American Boy

By: Estelle feat. Kanye West

This a number one champion sound Yeah, Estelle, we about to get down Who the hottest in the world right now. Just touched down in London town. Bet they give me a pound. Tell them put the money in my hand right now. Tell the promoter we need more seats We just sold out all the floor seats Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day. Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA. I really want to come kick it with you. You'll be my American boy. He said "Hey Sister, it's really, really nice to meet you." I just met this 5 foot 7 guy who's just my type. I like the way he's speaking, his confidence is peaking. Don't like his baggy jeans but I'm a like what's underneath them. And no, I ain't been to MIA I heard that Cali never rains and New Yorks heart awaits. First let's see the west end. I'll show you to my bedroom. I'm liking this American boy, American boy Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA. I really want to come kick it with you. You'll be my American boy, American boy Can we get away this weekend? Take me to Broadway. Let's go shopping maybe then we'll go to a caf. Let's go on the subway. Take me to your hood. I never been to Brooklyn, and I'd like to see what's good. Dressed in all your fancy clothes. Sneaker's looking fresh to death, I'm loving those shell toes. Walking that walk. Talk that slick talk. I'm liking this American boy, American boy.

Take me on a trip, Id like to go someday Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA. I really want to come kick it with you. You'll be my American Boy Who killing em in the UK? Everybody gonna to say you, Reluctantly, because most of this press don't ---- with me. Estelle once said to me, "Cool down, down, don't act a fool now, now." I always act a fool ow, ow. Ain't nothing new now, now. He crazy, I know what ya thinkin. Ribena I know what you're drinkin. Rap singer. Chain blinger. Holla at the next chick soon as you're blinkin. What's you're persona. About this Americana, Brama. Am I shallow cause all my clothes designer. Dressed smart like a London bloke Before he speak his suit bespoke. And you thought he was cute before. Look at this peacoat, tell me he's broke. And I know you aint into all that. I heard your lyrics I feel your spirit. But I still talk that ca-a-ash. Cause a lot wags wanna hear it. And I'm feeling like Mike at his baddest. Like the Pips at they Gladys. And I know they love it. So to hell with all that rubbish Would you be my love, my love. Could be mine would you be my love my love, would be mine Could you be my love, my love. Would you be my American boy, American boy Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day Take me to Chicago, San Francisco Bay I really want to come kick it with you.
