American Me (Intro)

[Intro]
What makes a man, a man?
Friend of mine once wondered
Is it his origins? The way he comes to life?
I don't think so
It's the choices he makes
Not how he starts things
But how he decides to end them

[Break]
Right about now
CL Smooth
Right about now
This is Black Heart
Right about now, right a-right about now
CL Smooth
Right about now
This is Black Heart

[Verse]
This is that LP, American Me
With the big boy C, CL Smooth, baby, life of a "G"
You feel the hood, salute the President
My young likin's in program live to do anything
To please the old man
I'm really on it like that, you industry, boy
I'm in the street, I'm who they waited so long to meet
I'm still positive but let's go hard with it
My swag is so insane, I'm walkin' with God with it
And do believe, it's all about your survival
To switch it up and pull a pistol out that Bible, just say the word You not dealin' with a herb, that'll move with a bird
I'm just a eagle, stayin' fly for the people
My soldiers back and I'm down, jack it off with no limit
I want the world, my neezy, and everything in it
I'm Mack from the stack to the Rollie
Beside a alter ego named Goldie, it has to be American Me

[Outro]
From the four square miles of Mount Vernon streets
There rose a hustler, that every woman wanted to meet
His game was strong, his money was long
And before you know it, he was livin' the American Dream
