Warriors Lyrics


Om

I tick tick tick I collected my ticks
Top dog even though I didn’t speak no English
Guess I got grit 'cause I suffer for my shit
Guess I came from the sticks and moved to the bricks
You can’t fix this 'cause I’m in the same mix
Guess I’m in the air you can smell me like Vicks
This chicks bringing back this
It’s my last wish
One snare one kick oh look at this

I freak in minds like
Giddy up giddy up giddy up
Come take a ride
Light the city up city up city up
You’ve got me fired up
Sound boy got me back up
I keep my head downbeat it up beat it up beat it up

M.i.a
Warriors in the dance
Warriors in the dance
Gangsters bangers were puttin' 'em in a trance
Put them in a trance

Om

We’re putting em in a trance
Warriors in a dance
W-w-w-warriors in a dance
W-w-w-warriors in a dance
Warriors in a dance
W-w-w-warriors in a dance
W-w-w-warriors in a dance
I tick tick tick I collected my ticks

Top dog even though I didn’t speak no English
Guess I got grit 'cause I suffer for my shit
Guess I came from the sticks and moved to the bricks
You can’t fix this 'cause I’m in the same mix
Guess I’m in the air you can smell me like Vicks
This chicks bringing back this
It’s my last wish
One snare one kick oh look at this

M.I.A.
Warriors in the dance
Warriors in the dance
Gangsters bangers were puttin 'em in a trance
Put them in a trance

Om

We're putting them in a trance

Warriors in the dance
Warriors in the dance

Om

M.I.A. murda middle finger
Fuck 'em other bitches that try to be my ringer
This time I come as singer
Next time ill come as pain
I ain't talking money
But I can make it rain
Bitches try to get me with
Their witches on cocaine
Snitches turn to dust
And I wash em down the drain
Vitamins for your brain
Protein for your weight gain
Warriors in the dance
This is how we train!

  • The Middle Eastern influenced beat for this song was supplied by Hit-Boy. It's one of several tracks that he did for Matangi, though only three made the final tracklisting (the other two were "Boom Skit" and "Sexodus"). The producer is most famous for his work on "Niggas in Paris" by Jay-Z and Kanye West, and Kendrick Lamar's "Backseat Freestyle," but he was enthusiastic about the tracks he produced for M.I.A. "I just did seven songs on her new album," he told CBS. "We just locked in the studio and just vibed and we did seven incredible records."
    He added: "She's just like really creative. She's doing exactly what comes to her. That's why we were able to crank out that many songs."
  • The sample that bookends the track is taken from Spanish dance artist Chimo Bayo's "Así Me Gusta a Mí (X-Ta Sí, X-Ta No)." It is a 1991 tune that was a major hit in Spain, Greece and South America as well as reaching #1 in Japan, Israel and several other countries.
