k t p keep the peace

M.i.a.

I m not fake like them
They re like fake like when?
When I wake up then
I see it fake like them
I m not fake like them
They re like fake like when?
When I wake up then
I see it fake like them

Cut my losses, ball and chain
I don t want no fakes speaking my name
You ain t gang, we ain t the same
Step away, step away, don t play this game

In the street, in the street
I keep the peace all day
You ain t real, don t come this way
In the street, in the street
Won t you keep the peace for me?
You ain t gang, don t come this way

There s levels to the rebels
And I m good with a little trouble
But I m done with you, throwing the pebbles
Better run with the tiger
And you better be a rider
Ain t nothing bout my life is subtle

Cut my losses, ball and chain
I don t want no fakes speaking my name
You ain t gang, we ain t the same
Step away, step away, don t play this game

In the street, in the street
I keep the peace all day
You ain t real, don t come this way
In the street, in the street
Won t you keep the peace for me?
You ain t gang, don t come this way

There s lessons in the struggle
Sometimes I think I love all
You re just going where there is fuck-all
You can meet me in the middle

Set up for a model
That brings us to the brink of this battle
Cause you re fighting in a place that s already won
I m not gonna ask you where you got your gun
You re hiding in a place that s already found
Hope you ll realize this fakeness don t count

In the street, in the street
I keep the peace all day
You ain t real, don t come this way
In the street, in the street
Won t you keep the peace for me?
You ain t gang, don t come this way
No mistake, make no mistake
When you see me, make no mistake
Namasté me, namasté
Can you explain all for us to break?
