Pull Up The People Lyrics
pull up the people
pull up the poor
slang tang
that's the that m.i.a. thang
i got the bombs to make you blow
i got the beats to make you bang bang bang
yeah me got god, and me got you
everyday thinkin bout how me get through
everything i own is on i.o.u.
but i'm here bringing y'all something new
you no like the people
they no like you
then they go set it off with a big boom
every gun in a battle is a son and daughter too
why you wanna talk about who done who?
what you wanna talk about?
slang tang
that's the that m.i.a. thang
i got the bombs to make you blow
i got th ebeats to make you bang bang bang
pull up the people, pull up the poor
i'm a fighter, fighter god
i'm a soldier on that road
i'm a fighter, a nice nice fighter
i'm a soldier on that road
bring me the reaper
bring me a lawyer
i'll fight i'll take em on
you treat me like a killer
i ain't never hate ya
i'm a soldier on that road
i'm a fighter, fighter god
i'm a soldier on that road
i'm a fighter, a nice nice fighter
i'm a soldier on that road
pull up the poor
that's the that m.i.a. thang
i got the bombs to make you blow
i got the beats to make you bang bang bang
everyday thinkin bout how me get through
everything i own is on i.o.u.
but i'm here bringing y'all something new
they no like you
then they go set it off with a big boom
every gun in a battle is a son and daughter too
why you wanna talk about who done who?
what you wanna talk about?
that's the that m.i.a. thang
i got the bombs to make you blow
i got th ebeats to make you bang bang bang
i'm a soldier on that road
i'm a fighter, a nice nice fighter
i'm a soldier on that road
bring me a lawyer
i'll fight i'll take em on
you treat me like a killer
i ain't never hate ya
i'm a soldier on that road
i'm a soldier on that road
i'm a fighter, a nice nice fighter
i'm a soldier on that road

yeah stenyc.
I also think it's about relief through music and she seems to be talking about what effect war has had on her life.
Love it
i think this her best song, it's so political. i love the line "you no like the people. they no like you. then they go set it off with a big boom. every gun in a battle is a son and daughter too." its a purely brilliant reference to the stupidity of war
This is a great song and really powerful. Pull up the people, pull up the poor.. MIA is pretty cool.
i like the perspetie how its from that of a bomber. if politicians wanna end all wars, dey should jus listen to m.ia. cuz she spells everything out in her songs.
