M.I.A. - Only 1 U Lyrics

Lyrics:

There's only one you, you, you, you
There's only one you, you, you, you
There's only one you, you, you, you
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
Just 'cause the game is up
Didn't mean I didn't win
I got three aces and a king
I begun love of financiable things
That's why my instincts kicks in
Matter if you win
It's based on what you bring
That's the feeling in the chest with the drink
Your telephone rings
But you ain't listenin'
So motherfucker now I'm steppin' in
There's only one you,
There's only one you,
There's only one you,
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
There's only one you,
There's only one you,
There's only one you,
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
Lara Croft is soft
When it comes to my stuff
She's made up. I'm real!
I'm a Lady of Rage, with an afro puff
Who else can say the things they feel?
More jiggy than Will
From a mouth to a chub
There's no bee I cannot kill, kill, kill.
S-s-still chill upon a hill
Like I'm poppin' a pill
There's no other things I want to feel
There's only one you,
There's only one you,
There's only one you,
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
There's trillions of cash
And there's billions of us
And there's millions of things that can happen with this stuff
And there's thousands that will crash
And there's hundreds that will smash
There's only one you and I'mma drink to that
There's only one you,
There's only one you,
There's only one you,
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
There's only one you,
There's only one you,
There's only one you,
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
Come on, let go, let me go take off
Tonight's the one
'Cause tomorrow may never come
Fucking all day
Every night is gonna be mine
Making money is fine
But your life is one of a kind.

Still listening till 2019. I'll probably treasure this album until I die

Your music never die. I swear. #RealMusic #TrueArt

The production on this song is grade A

July 2019 and still listening

West palm beach wait that in the u.s.a ok nvm

We could change the game, but they will kill me . Here . An u can fall in love cus IAM a king

Alot of the time I don't no why your saying I have to re here it an I no your just catching flys to serve u, but IAM a sucker for u Ness

This song reminds me of Björk

Chills every time!

M.I.A. is the real deal

I love your music!!!! Cheers from argentina!! :*

*Only One V*

I wish M.I.A could have became famous way younger than she actually did. And released Matangi as her ninth studio album on December 19 2011 at the age of thirty six my opinion.

Legend 🙌

Sick track

Can i use this on my school project? Non commercial use only. Thank you in advance. :)

yas Mia

"I'm a Lady of Rage with the afro puffs". Nice one MIA. Not many people remember Lady of rage and her song "Afro Puffs"

bring the clutch up to the biting point

The fact is she is an awful lyricist, the backing track & sampling is awesome but the lyrics are amateur, crude, childish and detached, even her attempt at rapping/singing sounds childish and amateur .... Just a pretty karaoke singer and not a very good one at that! ... i dont think any songwriters are worried, laughing hysterically maybe but no concerns, she is simply a terrible terrible songwriter & singer,

this song is literally the definition of obnoxious

I'm here because of the new River Island advert.

Surprised this wasn’t ever in Fifa

Mia u r forever going to b the queen

Here from river island ad😍

The fact that this song reminds us there's only one you, with your own story to tell out of billions in the world

1:30 is when the cool part starts

WTF I HEARD THIS ON AN AD AND I WAS LIKE "THIS SOUNDS LIKE M.I.A" SO I SEARCHED M.I.A DING DING DONG AND THIS CAME UP LMAO

I clicked on sunshowers

war in da mind was crazy 2day

lidaeudiomu

about self love

This song is my shit💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

This song is terrible. How can you people listen to this!

your opinion.

カイデニーズラクヤ Yes...MY opinion!

Thanks to River Island for letting me find this song😂

anyone from the river island ad hahah ??

vicky salganik omg yasss

riverisland bought me here

Anyone else here from the river island tv advert?

omg same

This song gives me life. Literally.

at the end be like "Thousan Wattu Poweru"

her bars and that beat... don't know which one is tripping me out more. so much props to her man. too underrated.

1:32 I love this part

ikr. It's the best part!

One of my fave songs when the album got released.The SS River Island advert brought me back.Beautiful!

Yeah same, great song!

who's here from the river island advert

pretty cool

That inspiration type of song

Detected the same part of the lyric used on Freedun :)

Sounds like They Build the Beat Around the Vocals

M.i.a. & Sophie Need to Collab!!!!! Asap!

HELL YES THAT WOULD BE STRAIGHT FIRE

Yo Deadass

I found the record under the rock section and I was like lol no.

Anyone know what genre she is

World beat-rap-dancehall-electronic-pop-rock.

+Bryan smarties thanks man

2:50...!!! :)

love that part so much

nahaa .. ya just don't know LOL pfffff (.)

@2:27 to the end I could imagine some hot choreography being created to this beat.

Re-falling inlove with this album and listening to tracks I didn't pay attention to. OMG this song here, the beat/production is fucking amazing. MATANGI is my favorite album by MIA. The dude from Major Lazor, Switch, did an amazing job.

Shay Dali all of them are good bro

Normally i listen to hip hop but this is blowing my mind for real it's like i'm on drugs when i listen this album

+David Dimitrov Yeah man - just discovered her music - dammit she's the freshest!

This something called world-dancehall hip-hop.

+David Dimitrov Called psychedelic music, music 4 drugs

Experimental music is just perfection. MIA, Tsuruda, Iglooghost, Bleep Bloop etc.

There’s trillions of cash
And there’s billions of us
And there’s millions of things that can happen with this stuff
And there’s thousands that will crash
And there’s hundreds that will smash
There’s only one you and I'mma drink to that

U SHOULD MAKE A NEW ALBUM LIKE EVERY YEAR I LOVE U xxxxxoooooo

"There’s trillions of cash
 And there’s billions of us
 And there’s millions of things that can happen with this stuff
 And there’s thousands that will crash
 And there’s hundreds that will smash
 There’s only one you and I'mma drink to that"
 

Cheers! I love this girl.

"Lara Croft is soft when it comes 2 my stuff
 She’s made up, I’m real
 I’m a lady of rage, with an afro puff
 Who else can say the things they feel?
 More jiggy than Will
 From a mill to a trill
 There’s no beat I cannot kill
 Still chill up on a hill
 Like I’m poppin’ a pill
 There’s no other things I want to feel"
 

"Just cause the game is up doesn’t mean I didn’t win
 I got three aces and a king
 You might have got love from unnatural things
 That’s why my instincts kicks in
 It doesn't matter if you win it’s based on what you bring
 I still feel it and I chase it with a drink
 Your telephone rings, but you ain’t listenin'
So motherfucker now I’m steppin’ in"

2:27 is literally gave me life

i got three aces and a king

using a Tamil movie tune...lol

karrupu than enaku pidicha colorru.....u could hear it towards the end of the song

@arun mano o yes..thank u..

YES I CAN FEEL THE RAGE. THE POWER.

''making money is fine but your life is one of a kind''.phrase of the year!

Επιτέλους :v

one of the most underrated albums ever

+Bryan smarties *in the U.S.

Mario Labeouf It's awful.

This is partly because of how long it took to produce. No company wanted her and by the time the album was actually released, it felt a little out dated.

real art - so fresh

2:28 this part

kicksin-iniiniinin

This is Wow!

DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING  breaking bad feels

M.I.A. can bring more new ideas in just one song than some artists can bring with an entire album.

Michel Reis Her music is awful. Goes to show they don't make great music like they used to! Her music is just gibberish.

They are obviously running out of ideas.

Wow Shannon, what an astute observation of modern music as a whole. Are you a music journalist because I would pay money to see your exquisite thoughts put to paper.

@Shannon X Pennywise that is if you don't have the mental capacity to analyze it

@Tom Gill Loving the sarcasm there....It's called an opinion, if you don't like it then tough. Go cry to your mummy!

@Moayad Shehadeh Ever heard of an opinion you idiot!? Grow up, how old are you like 2? Act your age for a change, it'll help.

Whoever listens to music like this for a living (Like you) don't have the Mental capacity MOaYad! 👍🏻

M.I.A x Yolandi x Grimes

@SadSkeleton That'd make for a pretty tight girl power action hero cartoon.

love your taste in music

x FKA Twigs

Yes please

Love it

I JUST LOVE IT OMGGG I JUST CAN'T OMG OH MY *DIED*

oops . woop woop woop

More M.I.A. and less Beyoncégagalady

I could see Beyoncé 24/7/365, and I still would never fulfill my life quotient for Beyoncé exposure.

@Zebracorn Zeus
This ^

Tyler Bodish No. Her singing is terrible, she sounds gibberish!

she is a rapper you fucking dumb bitch

Fuckin Dope!!! luv it 

she's the best 

This is future 2050 guys...believe me

you're so right !

This album is fire! One of my favourite songs. Outro is sick yes!

It's all about the outro. Should be the whole song

Omg Dat Outro!!!!! On repeat!!!

The same as a single born. I am a twin and it this comment is sort of annoying..

this was a Trap-A-Holics reference? lol

At the end tamil film song, its a tamil song "Karuppu dhaan ennakku pudicha colour, thousand watts poweruu)" from the film VetriKodikattu (1999)..used it perfectly by mixing it at the end.

DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING

the sounds of this album are amazing

You do realize that question was rhetorical right?

just listened to this album for an entire 8 hour work day...still not sick of it!

Fuckin brilliant!
