American Me (intro) Songtext
von C.L. Smooth

- Thunder - - Rain and Thunder - - Thunder - - Rain and Thunder

"What makes a man a man? A friend of mine once wondered
Is it his origins? The way he comes to life?
I don′t think so
It's the choices he makes
Not how he starts things, but how he decides to end them"
- Beat Box - "Right about now" "CL Smooth" "Right about now"
"Right about now" "CL Smooth" "Right about now"
"Right about now"


This is that LP, American Me, with the big boy C
CL Smooth baby, life of a G
You feel the hood, salute the president
My young likings and program
Live to do anything to please the old man
I′m really on it like that
You industry boy, I'm in the street
I'm who they waited so long to meet
I′m still positive but let′s go hard with it
My swag is so insane, I'm walking with God with it
And do believe, it′s all about your survival
So switch it up and pull the pistol out that bible
Just say the word, you not dealing with a herb
That'll move with a bird
I′m just an eagle staying fly for the people
My soldiers backing 'em down, jacking off with no limit
I want the world my neezy and everything in it
A mack from the stack to the Roley
Beside an alter ego named Goldie
It has to be American Me

"From the four square miles of Mount Vernon streets
There rose a hustler that every woman wanted to meet
His game was strong, his money was long
And before you know it, he was living the American Dream"
