Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just the number one Champion Sound (Yeah)
Yeah, Estelle, we 'bout to get down (Get down)
Who the hottest in the world right now (Ha)
Just touched down in London town (Ha)
[Verse 2]
Bet they give me a pound
Tell them put the money in my hand right now (Yes)
Tell the promoter we need more seats
We just sold out all the floor seats
[Verse 3]
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy
[Verse 4]
He said, "Hey Sister, It's really really nice to meet ya"
I just met this five foot seven guy who's just my type
Like the way he's speaking his confidence is peaking
Don't like his baggy jeans but I'ma like what's underneath them
[Verse 5]
And no I ain't been to MIA
I heard that Cali never rains and New York's heart awaits
First let's see the west end, I'll show you to my bredrin
I'm liking this American boy, American boy
[Verse 6]
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy, American boy
La, la-la, la-la, di-da
La, la-la, la-la, di-da
La, la-la, la-la, di-da
You'll be my American boy, American boy
[Verse 7]
Can we get away this weekend?
Take me to Broadway
Let's go shopping, baby, then we'll go to a Café (Ooh)
Let's go on the subway, take me to your hood
I never been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good (Ooh)
[Verse 8]
Dressed in all your fancy clothes
Sneaker's looking fresh to death, I'm lovin those shell toes
Walkin' that walk, talk that slick talk
I'm liking this American boy, American boy
[Verse 9]
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy
Tell 'em, wagwan blood
[Verse 10]
Who killing 'em in the UK? Everybody gonna say, "You K"
Reluctantly, because most of this press don't fuck wit me
Estelle once said to me, "Cool down, down don't act a fool now, now"
I always act a fool ow, ow, ain't nothing new now, now
He crazy, I know what ya thinkin, rap phenom I know what you're drinkin'
Rap singer, chain blinger
Holla at the next chick soon as you're blinking.
What's you're persona about this Americana rhymer?
Am I shallow 'cause all my clothes designer?
Uh, dressed smart like a London bloke
Before he speak his suit bespoke
And you thought he was cute before
Look at this pea coat, tell me he's broke
And I know you ain't into all that
I heard your lyrics I feel your spirit
But I still talk that ca-ah-ash, 'cause a lot wags want to hear it
And I'm feelin like Mike at his Baddest, like The Pips at their gladdest
And I know they love it. so to hell with all that rubbish
[Verse 11]
Would you be my love, my love? (Would you be mine?)
Would you be my love, my love? (Would you be mine?)
Could you be my love, my love (Ooh)
Would you be my American boy, American boy?
[Verse 12]
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day (Go someday)
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA (Oh)
I really want to come kick it with you (Ooh, ooh)
You'll be my American boy, American boy (Be my American boy)
[Verse 13]
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day (I'd go someway)
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA (See LA)
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy, American boy
La, la-la, la-la, di-da (La-la)
La, la-la, la-la, di-da (Ooh-ooh)
La, la-la, la-la, di-da
You'll be my American Boy American boy
