American Citizen - Bebe Rexha

If you were born here, it's automatic

You got your membership right outta the gate

But if that ain't you, yeah, it's not too late

If you were born somewhere else and wanna make a life here

Gotta spend a few years and pass the test

Take an oath saying you love this country the best

Oh, I can see a day when we will celebrate

We'll celebrate, we'll celebrate as we say

I am, I am an American citizen

This ain't just the place I'm living in

I got rights like electing the president

I am, I am an American citizen

Our foundation's a nation of immigrants

I am an American citizen

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh

We the, the people, come from all over the world

We believe that there's nowhere better

We are strong when we stand together

And right now in a small-town courthouse, history is being made

There's freedom welling up in someone's eyes

'Cause their dream is being realized

Today could be the day that we, we celebrate

We celebrate, we celebrate as we say

I am, I am an American citizen

This ain't just the place I'm living in

I got rights like electing the president

I am, I am an American citizen

Our foundation's a nation of immigrants

I am an American citizen

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)

Oh-oh (and American citizen)

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)

Oh-oh

When you're a citizen, you get the right to vote

When you can speak your mind, whatever floats your boat

You can petition for close family members

To come and live here and be together

You can run for office and lead your crew

But you got some responsibilities, too

If in this country, there's ever a need

Serve on a jury from overseas

Support and defend the constitution

Taxes you pay are a contribution

For the freedom and liberty

My country, 'tis of thee

I am, I am an American citizen

This ain't just the place I'm living in

I got rights like electing the president

I am, I am an American citizen

Our foundation's a nation of immigrants

I am an American citizen

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)

Oh-oh (and American citizen) (I am)

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh
