Born Free Lyrics

Cover art for Born Free lyrics by M.I.A.

"I was close to the end, staying undercover," I'm pretty sure it's "I was close to the ants," Which I think could make just as much sense.. "With my nose to the ground" literally.

Also almost positive that one line is: "and by now i got checked by the meter," as in parking meter.

This song is the best. I think the shocking content of the video distracted a lot of people from the music.
