M.I.A. - Believer lyrics

[Verse 1 - M.I.A.] There's main steam With the main dreams But waterfalls start with a little stream Even Kubrick started with a small scene Before it became The Shining If your coming from the hood work on getting knowledge If your from the front then you wanna survive I didn't choose the battles but the battles chose me When the bullet first hit my cousin Willsie I been in the game now 5.3 Lil shorty but got shorties after me I stay humble cause the sh** I seen Cause I already know there's only one me [Hook - Blaqstarr] I really would like see the star shine But the life getting covered up in hard time Oh, oooh, I need to let loose And the water ran dry, fill it up with juice Oh, they need a believer [Verse 2 - M.I.A.] There's no means and there's more me Every tree started with a little bean Everything you go through at 17 Will it still count at 70? If I'm coming from the streets then I'm getting money But my deeds in the bank are worth plenty I didn't choose the music but the music chose me The art of hitting your speakers making it bleed I've been thinking about what effects me And the will to survive is always in me Every gla** of water grows what I be And every gla** of liquor gets me tipsy [Hook - Blaqstarr] I really would like see the star shine But the life getting covered up in hard time Oh, oooh, I need to let loose And the water ran dry, fill it up with juice Oh, they need a believer [Verse 3 - M.I.A.] It's about people, not money Light up parliament, turn a car key I could be a genius, you could be a cheat It's a thin line, I'm f**ing with it I didn't choose the struggle but the struggle chose me I'm bouncing on the rubble permanently I'm cut from the cloth that you made me Driving down the alley these cats know me If it's not cool, then we bring heat If there's no heat then it's discreet If it's got your feet then, it's on NEET Anything on NEET has got that beat [Hook - Blaqstarr] I really would like see the star shine But the life getting covered up in hard time Oh, oooh, I need to let loose And the water ran dry, fill it up with juice Oh, they need a believer
