artistic talents and completed several years of secondary education in fine art – eventually gaining attention as a visual artist, painter, and musician. In the early-2000s, Maya began to seriously explore her musical talents and used the internet and underground radio as the means to build her reputation as a unique and talented firebrand. Amidst her no-nonsense politics, however, critics from around the world heard a talent in the making.
