Pretty much everyone has a theory on what happened to missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, but the best explanation may come from YouTube comments on Pitbull’s 2012 hit “Get It Started.” According to wise people of the internet, the Cuban rapper’s collaboration with Shakira may hold clues to what exactly happened to the missing passenger plane, which has baffled authorities, governments, and everyone who makes Lost jokes since it vanished on March 8.
The lyrics to the song include the lines “Now it’s off to Malaysia” and “Two passports, three cities, two countries, one day.”
According to the Huffington Post UK:
Conspiracy theorists have said that the two passports relate to the stolen Austrian and Italian passports used by two Iranians to board MH370, the three cities refer to the capital cities of Malaysia, China and Vietnam and the two countries are Malaysia and Vietnam. Obviously.
The lyrics “No Ali, No Frasier, but for now off to Malaysia” meanwhile were linked to the “Mr Ali’ the press have been referring to for one of the two Iranian passengers – despite Malaysian authorities having confirmed the 19-year-old is actually called Pouria Nourmohammadi.
Seems legit.
Here are the song’s full lyrics, according to AZLyrics.com. Perhaps more clues can be found in the other verses, and we should clear out Times Square in New York City very soon. Also, has anyone talked to Tom Cruise lately?
“Get It Started”
(feat. Shakira)
To these rappers I apologize, I know it ain’t fair
Only ball I drop, New Year’s Times Square
The world is mine, sixth sense, I see the seventh sense
Now baby, let’s get started for life
Every time I look into your eyes
I feel like I could stare in them for a lifetime
We can get started for life (tonight)
For life (tonight) for life (tonight)
We can get started for life (tonight)
For life (tonight) for life (tonight)
We can get started
[Beat break]
(You know it feels right)
Big news, Pitbull, Tom Cruise, Mumbai
A lit up their December night like the fourth of July, vanilla sky
Thriller in Manila, knocking them out like Pacquiao
No Ali, no Frasier, but for now it’s off to Malaysia
Two passports, three cities, two countries, one day
Now that’s worldwide, if you think it’s a game, let’s play, dale
Every time I look into your eyes
I feel like I could stare in them for a lifetime
We can get started for life (tonight)
For life (tonight) for life (tonight)
We can get started for life (tonight)
For life (tonight) for life (tonight)
We can get started
[Beat break]
(You know it feels right)
I am what they thought I’d never become
I believed and became it
Now I’m here to claim it
I hustle anything you name it, name it
I went from eviction to food stamps
To bagging work, wet & damp
To a passport flooded with stamps
Now it’s Volì everywhere I land
Two passports, three cities, two countries, one day
Now that’s worldwide, if you think it’s a game, let’s play, dale
Cause if it feels right (you know it feels right)
We shouldn’t waste anymore time
Let’s get it started (let’s get it started)
Don’t think about it (let’s get it started)
You know I’m gonna make it alright, alright (let’s go)
Cause if it feels right (you know it feels right)
You know I made up my mind
Let’s get it started (let’s get it started)
Don’t think about it (let’s get it started)
I know that we can make it alright, alright
Every time I look into your eyes
I feel like I could stare in them for a lifetime
We can get started for life (tonight)
For life (tonight) for life (tonight)
We can get started for life (tonight)
For life (tonight) for life (tonight)
We can get started
(Don’t start what you can’t finish)
[Beat break]
