"Foreign Friend" lyrics

"Foreign Friend"
(feat. Dexta Daps)

[Dexta Daps:]
I'm gonna treat ya like my best friend
I'm gonna treat ya like my best friend

[M.I.A.:]
There ain't nothin' to it
With a friend I keep it cool with
Love it, we've been through it
Sticking like glue, now chew it
Bad girls, hands up
Ride or die and we feel it
Pull me closer if you think you can hang
If you can't then screw it

[M.I.A.:]
Gonna be your best friend
Gonna make that shit trend
I'm gonna be your foreign friend
All the way to the end

[Dexta Daps:]
I'ma gonna treat ya like my best friend
I'ma need ya like your best bless dem
I'ma gonna treat ya like my best friend
Go bes-go bes-go best-go best friend
Go best friend
I'ma squeeze you like your best friend

[M.I.A.:]
You can be my best friend
You know to much to be a foe
You were there from before
In the days when I had no doe
Break bread, watch Breaking Bad
Always there when I break up bad
In bed feeling so sad
You were always there as a comrade
I know you think like me
Life ain't easy for the people like we
Say life's like a box of chocolates
We say who packed it do you feel me
What you do is none of my business
But I want you to make me a witness
Want to witness the greatness
'Cause we best friends through health and sickness

Gonna be your best friend
Gonna make that shit trend
I'm gonna be your foreign friend
All the way to the end

[Dexta Daps:]
I'm gonna treat ya like my best friend
I'm gonna treat ya like my best friend

[M.I.A. (Dexta Daps):]
(You can be my foreign friend yea yea)
(You can be my foreign friend)
I said as a refugee, you know
Where we come from, we get out our tent
Then we climb over the fence
We don't wanna cause an offence
Then we get a Benz, flat-screen TV
Then we pay rent
Then we think we made it
Then we be your foreign friend

[M.I.A.:]
Best friend can't condemn
If you good for you I'll bend
Partner defend to the end
All people depend on a friend
There is nothing to it
With a friend I keep it cool with
Fuck it we've been through it
We're sticking like glue now chew it
Bad girls hands up
Ride or die and we feel it
Pull me closer if you think we can hang
If you can't screw it

Gonna be your best friend
Gonna make that shit trend
I'm gonna be your foreign friend
All the way to the end

[Dexta Daps (M.I.A.):]
Gonna be your best friend
Gonna make that shit trend
I'm gonna be your be your foreign friend all the way to the end
I'm gonna treat ya like my best friend
'Cause me need ya like your best, best friend
I'm gonna treat ya like my best friend
Then I'm gonna gonna be your best friend
Then I'm gonna, gonna make that shit trend
Then I'm gonna be living in your ends
'Cause me and you hanging it could be god-sent
(Go best friend)
You could be my foreign friend yeah yeah
You could be my foreign friend
Cum dung yuh ave t cum dung again
