[Chorus: Kelis, Nas]
Yeah I think about✦ this every✦ day, that's the American✦ Way, shit
Yeah I think about✦ this every✦ day, that's the American✦ Way, shit (That's the American✦ Way)
Yeah I think about✦ this every✦ day, that's the American✦ Way, shit
Yeah I think about✦ this every✦ day, that's the American✦ Way
[Verse 2: Nas]
Up in the steam room chillin', exfoliating the skin
Israeli men conversatin' on ends
Probably businessmen, I sense good taste
And they watch us, the spots an expensive place
Manhattan, New York, I'm tryna✦ keep steamin'
It's good for the lungs, had plans for the evening
This man leans in, his boys laughing
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 ho'
I say first brotha✦ you ain't gotta✦ be that cold
Since you ignorant, I'ma✦ show you how the facts go
The biggest examples in scandal of history
Were Monica✦ Lewinsky or Donald Trump's pimping spree
Most women✦ who love Givenchy or 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 the Hermes✦ purse
Matter✦ fact, I'm about✦ to go shopping with my dime
Catch you cowards the next time, next rhyme, uh
[Chorus: Kelis, Nas]
Yeah I think about✦ this every✦ day, that's the American✦ Way, shit (That's the American✦ Way)
Yeah I think about✦ this every✦ day, that's the American✦ Way, shit ('Cause that's the American✦ Way)
Yeah I think about✦ this every✦ day, that's the American✦ Way, shit (What up, K, that's the American✦ Way)
Yeah I think about✦ this every✦ day, that's the American✦ Way, shit (Ha, yeah, uh)
[Verse 3: Kelis & Nas]
I don't care about✦ the runaways, I don't care about✦ who's gay
I don't care about✦ dying of AIDS, but I care that I got paid
Who even✦ cares✦ about✦ the President?
I think we're making✦ a mistake
I don't care about✦ the hurricane as long as my family's safe
I don't care about✦ the candidates, they burnt this country to bits
Yeah I think about✦ this everyday,✦ that's the American✦ Way (Uh)
Can we make a change (Yeah), 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✦ (Yeah)
Let's start the fight (Gyeah)
Yeah I think about✦ this everyday,✦ that's the American✦ Way
