[Chorus]
Can you keep a secret
From them other people
If I tell you 'bout wha-gwan?
And would you let me know
If I forget the secret
Took my eye off of the ball?
'Cause bingo, now I'm hitting the six
'Cause bingo, now I'm hitting the six
'Cause bingo, now I'm hitting the six
'Cause bingo, now I'm hitting the six

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I know what's going on
I know how you going on
I got the ra-ra
Go ahead and throw the ball
I don't be runnin' a door
I got my own goal
I stand in one place
And make sure I just hit the ball

[Chorus]
Can you keep a secret
From them other people
If I tell you 'bout wha-gwan?
And would you let me know
If I forget the secret
Took my eye off of the ball?
'Cause bingo, now I'm hitting the six
'Cause bingo, now I'm hitting the six
'Cause bingo, now I'm hitting the six
'Cause bingo, now I'm hitting the six

[Verse 2]
Yeah, you drink too much Rum
You make me wanna run
I make no assumption
Ass will get the hump on
What's the point of talkin' gun?
I done been Brixton bombed
That's why I don't run
For the sake of havin' fun

[Chorus]
Can you keep a secret
From them other people
If I tell you 'bout wha-gwan?
And would you let me know
If I forget the secret
Took my eye off of the ball?
'Cause bingo, now I'm hitting the six
'Cause bingo, now I'm hitting the six
'Cause bingo, now I'm hitting the six
'Cause bingo, now I'm hitting the six

Do you know how this beat is made in fucking Lon-don?

[Chorus]
Can you keep a secret
From them other people
If I tell you 'bout wha-gwan?
And would you let me know
If I forget the secret
Took my eye off of the ball?
'Cause bingo, now I'm hitting the six
'Cause bingo, now I'm hitting the six
'Cause bingo, now I'm hitting the six
'Cause bingo, now I'm hitting the six

[Outro]
Now I'm hitting the six

Now I'm hitting the six
Now I'm hitting the six

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.
