מילים לשיר American Way – Nas

Newscaster: "Recently there has been an emergence of socially conscious and political rappers.It seems to be
a new trend in the Hip (Vers 1: Nas)
Yeah, check it, uh
Spot buildBeard lil' longer, feel strong and I'll stop ya
Drill sergeant, still thorough, wheelbarrows of distilled vodka
I'm American too, but I ain't with the president's crew
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?
You ain't got the ghetto with you
What you peddlin' and who you peddlin' to?
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
TenAnd end HipCondoleeza Rice 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 HipNeed a truce with the gangs and some food for the hungry
On Kerry nuts, he look at you like a monkey
The Bushs'll look at yo' ass and laugh
You MC's on that old slavery path
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 as 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
(Nas: 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
(Verse 2: Nas) Up in the steam room chillin', exfoliating the skin
It's rarely men conversatin' on ends, probably businessmen
I sense good taste, and they watch us, the spots an expensive place
Manhattan New York, I'm try'na keep steamin'
It's good for the lungs, had plans for the evening
Now I'm the spokesperson for Black men, this always happens
Says, "Since all Black women care about is who got dough
This man leans in, his boys laughing
And all we do is call them either bitch or a Black hoe"
I say first brotha you ain't gotta be that cold
The biggest example in scandal of history
Since you ignorant, I'ma show you how the facts go
Were Monica Lewinksy or Donald Trump's pimping spree
Most woman who love Jeevanji of Gucci
Are pretentious nonIt's a manBeautiful creatures, Black girls birthed the earth
But who are we to blame, not the dames
So they deserve to earn man's purse
Matter fact, I'm about to go shopping with my dime (Catch you cowards the next time, the next rhyme, uh
(Nas: 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, shit
Yeah I think about this everyday, that's the American Way, shit
(Nas: Cause that's the American way.What up, K?)
(Nas: That's the American way)
Yeah I think about this everyday, that's the American Way, shit
(Nas: Ha, yeah) 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 if I got paid
Who even cares about the president?
I think they'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 (Nas: Uh) Can we make a change
Let's start the fight (Nas: And ya don't stop, uh)
You know it's not overnight
Can we make a change
You know it's not overnight
Let's start the fight (Nas: Yeah)
Yeah I think about this everyday, that's the American Way *Sample* Nas: Nas is a rebel to America!.
