Living In Vain

(альбом: M.I.A. The Lost Pages - 2011)

Yeah, oh why, oh, it's my life eh, listen

Got some weight off my back
Got my feet to the ground
Got my eyes straight ahead
Can't nobody stop me now
I've been on this job before
And these folks that I know
They keep straight and I keep my faith
And they keep me on my toes
These haters try to stop me
But you know that they jock me
Soon as I hit the radio
You know they gonn' rock me
Cause I do my thang, I do my thang
I won't live in vain

When you can't hear the right
And you can't see the reasons
Why should the hope remain?
For a man would be tired
Till the soul would grow weary
Living this live in vain
Living this life in vain
Living this live in vain
Living this life in vain
In vain

Yeah, I'm gonna strap on my boots
Won't let my pain from my past
I'm gon' write for my soul
Yeah motherfuckers I'm back
Yeah you cant knock me
Cause you know you're not me
But I won't live my life in vain no cause I'll go insane
These haters try to stop me
But you know that they jock me
Soon as I hit the radio
You know they gon' rock me
Cause I do my thang, I do my thang
I won't live in vain

When you can't hear the right
And you can't see the reasons
Why should the hope remain?
For a man would be tired
Till the soul would grow weary
Living this life in vain
Living this life in vain
Living this life in vain
Living this life in vain
In vain

Can't nobody hold me down
I ain't never been a hoe before
So why these niggas tryna hoe me now?
Click-clack full pounce
I've never been really about that though
Cause I've fly since way before
So yes yes get off my back and let me go and let me grow
Got this bullshit on my brain
Feels like I got a needle in m veins
So try to understand my pain
Living life up in this game
But yes I promise not to never ever ever live my life in vain

When you can't hear the right
And you can't see the reasons
Why should the hope remain?
For a man would be tired
Till the soul would grow weary
Living this life in vain
Living this life in vain
Living this life in vain
Living this life in vain
In vain
