M.I.A. Story to Be Told song lyrics

I licked envelopes, wrote a letter to the Pope

He never gave me rope in the times I couldn't cope

He never gave me rope in the times I couldn't cope

They cleaned up the dope and censored my scope

The writing on the walls been beaten to a pulp

The writing on the walls been beaten to a pulp

All I ever wanted was my story to be told

All I ever wanted was my story to be told

I never got struck by someone in my core

I never took back that joint I rolled

What happens now to that truth I told?

Do they all roll over and die in the cold?

All I ever wanted was my story to be told

All I ever wanted was my story to be told

A skateboard rolled, a lightning bolt

It's droppin' on 'em but it ain't their fault

It's droppin' on 'em but it ain't their fault

And maybe I am floored but it needs to be told

All I ever wanted was my story to be told

All I, all I ever wanted was my story to be told
