Ola / Foreign Friend Lyrics - M.i.a.

[Verse 1] 

They call me a ruler, trend setter, makin' life feel better 

Breaking order like a leader now follow 

Poppin' a collar, yea hustle a dollar 

You can't touch us like MC Hammer 

Eat my mum's string hoppers, jump in the chopper 

Yea, chop up a mango with salt and pepper 

Holla, holla, holla, true scholar with the nona 

And I'm here to shine the light on the matter 

[Hook] 

At the border I see the patroller cruising past in their car 

Creeping in my socks and slipper 

Mexicans say "hola!" 

At the border I see the patroller cruising past in their car 

Hiding in my Toyota Corolla, everybody say "Y.A.L.A.!"

[Verse 2] 

Baller, a baller, got a friend called Burma 

And he looks at Obama when we burner 

Turtleneck and bomber 

It's a Bamboo Banga 

And you know I'm comin' back with power 

Yea '64 Impala, Hummer or Toyota 

When I drive in I'm a winner 

Whatever I'mma rap got fuel in the burner 

Off the grid, staying off the radar 

[Hook] 

At the border I see the patroller cruising past in their car 

Creeping in my socks and slipper 

Mexicans say "hola!" 

At the border I see the patroller cruising past in their car 

Hiding in my Toyota Corolla, everybody say "Y.A.L.A.!"

[Verse 3] 

Yea, shoot at a shooter, yea shoot a computer 

Pour yourself a shot of teqkilla 

Time for a banger, throw up your middle finger 

I'm a writer competition we gon' murder 

I'm a fighter and a lover like winter and summer 

I ain't really looking for no drama 

[Hook] 

At the border I see the patroller cruising past in their car 

Creeping in my socks and slipper 

Mexicans say "hola!" 

At the border I see the patroller cruising past in their car 

Hiding in my Toyota Corolla, everybody say "Y.A.L.A.!"

[Verse 4] 

Most of the things I do, they banned it 

But I'mma still do it, I'm a bandit 

I'mma still, I'mma still, I'mma still, I'mma still 

But I'mma still do it, I'm a bandit 

Most of the things I do, they banned it 

But I'mma still do it, I'm a bandit 

I'mma still, I'mma still, I'mma still, I'mma still 

But I'mma still do it, I'm a bandit 

Bandit bandit, ba-bandit 

Bandit bandit, ba-bandit 

Part 2: FOREIGN FRIEND 

Get a house, pay rent, your help is God sent 

Better tell somebody, women and men 

Don't be ignorant, when I'm on ten 

Better tell somebody, I'm an immigrant 

When I jump that fence I'm gon' get a Benz 

Then I leave my tent and I gon' be your foreign friend 

I gon' be your foreign friend 

Then I leave my tent and I gon' be your foreign friend 

I'd much rather stay in a hot country 

We come to cold countries cause we have to 

But I like it hot 

When I jump that fence I gon' get a Benz 

Then I leave my tent and I can be a foreign friend
