[Chorus]
I can't sleep, not these days
No peace, these streets crazy
We pray for the ones who are missing
Yeah, we pray for the ones who are missing
Oh, yeah
Ayy
Can't sleep, not these days
Man down, M.I.A
We pray for the ones who are missing
For the ones who are missing

[Verse 1]
Rum-pum-pum-pum, another one's son gone
Now will never stand in the sun
Lord, be my protection and my bulletproof vest
Guide me as this boy becomes a man from the slum
Lord knows I'm grateful for the man I'vе become
Lord knows I'm grateful for thе challenges, yeah
'Cause now we countin' money 'til we damage our funds, yeah
Now we countin' money 'cause it come in abundance
Rum-pum-pum-pum, drummer boy come
Run a boy down and then snitch on his mate, yeah
You gotta be family to eat from this plate, yeah
Where we from ain't safe
No need to relate
Times in life when I wish I had another man's life
But that's life, fam, let that be another man's life
Let Mummy spend time with the president's wife
'Cause in this life, even champions die (Rest in peace)
[Chorus]
Can't sleep, not these days
Man down, M.I.A
We pray for the ones who are missing
For the ones who are missing

[Verse 2]
Rum-pum-pum-pum, drummer boy come
Gun a boy down and then leave him for dead
Pour somethin' straight, kiss goodbye to my G
He's goin' cunch and I'll probably never see him again
Been a little minute since I visited ends
I don't wanna see my cousin in that prison again
And I know he's only trappin' 'cause he's tryna make it happen
But I gotta get it patterned, yeah, I gotta get it patterned
For the bread
Gotta get the bread
Do it for my enemies, do it for my friends
Weed in my belly, liquor in my head
See me on the telly like if I'm dead
But still I ain't dead
Ah-ah, yeah
Oi, ayy
But still I ain't dead

[Chorus]
Can't sleep, not these days
No peace, these streets crazy
We pray for the ones who are missing
We pray for the ones who are missing
Ayy
Can't sleep, not these days
Man down, M.I.A
We pray for the ones who are missing
For the ones who are missing
[Outro]
One by one, my soldiers stand up and fall
Stand up and fall
Stand up and
One by one my soldiers stand up and
Stand up, yeah, stand up, yeah
Stand up, yeah, stand up, yeah
One by one my, cry out and cry out and fall
Brothers dem fall
Toy soldiers, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Stand up and fall down, yeah
Stand up, yeah, stand up, yeah
Stand up, yeah
