[Hook: Dexta Daps]

I'm gonna treat ya like my best friend

I'm gonna treat ya like my best friend


[Verse 1: M.I.A.]

There ain't nothin' to it

With a friend I keep it cool with

Love it, we've been through it

Sticking like glue, now chew it

Bad girls, hands up

Ride or die and we feel it

Pull me closer if you think you can hang

If you can't then screw it


[Pre-Chorus: M.I.A.]

Gonna be your best friend

Gonna make that shit trend

I'm gonna be your foreign friend

All the way to the end


[Hook : Dexta Daps]

I'ma gonna treat ya like my best friend

I'ma need ya like your best bless dem

I'ma gonna treat ya like my best friend

Go bes-go bes-go best-go best friend

Go best friend

I'ma squeeze you like your best friend


[Verse 2: M.I.A.]

You can be my best friend

You know to much to be a foe

You were there from before

In the days when I had no doe

Break bread, watch Breaking Bad

Always there when I break up bad

In bed feeling so sad

You were always there as a comrade

I know you think like me

Life ain’t easy for the people like we

Say life’s like a box of chocolates

We say who packed it do you feel me

What you do is none of my business

But I want you to make me a witness

Want to witness the greatness

Cause we best friends through health and sickness


[Pre-Chorus: M.I.A.]

Gonna be your best friend

Gonna make that shit trend

I'm gonna be your foreign friend

All the way to the end


[Hook: Dexta Daps]

I’m gonna treat ya like my best friend

I’m gonna treat ya like my best friend


[Bridge: M.I.A. and Dexta Daps]

(You can be my foreign friend yea yea

You can be my foreign friend)

I said as a refugee, you know

Where we come from, we get out our tent

Then we climb over the fence

We don't wanna cause an offence

Then we get a Benz, flat screen tv, Then we pay rent

Then we think we made it

Then we be your foreign friend


[Verse 3: M.I.A.]

Best friend can’t condemn

If you good for you I’ll bend

Partner defend to the end

All people depend on a friend

There is nothing to it

With a friend I keep it cool with

Fuck it we’ve been through it

We’re sticking like glue now chew it

Bad girls hands up

Ride or die and we feel it

Pull me closer if you think we can hang

If you can’t screw it


[Pre-Chorus: M.I.A.]

Gonna be your best friend

Gonna make that shit trend

I'm gonna be your foreign friend

All the way to the end


[Hook: Dexta Daps and M.I.A.]
