M.I.A. Video (MV)

That's why I'm Missing in Action - 'Cause all the time, It's eyes on me
So I gotta get away from these streets
That's why I'm Missing in Action - I can never get an ounce of sleep
Feel like somebody's watching me
That's why I'm Missing in Action! - 'Cause all the time, It's eyes on me
So I gotta get away from these streets
That's why I'm Missing in Action - I can never get an ounce of sleep
Feel like somebody's watching me

Corisol levels risin', barely can sleep at night and
I feel like I lost sight of the Iron Mic
Man everything in life's startin' to spiral down
And I don't know how to get up out
I need to get away to The Bay, it's too many eyes
Tryna occupy the space in my life
Here I'm under a microscope for everything I do, In their eyes
I always seem to lose and be looked at as the bad guy!
I can't take the stress; I swear I'm 'bouta explode all over this bitch
I need to relax, calm my nerves and get my emotions in check
Before I crack a bottle all over these people's heads
I'm mad pissed
Tryna refrain from doin something reckless
Anger's taking over my body like a parasitic weapon
'Bouta strike first, ask questions later
I Decided that you get No Favors, and that's why I'm coolin'

I feel betrayed, tryna walk away, but I'm a slave to the rage
And that's why I'm coolin'
I'm in the public eye
Embarrassed that these dark colors came to light
And that's why I'm coolin'
I feel betrayed, tryna walk away, but I'm a slave to the rage
And that's why I'm coolin'
I'm in the public eye
Embarrassed that these dark colors came to light

That's why I'm Missing in Action - 'Cause all the time, It's eyes on me
So I gotta get away from these streets
That's why I'm Missing in Action - I can never get an ounce of sleep
Feel like somebody's watching me
That's why I'm Missing in Action! - 'Cause all the time, It's eyes on me
So I gotta get away from these streets
That's why I'm Missing in Action - I can never get an ounce of sleep
Feel like somebody's watching me

Ay yo just leave me be, is that too much to ask?
I just wanna be left alone before I go mad
My mental's all over the place and I'm tryna contain
Feelin' like Legion, my mind's split on an astral plane
This bitch caused a rift in my friendslist
Some of my closest homies switched up, never thought it would come to this
I'm feelin' the loneliness in my life
I can't trust anyone so I walk alone in the pale moon light
Depressed all because my chest is heavy
My lovers left me so I'll never get to confess these
Stressful detrimental thoughts that haunt me
Honestly I'ma be lockin' myself in the slaughterhouse for sharpening
My tools, so I can come back ready
In case I need to off ya top
Forget me if you took advantage, understand who ya man is
'Cause I'm comin when you least expect it, and that's why I'm coolin'

I feel betrayed, tryna walk away, but I'm a slave to the rage
And that's why I'm coolin'
I'm in the public eye
Embarrassed that these dark colors came to light
And that's why I'm coolin'
I feel betrayed, tryna walk away, but I'm a slave to the rage
And that's why I'm coolin'
I'm in the public eye
Embarrassed that these dark colors came to light

That's why I'm Missing in Action - 'Cause all the time, It's eyes on me
So I gotta get away from these streets
That's why I'm Missing in Action - I can never get an ounce of sleep
Feel like somebody's watching me
That's why I'm Missing in Action! - 'Cause all the time, It's eyes on me
So I gotta get away from these streets
That's why I'm Missing in Action - I can never get an ounce of sleep
Feel like somebody's watching me
