Yelawolf - American You lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Man ya got it all worked out, don't ya? Old pair of shoes

Neva wear yo heart on yo sleeve cuz it don't go wit the suit

Ya got a bad, bad woman wit a young lil pretty face

They told ya not to go get married but ya went and did it anyway

(Chorus)

Singing, oh, sweet sounds of American ya

Neva miss a Sunday service, neva got tattoos

Every time we drive by waving, I see right through

Fuck ya too

(Verse 2)

Mama said steer clear of the devil so ya neva played in the road

Always looking on the bright side, so ya neva see the potholes

Ya got a house on a hill, big news, that's a big deal

Big party wit yo big time friends, man imagine how that feels

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)

I believe in the modest dream, ain't looking for a pot of gold

A 6 pack and sum' good marijuana I can watch my mama roll

I believe I can buy a few things like a house wit a nice pool

Invite my nobody friends to the party and we'll be in it, fuck ya

Ya got a blue collar father who drinks Budweiser out the bottle

Twenty dollas, an ole' Impala, a baby's momma

Ya work hard, ya don't beg, ya don't borrow

Night at the factory, daytime job at McDonald's

Yo daddy told ya that girl was nothing but a problem

But ya fell in luv cuz to ya she was like a supermodel

And they told ya not to go get married but ya went and did it anyway

It ain't no problem

Ya make sumething out of nothing, ya make money for a living

Pushing buttons, sticking digits, flipping burgers in the kitchen

Wit the vision, you've been dreaming, you've been saving

You've been given nothing but shit

But ya take it cuz you're patient in this prison

Fuck everybody visiting, it ain't 'em who got to live in this skin

Wit all these tattoos that ya got, it fucking offends 'em

If it's ya that I'm speaking to, ya must be my extension

I take my drink up and sip it, take my hat off and tip it

Slumerican

(Chorus x2)
