All-American - Sly deSilva

Americans move forward in every generation

By reaffirming all that is good and true that came before

Ideals of justice and conduct

That are the same yesterday, today, and forever

Spit hotter than the napalm that burned Vietnam

Flow colder than the soul of Reagan

Blowin' up like bombs over Afghanistan (Heh)

I’m All-American

Sly deSilva, All-American Villain

Get it how I live, and I live takin' billions

In the shadows of the stars and stripes

American gangster with the suit and ti (Yeah)

Devil on my shoulder told m, «Get it however»

Devil on the other told me, «Load the Beretta» (Heh)

My money dirtier than Flint water

Blood diamonds in my chain, you know I came to drip harder

Wall Street got the game on lock

I run the world and I sit at the top

Pullin' strings like Geppetto

Dance puppet, dance

All this money, and not enough rubber bands (Yeah)

Presidential Rollie got Reagan on the watch face

Strapped with the .22 that shot RFK

Star-Spangled Banner in the candy paint

Scrape Pennsylvania Ave., got the '64 bagged

I’m All-American

Stars and stripes, apple pie

Sending out the troops to fight and die

I’m All-American

Slavery, genocide

Fireworks on the Fourth of July

I’m All-American

Atom bombs and drone strikes

Red, blue and especially white

I’m All-American

Bald eagles and blue skies

If you love America, you should be loving Sly

Wolfowitz Doctrine, set trippin' on these motherfuckers

Third World countries 'bout the catch the fade

International court, finna walk away

1986, Nicaragua v. USA

Big stick diplomacy, homie

I put mo' bands in Panama than Fonseca

I run mo' bands than a banana republic

It’s the Star-Spangled Bandit, the bank accounts flooded

Walkin' 'round DC like Suge Knight in Compton

'93 Death Row in the hallways of Congress (Heh)

Like Eazy-E, lunchin' at the presidential functions

Stealin' oil, Iraq war stuntin' (Uh)

The only rapper with an endorsement deal from Halliburton

Sly deSilva killed the whole game (Perfect)

In the Middle East, we stay calm, we just drop-

Askin' where we come from?

Washington

I’m All-American

Stars and stripes, apple pie

Sending out the troops to fight and die

I’m All-American

Slavery, genocide

Fireworks on the Fourth of July

I’m All-American

Atom bombs and drone strikes

Red, blue and especially white

I’m All-American

(Heh, yeah)

I’m All-American
