The fourth single from M.I.A.’s second studio album, 'Kala,' 'Paper Planes' reached No.19 in the UK on its release in 2008. It famously featured in Danny Boyle’s 'Slumdog Millionaire' and the trailer for 'Pineapple Express.' Partly inspired by M.I.A.’s frustration at her dealings with American government officials, 'Paper Planes' tells the tale of a passport-counterfeiting tourist-murdering thief.Highlight lyrics you want to quote as your Facebook status then click the ‘Post’ button.

I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make 'em all day
I get one done in a second if you wait
I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make 'em all day
I get one done in a second if you wait
Sometimes I think sittin' on trains
Every stop I get to I'm clocking that game
Everyone's a winner we're making our fame
Bonafide hustler making my name
Sometimes I think sittin' on trains
Every stop I get to I'm clocking that game
Everyone's a winner we're making our fame
Bonafide hustler making my name
