About This Track

'Like This' by M.I.A. is an electronic track from the album 'Matangi', released in 2013.

Elsewhere, the singer addresses people who come looking for something they have, while lines about keys, secrets, and choosing locks, doors, and clubs underline a mix of control and guarded access.

Lyrics

Like This

[Chorus]

I could give it to you like this

Give it to you like that

Give it to you like this

Give it to you like that

[Verse 1]

People, they come for

Want a piece of what I got

Got the key in my coat

Got a secret, you want more?

Pick a home, pick a door, pick a lock

Pick a club, pick a fold, pick a show

Pick a hair, pick a coat, pick a car

Pick a fuck

[Pre-Chorus]

Watch me go in, watch me go in

Watch me go in, watch me go in

[Chorus]

I could give it to you like this

Give it to you like that

Give it to you like this

Give it to you like that

I could give it to you like this

Give it to you like that

Give it to you like this

Give it to you like that

[Verse 2]

They all know how I go

When they see me, they want more

What you see is what you get though

We're hitting that smoke from the hydro

What you see is what you get though

How we do it is same as the next bro

In a war where we put up where we get though

How we do it is the same as the next bro

Pick a home, pick a lock, pick a door

Pick a club, pick a flow, pick a show

Pick a hood, pick a curb, pick a car

[Pre-Chorus]

Watch me go in, watch me go in

Watch me go in, watch me go in

[Chorus]

I could give it to you like this

Give it to you like that

Give it to you like this

Give it to you like that

[Bridge]

I got the key, I got the secret

I got the key, I got the secret

I got the secret, I got the secret

Secret, secret, secret, yea se-se-se-se

[Pre-Chorus]

Watch me go in, watch me go in

Watch me go in, watch me go in

[Chorus]

I could give it to you like this

Give it to you like that

Give it to you like this

Give it to you like that

I could give it to you like this

Give it to you like that

Give it to you like this

Give it to you like that
