Knaan - Coming To America lyrics

rate me

I came out of a killer, neighborhood called River

Where life expectancy is shorter than a caterpillar

I was once a gorilla, and this show was my cage

My trina was the gauge, Ak was my baby sitter

When we be out and looted, the whole city was shooting

I know it’s fucked up but somehow, this army came shooting

Niggas heard African rappers and thought about them voodoo

It’s superman, tell the real soldier boy come to shoot you

Same food and of course what you… nigga

Fuck what you heard, yeah nigga

Come walk in the dark no fear nigga

It’s a … my eyes no tears nigga

Working malaria, your hood can’t even compare here

Got keys, they really love barriers

Come … here, I’m daring you

I’ll shoot your … ain’t afraid like give me a …lemonade

You up my school… while playing catch with a hand grenade

Yeap, that’s a true story, this ain’t Hollywood glory

I ain’t the prince of the … my life is too …

I’m tired of always going through barriers

I just wanna live a good life

So I’m coming, coming to America,

I hope we gonna have a good time

Baby thanks for letting me marry ya

… car sure looks fine

So I’m coming, coming to America,

I hope we gonna have a good time

Now my second home city, what can I say

It took my fucking heart from me

I played the judge part and i…

Oh yeah, that mean it never got no bars for me

See that … to the motherfucker… be

Fuck puck but it ain’t no hockey

When the cops came, they knocked me

I had to flee, they said to bargain, I had to pee

So I crossed the border while they put a warrant out for me

I’m tired of always going through barriers

I just wanna live a good life

So I’m coming, coming to America,

I hope we gonna have a good time

Baby thanks for letting me marry ya

… car sure looks fine

So I’m coming, coming to America,

I hope we gonna have a good time

I know, everywhere in the world, got his problems

Everybody got the dreams, of the greens, of the dollars

But some of us are dying in the streets can you figure out

Even in America, the… need a ticket out

I know, everywhere in the world, got his problems

Everybody got the dreams, of the greens, of the dollars

But some of us are dying in the streets can you figure out

Even in America, the… need a ticket out

I’m tired of always going through barriers

I just wanna live a good life

So I’m coming, coming to America,

I hope we gonna have a good time

Baby thanks for letting me marry ya

… car sure looks fine

So I’m coming, coming to America,

I hope we gonna have a good time.
