American BoyBy: 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 York’s heart awaits.I heard that Cali never rains and New York’s heart awaits.

Take me to Broadway.

Let's go shopping maybe then we'll go to a café.

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.

And you thought he was cute before.

Look at this peacoat, tell me he's broke.Look at this peacoat, tell me he's broke.

But I still talk that ca-a-ash.
