If you come around here, I make 'em all day
I get one done in a second if you wait

The song samples The Clash's "Straight To Hell". That sample alone could be viewed as a statement of intent. M.I.A. is the very embodiment of the rebellious punk spirit of The Clash. Even though there may be genre & cultural differences, the objective of the music really wasn't that different. The sound of the gun shot and cash register adds potency to the message, and concerning this M.I.A. made the following statement: "You can either apply it on a street level and go, oh, you’re talking about somebody robbing you and saying I’m going to take your money. But, really, it could be a much bigger idea: someone's selling you guns and making money. Selling weapons and the companies that manufacture guns – that's probably the biggest moneymaker in the world."
Who says that the revolution can't have a beat that you can dance to?
