Lyrics M.I.A. – Macho

I mashed up a coconut outside by the back wall
Shoot my clothes on eating up my mango
Daddy was home, huntin’ up the rubble
Get your mama, quick got the polo

Hook
And now we really rock now, we’re macho
And that’s what we wanted all along
Hanging up like that’s the laws of our ghetto
And now we see that things are not simple

I can’t have videos made by Sony, yo
Screen films of Rocky and Rambo
Role models from Hollywood to jungle
We learned to battle using our heroes
Aviator shades, no winds with the gren-ade
Hittin’ that, uh camouflage and band-aid
Homemade tin weapons that ricochet
When it’s hot, we all make lemonade

Hook

Picked out an idiom and got my uniform
Girl gladiator, step in the stadium
One next to chick now talkin’ rebellion
Cyanide pill hangin’ like medallion
Picked out an idiom and got my uniform
Girl gladiator, step in the stadium
One next to chick now talkin’ rebellion
Cyanide pill hangin’ like medallion
