James Brown - America Is My Home - Part One lyrics

rate me

Talking 'bout me leaving America<br />

You gotta be crazy, man, I like<br />

All the nice thing, Jack<br />

Colonial suits and things, look at here<br />

<br />

Now I am sorry for the man<br />

Who don't love this land<br />

Now black and white, they may fight<br />

But when up the enemy come<br />

We'll get together and run about all side<br />

<br />

I love it<br />

<br />

The sun don't come out in rainy weather<br />

But when you ball it down they are still together<br />

Now let's not overlook the fact that we are, we are still in reach<br />

You got to chance to make it and you got a freedom of speech<br />

<br />

Say what you wanna, tell 'em how you feel<br />

There may be a lot of places, a lot of places that you like to go<br />

But believe me if you get an education you can blow<br />

You can all it blow, dig this<br />

<br />

Now you tell me if I'm wrong<br />

America is still the best country<br />

And that's without a doubt<br />

America is still the best country<br />

Without a doubt<br />

<br />

And if anybody says it ain't, you can try to put him out<br />

They ain't going nowhere, you got a good fight<br />

When I tell you one time that I was a shoeshine boy<br />

Every word I said, I meant<br />

<br />

But name me any other country<br />

You can start out as a shoeshine boy<br />

And shake hand with the president<br />

It ain't gonna help you gotta had that royal blood to make it<br />

And I ain't got nothing royal but me<br />

So I can take the chances, I'm gonna stay home<br />

<br />

And look at here I got a brand new jet<br />

When I need to move<br />

I saw a brother made it<br />

Now it ain't that a rule<br />

<br />

So look at here<br />

Brothers and sisters and friends, dig this<br />

So quit your dreaming all night<br />

Stop beatin' yourself and get up and fight<br />

<br />

Don't give up, you might give up, but just don't give out<br />

I know if you give out don't give up<br />

There's no quick going, I mean like keep it moving you know<br />

'Cause if you stop like a ball quit rolling<br />

<br />

Now we got two of the [Incomprehensible] from Florida to Rome<br />

Which we know there's one thing we'll never forget<br />

America's still our home, hit it bad<br />

God bless America, I'm talking about me too<br />

You know I'm American myself, I like that kind of thing, look at here
