Yeah, you're good
But it's better to go
Yeah, you're good
But it's better to go
It's better to go
Just walk out the door
Just strut out the door
I'm good to go

It's better to go
Just walk out the door
Just strut out the door
I'm good to go

Ride the elephant
Yeah, run with the tiger
Do the shank from Sri Lanka
From here to Jamaica
Imma' hide like a militant
Yeah, swing like orangutan
Yeah, slap it like a weapon
And beat it like a Michael Jackson

Yeah, you're good
But it's better to go (yeah, I'm-a get my roll on)
Yeah, you're good
But it's better to go (I ain't even frontin' eh)
It's better to go
Just walk out the door
Just strut out the door
I'm good to go
It's better to go
Just walk out the door
Just strut out the door
I'm good to go

It's my life, I run it
One strike better win it
Can't try it then bin it
I don't know why you try to run my shit
I got pride in my N.A
But I got it just to see it
I ain't scared just to be it
So why the hell don't you try it?
I'll get you like tango, hit you like Rambo
Hook ya up like [?]
There ain't no sequel to see though
Why the hell would I stand for your shit?

I get you like tango, hit you like Rambo
Hook ya up like [?]
There ain't no sequel to see though
Why the hell would I stand for your shit yo?

Yeah, you're good
But it's better to go (I'mma get my roll on)
Yeah, you're good
But it's better to go (I ain't even frontin')
It's better to go
Just walk out the door
Just strut out the door
I'm good to go
It's better to go
Just walk out the door
Just strut out the door
I'm good to go

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.
