American Boy
Breaking Beattz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He said, "Hey sister, it's really really nice to meet ya"
I just met this 5 foot 7 guy who's just my type
I like the way he's speaking
His confidence is peaking
Don't like his baggy jeans but I'mma like what's underneath them
And no I ain't to MIA
I heard that Cali never rains and New York heart awaits
First let's see the west end
I'll show you to my brethren
I'm liking this American Boy

American Boy

Can we get away this weekend?
Take me to Broadway
Let's go shopping baby then we'll go to a café
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
Dress in all your fancy clothes
Sneakers looking fresh to death
I'm loving those shell toes
Walking that walk
Talk that slick talk
I'm liking this American Boy

American Boy

Take me on a trip I'd like to go someday
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
You'll be my American Boy
You'll be my




You'll be
American Boy
