Q&A
American Boy (feat. Kanye West) Lyrics
Kanye:
This another 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
Chorus:
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 ya"
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’ma like what's underneath em
And no I aint been to MIA
I heard that Cali never rains and New York's all the way.
First let's see the West end.
I'll show you to my brethen.
I'm like this American Boy. American Boy
Chorus
Can we get away this weekend
Take me to Broadway
Let's go shopping baby then we'll go to a Café
Let's go on the subway
Take me to your hood
I neva been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good
Dress in all your fancy clothes
Sneaker's looking fresh to def I'm lovin those shell toes
Walkin that walk
Talk that slick talk
I'm likin this American Boy. American Boy.
Chorus
Kanye:
Who killin em in the UK.
Everybody gonna to say "You K" reluctantly,
because most of this press don't fuck wit me.
Estelle once said to me, cool down down don't act a fool now now. I
always act a fool oww oww. Aint 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 your persona. I got this American Brahma.
Am I shallow cuz 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 P Coat, Tell me he's broke.
And I know you're not into all that. I heard your lyrics I feel your spirit.
But I still talk that C-A-A-ASH.
Cuz a lot wags want to hear it. And I'm feelin like Mike at his Baddest.
The Pips at they Gladys.
And I know they love it.
So to hell with all that rubbish
Estelle:
Would you be my love, my love.
would be mine would you be my love my love, could be mine
Could you be my love, my love.
Would you be my American Boy. American Boy

the lyrics are stil wrong kids:
Its not : 'What's your persona. I got this American Brahma. ' or 'What's your persona. About this Americana' BUT
'Whats your persona about this American RHYMER' (ok,i dont know if it says american or americana,i think its americana,but it def. says rhymer)
AANDDD
its missing the last chours,wich says : Take me to a trip I'd like to go someday Take me to Chicago, San Francisco Bay I really want to come kick it with you You'll be my American Boy Be my american boy .
=)
These ain't the lyrics
i love this song, just simply about a girl who has met a boy who she can see a future with...
i bet there will be loads more comments on this song soon, i think it will become really popular!
Holy shit! I love this song like no man should love a song. This will be my song for summer '08. I haven't loved a song like this since "Pon the Replay" back in '06.
You forgot the cute bit before the rap where Estelle yells "Tell 'em wagwan, bloke!"
some of the lyrics are wrong, for one thing, it's-
"Ribena, I know what you're drinkin'"
Thats one I'm sure of.
i LOVE this song. Kanye is awesome!
its not, 'But I still talk that C-A-A-ASH. Cuz a lot wacks want to hear it.'
its 'But I still talk that C-A-A-ASH. Cuz a lot WAGs want to hear it.'
easy mistake to make :)
loveeee this song! its on repeat right now ahha xxxxxxx
I think this has such a classic beat its awesome!
Its really high on th charts in NZ at the mom =D
okay sorry to pick little things out but this annoys me there are many little mistakes in the lyrics, and this is an amazing song so... yes. they are (probly not all of them) 1/ 'He crazy, I know what ya thinkin. White Pino I know what you're drinkin. ' should be 'He crazy, I know what ya thinkin. Ribena I know what you're drinkin. '
2/ 'What's your persona. I got this American Brahma. ' should be 'What's your persona. About this Americana'
3/'Cuz a lot wacks want to hear it. And I'm feelin like Mike at his Baddest. The Pips at they Gladys' should be Cuz a lot WAGs want to hear it. And I'm feelin like Mike at his Baddest. Like The PIMPs at they Gladest.
thats all i could pick for now, but so many mistakes bud. To much of a good song for that. :) il.it
@samanthaannjean it's actually "Americana Rhymer"
@samanthaannjean it's actually "Americana Rhymer"
It's about an American rapper and a British pop-singer falling in love... obviously
