Young Americans Lyrics

I met this beautiful sister overseas

It was after show We would go

Over Everything

She was a from a poorer country

She spit game on how she wishes she was American with fortune and fame

She sees the opportunity not the nuance

I said please get information like Beyonc

She said most Blacks take U.S for a joke

I did no we do t but U.S dropped bombs on Blacks in Oklaho

Black Wall Street 1921

The wealthiest Blacks was murdered by bombs mobs and guns

And that was just after the reconstruction yo

Where we was promised equal rights but Jim Crow

Ku klux klan hoods and hangings

She said this is now that was then

I said yeah sister many do better as immigrants coming to America than Blacks who are ADOS

That's: African Descendants of slaves

Black actually from the U.S. born and raised

Our lack equality and racism remains

Turn on the infra red and you can still see the blood stains

We all

We all

Wanna be

Young Americans

And she said

We all

We all

Wanna be

Young Americans

And she said

You got it all

You got it all

You got it all

Young Americans

And she said

You got it all

You got it all

You got it all

Young Americans

She said

Black Americans be dripping I that gold though driving Buggati’s, Chanel Bags and Hublot

She still thinks the 45 prez was dumb as a mofo but she said that on the down low

I said I love the U.S. home of Hip Hop but just Jazz Blues and Rock it got co-opted

All I’m saying is don’t see things with rosey optics

Come here get that money and give back to your continent

We agreed and we planted seeds

I wanna move to Africa and her to DC

The world is ours we both wanna be free

And everyone's at a different stage of what freedom means

So we went and got some greens and some corn bread

She down with elegba I’m down with what the Lord says

She kissed each other lightly on the forehead

And pray for the diaspora to be joyous

We all

We all

Wanna be

Young Americans

And she said

We all

We all

Wanna be

Young Americans

And she said

You got it all

You got it all

You got it all

Young Americans

And she said

You got it all

You got it all

You got it all

Young Americans

We all

We all

Wanna be

Young Americans

And she said

We all

We all

Wanna be

Young Americans

And she said

You got it all

You got it all

You got it all

Young Americans

And she said

You got it all

You got it all

You got it all

Young Americans
