Il y a plus de 3 ans, la chanteuse londonienne Mathangi « Maya » Arulpragasam, plus connue sous le nom M.I.A., faisait un carton avec son titre Paper Planes (mais sorti officiellement en 2007).
Pour rendre hommage à l’artiste, la chorale PopUp a fait une reprise de cette chanson dans le music-hall Motorco de Durham en Caroline du Nord (Etats-Unis).
Les paroles
[x2]
I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make ’em all day
I get one down in a second if you wait[x2]
Sometimes I think sitting on trains
Every stop I get to I’m clocking that game
Everyone’s a winner, we’re making our fame
Bona fide hustler making my name[x4]
All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your money[x2]
Pirate skulls and bones
Sticks and stones and weed and bombs
Running when we hit ’em
Lethal poison for the system[x2]
No one on the corner has swagger like us
Hit me on my Burner prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like UPS trucks
Already going hell just pumping that gas[x4]
All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your moneyM.I.A.
Third world democracy
Yeah, I got more records than the K.G.B.
So, uh, no funny businessSome some some I some I murder
Some I some I let go
Some some some I some I murder
Some I some I let go[x4]
All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your money
