Who's that girl called Maya?


"20 Dollars"

War, war, war
Talking 'bout you is such a bore
I'd rather talk about moi
Like do you know that cost of A.K.'s up in Africa?
20 dollars ain't shit to you
But that's how much they are
So they gonna use this shit just to get by
Is gold, diamonds helpin' ya?
Don't you like my bandanna?
My stains hang low
On my shirts like a-ya-ya.
Monkey brains and banana
I'll hit you with my antenna
I put soap in my eye
Make it red so I look raa ra ra
So I woke up with my holy Quran
and found out I like Allah- iah
So we shooting till the song is up
Little boys are acting up
And baby, mothers are going crazy.
And the leaders all round cracking up
We goat rich, we fry
Price of living in a shanty town just seems very high
We still like T.I., we still look fly
Dancing as we shooting up and looting just to get by.
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah.
Your head'll collapse when there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
"Where is my mind?"

War, war, war
Who made me like this?
Was it me and God in co-production?
My devil's on speed dial
Everytime I take the wrong direction
All I want is one thing and that is what you got
Sometimes I go lose my mind then I feel numb.
There's 24 hours in a day
I used to spilt it 8, 8, 8
8 work, 8 sleep, 8 for play
Now I give it all it takes
People on the Internet
A new life for the intellect
People judge me so hard
'cause I don't floss my tea set.
I was born out of dirt like I'm porn in a skirt
I was a little girl who made good with all that I blurt
I put people on the map that never seen a map
I show 'em something they ain't ever seen
And hope they make it back.
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah.
Your head'll collapse when there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
"Where is my mind?"


En algunas naciones de este continente (Africa), encontrar o adquirir uno de estos fusiles es tan sencillo como comprar un cajón de cervezas. Y no solo esta similitud se aplica a la facilidad para conseguirlo, sino también al precio. En algunos sitios de África se puede adquirir un Kalashnikov AK-47 por tan solo 20 dólares.
