American Boy
American Boy: Unveiling the Transatlantic Charisma in Purple Avenue's Hit
Lyrics
Who killin' em in the UK
Questioning who is dominating the music scene in the UK.
Everybody gonna to say you K
Anticipating that everyone will acknowledge the excellence.
Reluctantly, because most of this press don't f**k wit me
Expressing reluctance due to lack of media support.
Estelle once said to me, cool down down
Recalling advice from Estelle to stay calm.
Don't act a fool now now
Cautioning against foolish behavior.
I always act a fool oww oww
Admitting a tendency to act foolishly.
Ain't nothing new now now
Asserting that such behavior is nothing new.
He crazy, I know what ya thinkin
Acknowledging awareness of being perceived as crazy.
White Pino I know what you're drinkin
Recognizing the other person's drink choice.
Rap singer, chain Blinger
Identifying as a rapper with flashy jewelry.
Holla at the next chick soon as you're blinkin
Encouraging immediate attention from a new woman.
What's you're persona
Asking about the other person's personality.
I got this American Brama. Am I shallow cuz all my clothes designer
Possessing an American swagger and questioning materialism.
Dressed smart like a London Bloke
Describing a fashionable London man.
Before he speak his suit bespoke
Noting the elegance of his suit.
And you thought he was cute before
Highlighting a perceived increase in attractiveness.
Look at this P Coat, Tell me he's broke
Challenging assumptions about wealth based on clothing.
And I know you're not into all that
Understanding the listener's disinterest in materialism.
I heard your lyrics I feel your spirit
Appreciating the listener's lyrical content and spirit.
But I still talk that CASH
Insisting on discussing money because it's popular.
Cuz a lot wacks want to hear it
Acknowledging the audience's preference for wealth talk.
And I'm feelin like Mike at his Baddest
Feeling confident and empowered, akin to Michael Jackson.
The Pips at they Gladys
Comparing oneself to a successful musical group (The Pips).
And I know they love it
Believing that people love the performance.
So to hell with all that rubbish
Disregarding negativity and criticism.
Would you be my love, my love
Pleading with the listener to be a romantic interest.
Could be mine would you be my love my love, could be mine
Repeating the desire for romantic involvement.
Could you be my love, my love
Continuing to express a desire for love.
Would you be my American Boy
Asking if the listener could be a romantic interest in America.
American Boy
Repeating the desire for an American romantic relationship.
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Expressing a desire to travel to various American cities.
Take me to Chicago, San Francisco Bay
Naming specific cities for the desired trip.
I really want to come kick it with you
Expressing a genuine wish to spend time with the listener.
You'll be my American Boy, American Boy
Reiterating the desire for an American romantic partner.
