MIA is a very cool artist with a new sound, and politically charged lyrics. She’s all that, and she makes some very fun and dance friendly music (although it could not be called ‘dance’ at all!). You might have heard her single “Bucky Done Gun,” which is great. But, her song “10 dollar” is one that my friends and I always sing together, and have even created a hand clap for (I know, we’re crazy). Here’s the lyrics to this song:CHINA GIRL WAS A LITTLE GIRL
FROM A TOWN
THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
LOLITA WAS A MAN-EATER
CLOCKED HIM LIKE A TAXI METER
FUCK GOLD, SHE WAS A PLATINUM DIGGER
SHAKIN-ASS MAKING MOVES ON A MOVER
VISA, THEN A PLANE RIDE TO YA
PEACE OUT. SHE'LL KILL YOU LIKE UMA
SHE SKIPPED AWAY TO THE SHOP
SHE FOUND SHE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH
SHE CLOCKED HIM LOOKING RIGHT AT HER
AND SUCKED ON A LOLLIPOP.
SHE SKIPPED AWAY TO THE SHOP
SHE FOUND SHE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH
SHE CLOCKED HIM LOOKING RIGHT AT HER
AND SUCKED ON A LOLLIPOP.
CHINA GIRL GREW UP TO BE A BIG GIRL
HAD HER SIGHTS SET ON A BIGGER WORLD
DIAL-A-BRIDE FROM SRI LANKA
FOUND HERSELF A YORKSHIRE BANKER
NEED A VISA? GOT WTH A GEEZER
NEED SOME MONEY?
PAID HIM WITH HER KNEES UP
YEAR LATER, STARTED TO EASE UP
GOT HER OWN WAY, SHOUTED OUT 'SEE YA'
SHE SKIPPED AWAY TO THE SHOP
SHE FOUND SHE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH
SHE CLOCKED HIM LOOKING RIGHT AT HER
AND SUCKED ON A LOLLIPOP.
SHE SKIPPED AWAY TO THE SHOP
SHE FOUND SHE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH
SHE CLOCKED HIM LOOKING RIGHT AT HER
AND SUCKED ON A LOLLIPOP.
YEA, WHAT CAN I GET FOR 10 DOLLAR?
ANYTHING YOU WANT. (8X)
