O
Ja Rule f. R.Kelly and Ashanti Lyrics

U... S...A...
Chanting 'U... S...A...' to show pride in our country

Bang your heads to this, come on
Dancing energetically to the song

I was born, I was raised In the US of A
Being proud of being an American and celebrating one's origins

I'm livin' in America AO, AO, AO, AO
Enjoying life in America and shouting with excitement

And no matter what they say I'll be livin' here anyway I'm lovin' you America AO, AO, AO, AO
Not caring about negative opinions of America and expressing love for the country anyway

Does that sound a little serious to you Has Aaron Carter turned red, white and blue I've been rollin' like this since day one But I never bring it on in your face
Asking if being patriotic is too serious and referencing another artist who is also patriotic, but not aggressively so

I have fun, there's a time to get down And a time to clown around Right about now time fix the frown Face to face and body to body We're gonna pull through Come on everybody
Having a good time and emphasizing the importance of coming together and overcoming tough times

Troubled times bring About troubled rhymes I'll cheer you up, baby Lemme clear your mind
Admitting that tough times can lead to negative thoughts, but offering to help lift each other's spirits

From New York to Cali Everywhere in between Ain't nobody gonna stop our dream
Expressing confidence that nothing will stand in the way of achieving our dreams, no matter where we are in the country

It's where I'm from And where I'm at I'm feelin' proud And I got it like that The grass ain't greener Uh uh, forget that From the valleys to the hills to the snow All the friends and the fam I'll let you know Everybody come together Make it half black, white, Spanish, Chinese Show me what you got, uh
Feeling pride in one's roots and where they are currently, while dismissing the idea of other places being better. Encouraging people from all backgrounds to come together and celebrate their differences

U...S...A... Bang your heads to this, come on
Repeating the patriotic chant and encouraging people to continue dancing to the song

I was born, I was raised In the US of A I'm livin' in America AO, AO, AO, AO And no matter what they say I'll be livin' here anyway I'm lovin' you America AO, AO, AO, AO
Repeating the chorus to emphasize how proud the artist is to be an American
