Got shades, hide my face faded
Hide my shade, days always waste away
Stay MIA
Strangers on my case, dangers in my face
Days I wanna change my name
That's why I stay MIA
MIA
That's why I stay MIA
MIA, MIA

M-I, M-I, M-I-A
M-I, M-I, M-I-A

I can't tell if I'm meant to be here
Pull up at the party, I know nobody here
Talking 'bout who got more money
Who got Gucci or Versace, I don't
That's what you're on, I don't belong around here
Strung around

Got shades, hide my face faded
Hide my shade, days always waste away
Stay MIA
Strangers (strangers) on my case, dangers (dangers) in my face
Days I wanna change my name
That's why I stay MIA
MIA
That's why I stay MIA
MIA, MIA

M-I, M-I, M-I-A
M-I, M-I, M-I-A

All of us here, we ain't got nobody
Bodies on the weekend, week out
You ain't got love for nobody, nobody

Got shades, hide my face faded
Hide my shade, days always waste away
Stay MIA
Strangers (strangers) on my case, dangers (dangers) in my face
Days I wanna change my name
That's why I stay MIA
MIA
That's why I stay MIA
MIA, MIA

M-I, M-I, M-I-A
M-I, M-I, M-I-A
M-I, M-I, M-I-A
M-I, M-I, M-I-A
