Send "American Way" ringtone to your cell

Political "recently there has been an emergence of

Socially conscious and political rappers

It seems to be a new trend in the hip-hop world"

Nas is a rebel to america

Nas is a rebel to america

Nas is a rebel to america

Yeah check it uh spot build-rocker lil' papa killed hoffa

Beard lil' longer feel strong enough stop ya

Drill sergeant still thorough wheelbarrows of distilled vodka

Get me real bonkers like will ferrell

On cat tranquilizer rap guys get bank

And think they messiahs but they liars

Vote fo who now? you're red white and blue

I'm american too but i ain't with the president's crew

What you peddlin' and who you peddlin' to?

You ain't got the ghetto with you

Try'na lead my sheep to the slaughterhouse

Talkin' 'bout rap the vote you ain't thought about

The black vote mean nathan

Who you gonna elect satan or satan?

In the hood nothin' is changin' uh

We ain't got no choices

Who to choose ten years ago they were tryin' to stop our voices

And end hip-hop they some hypocrites

Condoleeza rice i don't really get this chick

Tell her if she ever really cared about poor schools

About poor children

Then she gotta prove

That she ain't just another coon uncle tom fool

Like these mc's gotta give 'em the rules

Lie to the youth uncle tom you confused

Might as well give the hip-hop community a noose

Need a truce with the gangs and some food for the hungry

On kerry nuts he look at you like a monkey

You mc's on that old slavery path

The bushs'll look at yo' ass and laugh

See it's all about community let's help ourselves

Cops brutalize us get dealt with with shells

It's our turn it's 'bout time we win

Need somebody from the hood as my councilman uh

Yeah i think about this everyday that's the american way shit

Yeah i think about this everyday that's the american way shit

('cause that's the american way)

Yeah i think about this everyday that's the american way shit

Yeah i think about this everyday that's the american way

Up in the steam room chillin' ex foliating the skin

It's rarely men conversatin' on ends probably businessmen

I sense good taste and they watch us the spot's an expensive place

Manhattan new york i'm try'na keep steamin' it's good for the lungs

Had plans for the evenin' this man leans in his boy's laughin'

Now i'm the spokesperson for black men

This always happens since all black women care about is

Who got dough and all we do is call them either bitch or a black hoe

I say first brotha you ain't gotta be that cold

Since you ignorant i'ma show you how the facts go

The biggest example in scandal of history

Were monica lewinsky or donald trump's pimpin' spree

Most woman who love jeevanji of gucci

Are pretentious non-black groupies or floozies

But who are we to blame not the dames

It's a man-made game in all essence our woman the same

Beautiful creatures black girls birthed the earth

So they deserve to earn man's purse

Matter fact i'm about to go shoppin' with my dime

Catch you cowards the next time next rhyme uh

Yeah i think about this everyday that's the american way shit

(that's the american way)

Yeah i think about this everyday that's the american way shit

('cause that's the american way)

Yeah i think about this everyday that's the american way shit

(what up k? that's the american way)

Yeah i think about this everyday that's the american way

(ha yeah)

I don't care about the runaways i don't care about who's gay

I don't care about the dyin' of aids but i care if i got paid

Who even cares about the president i think we're makin' a mistake

I don't care about the hurricane as long as my baby's safe

I don't care about the candidates they burnt this country into bits

Yeah i think about this everyday that's the american way

Can we make a change you know it's not overnight

Let's start the fight

(and ya don't stop uh)

Can we make a change you know it's not overnight

Let's start the fight

Yeah i think about this everyday that's the american way
