Music Break: M.I.A. Borders
Here are the lyrics. On September 23, 2015 M.I.A. revealed via Twitter “Borders” off her upcoming fifth studio album Matahdatah. The song is a critique of the borders we set up between each other as individuals as well as nations. Shallow mantras of today’s generation (killing it, being bae, being real) are juxtaposed with current political events (police shots, boat people, same-sex marriage), and deeper questions of meaning (family, beliefs and history), as M.I.A. repeatedly asks “What’s up with that?”
