American Way Lyrics by Will Cole (USA)

Secrets From the Story

0

He stood out on the corner
Stakin' his little claim to fame
Said he had the best shit in the city
He was really on top of his game
And shy-town is a busy town
See 'em lined up around the block
When you get here, have the right change
And don't ever forget about my Glock
Said he worked his way up the American way
Said you've always got to pay to play
Talk about pullin' up by your bootstraps
Yeah - and that's all good, that's all good
But sometimes you've got to pop off a few caps
Ask Chief Joseph - ask Sitting Bull - ask Geronimo
Ask Bear Coat - ask Wild Bill - ask the buffalo
It's the American way
A lot of brothеrs done been left behind
See this tattoo - it's for Marlon
Somе 38 done vegged his mind
Sometimes I pray for him
He was just seventeen
We were banging down by the edge of the world
Not far from Cabrini Green
He was just seventeen, he was just seventeen
He was working his way up the American way
I guess sometimes you've always got to pay to play
Talk about pullin' up by your bootstraps
Yeah - and that's all good, that's all good
But sometimes you've got to pop off a few caps
Ask Chief Joseph - ask Sitting Bull - ask Geronimo
Ask Bear Coat - ask Wild Bill - ask the buffalo
It's the American way
It's the American way
