Coming To America |
| I came out of a killer, neighborhood called River |
| Where life expectancy is shorter than a caterpillar |
| I was once a gorilla, and this show was my cage |
| My trina was the gauge, Ak was my baby sitter |
| When we be out and looted, the whole city was shooting |
| I know it’s fucked up but somehow, this army came shooting |
| Niggas heard African rappers and thought about them voodoo |
| It’s superman, tell the real soldier boy come to shoot you |
| Same food and of course what you… nigga |
| Fuck what you heard, yeah nigga |
| Come walk in the dark no fear nigga |
| It’s a … my eyes no tears nigga |
| Working malaria, your hood can’t even compare here |
| Got keys, they really love barriers |
| Come … here, I’m daring you |
| I’ll shoot your … ain’t afraid like give me a… lemonade |
| You up my school… while playing catch with a hand grenade |
| Yeap, that’s a true story, this ain’t Hollywood glory |
| I ain’t the prince of the … my life is too … |
| I’m tired of always going through barriers |
| I just wanna live a good life |
| So I’m coming, coming to America, |
| I hope we gonna have a good time |
| Baby thanks for letting me marry ya |
| … car sure looks fine |
| So I’m coming, coming to America, |
| I hope we gonna have a good time |
| Now my second home city, what can I say |
| It took my fucking heart from me |
| I played the judge part and i… |
| Oh yeah, that mean it never got no bars for me |
| See that … to the motherfucker… be |
| Fuck puck but it ain’t no hockey |
| When the cops came, they knocked me |
| I had to flee, they said to bargain, I had to pee |
| So I crossed the border while they put a warrant out for me |
| I’m tired of always going through barriers |
| I just wanna live a good life |
| So I’m coming, coming to America, |
| I hope we gonna have a good time |
| Baby thanks for letting me marry ya |
| … car sure looks fine |
| So I’m coming, coming to America, |
| I hope we gonna have a good time |
| I know, everywhere in the world, got his problems |
| Everybody got the dreams, of the greens, of the dollars |
| But some of us are dying in the streets can you figure out |
| Even in America, the… need a ticket out |
| I know, everywhere in the world, got his problems |
| Everybody got the dreams, of the greens, of the dollars |
| But some of us are dying in the streets can you figure out |
| Even in America, the… need a ticket out |
| I’m tired of always going through barriers |
| I just wanna live a good life |
| So I’m coming, coming to America, |
| I hope we gonna have a good time |
| Baby thanks for letting me marry ya |
| … car sure looks fine |
| So I’m coming, coming to America, |
| I hope we gonna have a good time. |
