Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I hopped off the plane at LAX
With a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame, excess
Am I gonna fit in?
[Verse 2]
I jumped in a cab, here I am for the first time
Looked to my right, and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so famous
[PreChorus]
My tummy's turning, and I'm feeling kinda homesick
Too much pressure, and I'm nervous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a Jay-Z song was on
And a Jay-Z song was on
And a Jay-Z song was on
[Chorus]
So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song
The butterflies fly away
Noddin' my head like, "Yeah"
Movin' my hips like, "Yeah"
Put my hands up, they're playin' my song
I know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A.
[Outro]
Yeah
It's a party in the U.S.A.
