Tekst piosenki:
Kanye West:
This a number one champion sound
Yeah, Estelle, we 'bout to get down
Who the hottest in the world right now
Just touched down in London town
Bet they give me a pound
Tell 'em put the money in my hand right now
Tell the promoter we need more seats
We just sold out all the floor seats
Estelle:
Chorus
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 ya"
I just met this 5-foot-7 guy who's just my type
Like the way he's speakin', his confidence is peakin'
Don't like his baggy jeans but I might 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 bredrin
I'm likin' this American boy, American boy
Chorus
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
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
Dressed in all your fancy clothes
Sneakers lookin' fresh to death, I'm lovin' those Shell Toes
Walkin' that walk, talk that slick talk
I'm likin this American boy, American boy.
Chorus
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 wah gwaan, blud!
Kanye West:
Who killin' them in the UK
Everybody gonna say "You, K"
Reluctantly, 'cause most of this press don't f**k with me
Estelle once said to me, "cool down, down
don't act a fool now, now"
I always act a fool oww, oww
Aint nothing new now, now
He crazy, I know what you thinkin'
Ribena I know what you're drinkin'
Rap singer, chain blinger
Holler at the next chick soon as you're blinkin'
What's you're persona about this Americana rhymer
Am I shallow 'cause all my clothes designer
Dressed smart like a London bloke
Before he speak his suit bespoke
And you thought he was cute before
Look at this pea coat, 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 ca-a-ash
'Cause a lot WAGs wanna hear it
And I'm feelin' like Mike at his baddest
Like the Pips at their gladdest
And I know they love it
So to hell with all that rubbish
Estelle:
Would you be my love, my love
could be mine would you be my love my love, could be mine
Could you be my love, my love
Would you be my American boy, American boy
Chorus
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, American boy

Everybody gonna say you K".. to oznacza cos takiego mniej wiecej "kto rządzi w UK. wszyscy powiedzieliby 'ty, K' " . 'K' to skrót od 'Kanye'. 'UK' i 'You K' brzmią tak samo, dlatego taki skrót od jego imienia żeby był rym. i drugie: "And I'm feelin like Mike at his Baddest.", najpierw przetłumaczę co oznacza 'at his baddest'. 'at his best' by znaczyło coś w tym stylu "w jego najlepszym wydaniu", 'w jego najlepszej odsłonie'. ale tam jest 'baddest' zamiast 'best', dlatego że Kanye nawiazuje do Michael Jacksona, do jego piosenki bad i całej ery tej płyty. on czuje się jak Mike w jego 'najgorszym' wydaniu xd. to tak z przymrużeniem oka. chyba czaicie o co biega. a i era Bad to był chyba najlepszy, najbardziej sukcesywny okres w jego karierze, pomijając Thrillera. więc tym bardziej porównanie Kanyego jest trafione. czuje się tak jak michael kiedy najlepiej mu się powodziło. mam nadzieje że jasno to wytłumaczyłam ;d
cóż, jest jeszcze Visa Versa Mc Larsa :D
...już nic nie mówię.
tam ''just'' nie oznacza ''tylko'', ale "właśnie" z czasu present perfect
