[Intro: Bono]
Anyway, it's not a right/left issue. It's a right/wrong issue, and America has constantly been on the side of what's right. Because when it comes down to it, this is about keeping faith with the idea of America. Because America's an idea, isn't it? I mean, Ireland's a great country, but it's not an idea. Great Britain's a great country, it's not an idea
[Verse 1: Mackned]
American boy, American boy (that´s how we see)
American boy
American boy, I slide in various stores i'm robbing foreigns and shit. I cop a foreign and get it painted, half naked and getting wasted American girl, with the ghost of the furl, my pocket's staying on elevation, top up at my destination, blowing up no detonation, he falling off resignation, getting off of this medication. Lil nigga do bad for a reputation, dodging all of this replication, cut em off no amputation I pop up and dodge agitation, shots off like assignation, my life built off imagination. I'm out of here i'm gone, evacuation, evacuation, square bitches a complication, I sound better intoxicated, still finessing these street's nigga cause I ain't impressed with the conversation, Thraxxhouse so wavy [?] nigga it's condensation, circle locked in I forgot the combination (cobeezy) dead president in my pocket nigga, what's the population?
[Chorus: Mackned]
American boy, American boy, American boy, American boy, American boy, American boy, American boy, American boy
[Verse 2: Mackned]
I got bills to pay, I got rent to pay, connected in the base slide with lil dre, no pain no stakes, rules to the game, day ones rock flames in the hood that I stay, come out of halfway, pull up and valet, I pull up with valet, she dancing for me ballet, this fish scale filet, please don't betray, bro we'll leave you on display. with no delay, i'm dodging cameras no replay your whole clique is cliché. Groupie niggas with no story, my new crib got a couple stories, i'm cooking up that heat nigga, formula, in a laboratory, everything come off the dome it flammatory, so many styles can't put a nigga in a category, couple bands at least nigga that's mandatory, kill yourself slowly I see you niggas in purgatory. You flexing everything you want a [?] doggie dog what American boy's predatory. (woo)
[Chorus: Mackned]
American boy, American boy, American boy, American boy, American boy, American boy, American boy, American boy
[Outro: Mackned and Bono ]
American boy, American boy, American boy, as one of the greatest ideas in human history American boy, American boy, right up there with the Renaissance, right up there with crop rotations and the Beatles' White album. The idea, the American idea---it's an idea---the idea is that you and me are created equal, and will ensure that an economic recession need not become an equality rescission. The idea that life is not meant to be endured but enjoyed. The idea that if we have dignity, if we have justice then leave it to us, and we'll do the rest. This country was the first to claw its way out of darkness and put that on paper. And God love you for it, because these aren't just American ideas anymore. There's no copyright on them. You brought them into the world. It's a wide world now. I know Americans say they have a bit of the world in them, and you do, the family tree has lots of branches. But the thing is, the world has a built of America in it, too. These truths, your truths, they're self-evident in us
