[Dexta Daps]
I'mma treat you like my best friend
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'mma treat you like my best friend
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Yeah!
[M.I.A.]
There ain't nothing to it
With the friend I keep it cool with
Love it, we been through it
Stick it like glue, now chew it
Bad girls, hands up
Ride or die how we feel it
Pull me closer if you think you can hang
If you can't then 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]
I'mma treat you like my best friend
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'mma need you like your best, best friend
I'mma treat you like my best friend
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(Go be- go be- go be- go best friend, go best friend)
[M.I.A.]
(I'ma squeeze you like your best friend)
(Yeah)
You can be my best friend
You know too much to be a foe
You were there from before
In the days when I had no dough
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 a box of chocolates
We say who packed it, do you feel me?
What you do's none of my business
But I want you to make me a witness
Wanna 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'mma treat you like my best friend
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'mma treat you like your best friend
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You can be my foreign friend, yeah, yeah, you can be my foreign friend
I said: As a refugee? (Oh no)
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 our 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 ain't nothing to it
With the friend I keep it cool with
Fuck it, we been through it
Stick it like glue, now chew it
Bad girls, hands up
Ride or die how we feel it
Pull me closer if you think you can hang
If you can't then 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]
I'mma treat you like my best friend
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'mma need you like your best
(Then I'm gonna, gonna be your best friend)
Best friend
(Then I'm gonna, gonna make that shit trend)
I'mma treat you like your best friend
(Then I'm gonna be living in your ends)
(Because me and you hanging it could be godsent)
I'mma treat you like your best friend
(Yeah go be- go be- go be- go best friend, go best friend)
(Go be- go be- go be- go best friend, go best friend)
You could be my foreign friend yeah yeah
You could be my foreign friend
