Estelle ft. Kanye West - American Boy (lyrics)

"American Boy"
(feat. Kanye West)

[Kanye West:]
This a number-one champion sound.
Yeah, Estelle, we 'bout to get down, 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.
Yes.
Tell the promoter we need more seats.
We just sold out all the floor seats.

[Estelle:]
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.
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 wide awake.
First let's see the West End.
I'll show you to my brethren.
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

[Estelle:]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

Will you 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 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.

Dress in all your fancy clothes.
Sneakers 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, 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.

Tell 'em wagwan blud.

[Kanye West:]
Who killing 'em in the UK.
Everybody gonna say, "You, K."
Reluctantly 'cause most of this press don't fuck with me.

Estelle once said to me, "Cool down, down,
Don't act a fool now, now."
I always act a fool. Oww, oww.
Ain't nothing new now now.

He crazy. I know what you thinking.
Ribena I know what you're drinking.
Rap singer. Chain blinger.
Holler at the next chick soon as you're blinking.

What's your persona
About this Americana rhymer?
Am I shallow 'cause all my clothes designer.

Dressed smart like a London bloke.
Yes.
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 ain't into all that.
I heard your lyrics I feel your spirit.
But I still talk that cash
'Cause a lot of 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.

[Estelle:]
Would you be my love, my love?
Could you be mine?
Would you be my love, my love?
Could you 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.
You'll be my American boy, be my 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.

[Estelle:]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Will you be my American boy?

"Everybody gonna say "you, K"
Best lyrics I've heard today

[Shinobu-kocho-insectpillar]

Anyone here 2024 still loving this song?
👇

[FromtheHerts]

Knew about this song for years but couldn’t name it until months ago! Excellent piece of music and very catchy.

[stickperson-rzvh]

Honestly due to how smooth Chug jug with you is with the lyrics and how much I’ve listened to it, this song feels more like a cover than the actual cover

[WeezerFan]

My favorite kanye feature and no one can change that.

[Rainy_weather.zen_]

always tend to go back to this song every once in a while

[dylandupre]

All I see is Garnet's face and those fly ass moves🤣😂

[thomascrean]

This song is so nostalgic. I always listened to it with my friends in 3rd grade

[Nekosenpai]

To this day, it’s still good driving music to me whenever I’m on my way to school or work.

[Rubyzagi_extras]

This came on at the carnival, and I instantly started singing chug jug with you lol

[knnoxsub]

"I just met this 5-foot-7 guy who's just my type"
describes him so well 💕

[BardiXOfficial]

2021 was the year of hearing years of music I didn’t listen to growing up

[soniadavis]

My 9 yr old son had that "Chug Jug" version blasting in his room while playing Fortnite with his buds . . .
From the kitchen I said "OHH HELLL NAWW" and proceeded to play this original masterpiece on 100 volume!!!
....Needless to say, when i turned back around, they were dancing around the living room and asking if they could hear it again!! 🤣🤣😉🎵
some of us old school parents are still raising cool kids in todays world ❤😍❤👌👍✌🤟
