[Verse 1]
Gravity's my enemy
It grabs at me like I'm money
The stars are bangin' close to me
As I'm floatin' in a life odyssey

[Chorus]
My lines are down, you can't call me
As I float around in space odyssey
My lines are down, you can't call me
As I float around in a space odyssey

[Verse 2]
Like Puzzle Bobble on PC
It's got color waves following me
And I still judge it week by week
And I'm 'head of time, so you'll never lose me

[Chorus]
My lines are down, you can't call me
As I float around in a space odyssey
My lines are down, you can't call me
As I float around in a space odyssey

[Bridge/Breakdown]
Ooh, ah, ah ah

[Verse 3]
Can I take a minute or two
To introduce my point of you
I need to spend some time with you
There's nothing more new on the news

[Chorus]
My lines are down, you can't call me
As I float around in a space odyssey
My lines are down, you can't call me
As I float around in a space odyssey

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.
