(feat. Kanye West)

Kanye West:

Just another one champion sound
me and Estelle about to get down
who the hottest in the world right now.
Just touched down in London town.
Bet they give me a pound.
Tell them put the money in my hand right now.
Tell the promoter we need more seats,
we just sold out all the floor seats

Estelle:

Chorus
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day.
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy.

He said Hey Sister.
It's really really nice to meet ya.
I just met this 5 foot 7 guys who's just my type.
I like the way he's speaking his confidence is peaking.
Don't like his baggy jeans but Ima like what's underneath it.
And no I aint been to MIA
I heard that Cali never rains and New York heart awaits. First let's see the west end.
I'll show you to my bridrens.
I'm like this American Boy. American Boy

Chorus
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy

Can we get away this weekend.
Take me to Broadway.
Let's go shopping baby then we'll go to a Café.
Let's go on the subway.
Take me to your hood.
I neva been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good.
Dress in all your fancy clothes.
Sneaker's looking Fresh to Def I'm lovin those Shell Toes.
Walkin that walk.
Talk that slick talk.
I'm likin this American Boy. American Boy.

Chorus
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day.
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy

Kanye West:
Who killin em in the UK. Everybody gonna to say you K, reluctantly, because most of this press don't f**k wit me. Estelle once said to me, cool down down don't act a fool now now. I always act a fool oww oww. Aint nothing new now now. He crazy, I know what ya thinkin. White Pino I know what you're drinkin. Rap singer. Chain Blinger. Holla at the next chick soon as you're blinkin. What's you're persona. about this American Brama. Am I shallow cuz all my clothes designer. Dressed smart like a London Bloke. Before he speak his suit bespoke. And you thought he was cute before. Look at this P Coat, Tell me he's broke. And I know you're not into all that. I heard your lyrics I feel your spirit. But I still talk that CAAASH. Cuz a lot wags want to hear it. And I'm feelin like Mike at his Baddest. The Pips at they Gladys. And I know they love it. so to hell with all that rubbish

Estelle:
Would you be my love, my love.

Could you be my love, my love.
Would you be my American Boy. American Boy

Chorus
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy

. . .


Wonder why, wonder why, wonder why
why must we pretend
Why can't we be more than friends?
Let's be more than friends.

What are you afraid of?
We've been playing games love
Together we crazy, good I mean baby, so why you gotta change up?
Baby when we make love, in ways I never made love
Feels so real, but something still is missing from the picture
Everywhere I go, people wanna know. wonder where I been, what's the deal wit him
Is y'all really cool, is he just a friend
Now I'm asking you, tell me what it is
Look me in my eye, you don't have to lie
Must think I'm a fool, fucking round with you
Need to give me proof I need to hear the truth
I just got one question for you

CHORUS:
Wonder why, wonder why, wonder why
why must we pretend
Why can't we be more than friends?
Let's be more than friends.

Wonder why, wonder why, wonder why
why must we pretend
Why can't we be more than friends?
Let's be more than friends.

I think you see me as your play thing
Your Friday to Sunday thing
I'm not your weekend love, your secret fuck, brother I'm not playing
And if I wanted to be part time, I'd be working at the check-out line
At the liquor store, the picture show, let me give you piece of my mind

RAP
Why don't you put your arms around me huh?
Acting different when your friends around
See nah, when we together we fire and no I never tell my friends your a friend
You're my guy we're together uh huh
Calling my phone about we needed a break
How we gonna break up when we ain't willing to date?
You say you want that real woman, when you get her you run
How come i never met the family like your dad and your mum?
And I don't wanna hear it, stop being a bitch
You making me respect you less, I'm really starting to switch
You're saying that and this and your heart broken
yeah, you sound like shit like you're taking a piss
Somebody wanna see ya chick, ya see the problem with dis is
I'm waiting in vain, I'm waiting for you to change
We ain't kicking it No, we ain't chilling NO, we ain't doing a ting blood
I'm more like a full time thing
See fam you got your own sock drawer, you can call me much more
more then just your friend much, more than before
don't play me like an extra, I got speaking roles
I am NOT that ho, I am so much more

I wonder why

CHORUS

Speaking:
Don't act like I'm tryna press you
it's just you know
It's obvious, it's all there, like
what you waiting for
(why can't we be more than friends, let's be more than friends)
Stop pretending
(let's be more than friends, let's be more than friends)
You know we more than friends, you know it's me and you
c'mon, yeah, sing

huh huh...huh huh...huh huh...

. . .


Don't tell me you love me if it aint really true,
Don't tell me you love me just cause you in the mood,
This thing i had for you,
It's only for you my baby,

I'll give it so swiftly if you start to act a fool.
So when you say that you love me do you really understand?
Cause lovin aint just about touchin and holding hands.

It's a spiritual thing that,
Really really hard so baby,
So dont gimme no lies if you really wanna be my man.

My love is so magnificent baby,
If you really real come take it.
My love is so magnificent baby,
If you really, if you really

You aint gonna be the one to tell me how much im worth,
Cause i pulled myself out up from under the dirt,

You have got to believe me,
What i have dont come easy,
And if your ready like im ready then you gotta put in the work.
Now you know im the realist chick you've been waiting a while,
And i aint dealin with no harvard boy cause he makes me smile,

Cause you gotta step your game up,
This is what i call a wake cause,
You can take it to the left because i'll always be the style

. . .


If I was to tell you just how much I need you, would you come tonight
Or would you not believe me cause a love that easy never turns out right
I'm trying to change the rules you deserve something good in your life
We've waited for far too long so come get your blessing tonight baby

[Chorus:]
Won't you come over love, Sure I can show you love
Promise I got enough to give you all that you need baby
So many search to find, A love that is good as mine
I will not waste your time so bring it all to me baby

Baby let me teach you, give you love instruction, show you what I know
Need to take it easy, no need rush it, baby go nice and slow
All this love I can go to you, I expect just a bit in return
You don't have to be perfect as long as you're willing to learn baby

[Chorus:]
Won't you come over love, sure I can show you love
Promise I got enough to give you all that you need baby
So many search to find a love that is good as mine
I will not waste your time so bring it all to me baby

Turn out the lights, give you all my love tonight
Let's do what lover do, I'm ready, I'm ready
I don't want to waste your time
So don't make me beg tonight
Don't keep me waiting for love
Won't you come over tonight

. . .


On and on and on and on [3x]
I want that old thing back.

I'm a bring it back blood
Come follow me
Listen likkle hip hop jazz and r&b
?Care make the struggle?, make them bwouys go mad
Act like ya heavy, mek a gyal go on bad,
Listen - I make, you take
What ever kinda harmonies, that Estelle make
The incredible, unforgettable
Yes, yes, that's what they say when they ?sticks to? my head
Whenever the see me, they wanna tap, tap
You can't touch the pum pum
Bwouy You mussa mad

Don't you know you look so good,
Your mind is not ready, Oh, no, no….

[Chorus]
They got so much things to say right now
They go so much things to say
And if a bwouy don't know what he's dealing with
You need to move that out the way
They got so much things to say right now
They go so much things to say
And if a gyal don't know what's she's working with
gotta move that out the way

Said If he ain't go no ambition
And he don't know how to listen
But he think he running game
Like a bloody politician
Push him out the way 3x
Get your ass out the way

Cause if you are a gyal
And she wanna play games
She don't wanna go to work
She too hot for the train
Dash her out the way 3x
Get your ass out the way

I can break it down
Like whatever you want
You want it like this
I'm a take you out to the sticks.
Miss Estelle
I bruk it down quick
Back to the hood, and papparazzi take a click
I'm covered, always prepared for the weather
Easy mek it rain, but I'm holding the umbrella
You can catch me in my heels and ting
You know them pounds make a guy wanna sing
This is London talk, you run New York?
This English chick?
I'll show you how to walk.
Listen
And I don't think there's nobody else (uh-uh, uh-uh)
That can do it quite like Estelle

[Chorus]

Out. The. Way.
Push him back
?If .. fool? a gyal dey you
Trying to date you and your girlfriends too
Chatting all the crap about he really love you

Listen

Out. The. Way.
Push him back
If you foolish trying to get your day
Knowing that you work damn hard all day
She got plenty of cash in L.A.

[Chorus]

. . .


Ha this remind me of summer
I'm talking 'bout an English summer
You know where it rains

(All night long)

Yeah, but this remind me of you
We don't need to be, just a memory

(If you wanna flow I'll walk away)

It was last love, not the first time
For you to notice me
'Cause you had yours and I had mine
It still wouldn't find to see
If it makes sense, I would make sense
When you put your lips on me
And the feeling, get to feel this
Like this was meant to be

Nah I, but apparently you only get one chance
And I, this is something I may want to last
But we both got other things we got to do
And then, that don't stop this girl from feeling you

Loving in the rain 'til the sun comes out, all night long
Loving in the rain 'til the sun comes out, all night long
Loving in the rain 'til the sun comes out, all night long
We don't need to be just a memory
If you wanna flow I'll walk away

But this is nothing but the real that I speak to you
Feel how I feel for you, nothing's quite real but you
I'm changing up my expectations
This ain't changing my person oh it's just relations
And uh, I tried to tell me that a couple times
But you seemed to get into my heart and write a rhyme
And you, a future with a capital F
And I wonder how I got into this beautiful mess
Now I, now this is something I would never do
But you, colour my heart in different shades of you
I guess we, we just gotta see where this will go
I know, if you're willing I'm gonna wait for you
To go with me
For to you to go with me

Loving in the rain 'til the sun comes out, all night long
Loving in the rain 'til the sun comes out, all night long
Loving in the rain 'til the sun comes out, all night long
We don't need to be just a memory
If you wanna flow I'll walk away

This could take a whole lotta time
Cause I feel your love in oh so many ways
With you
We could be together
In the rain
You and me together
Ok
You and me together
Oh baby I'm gonna wait
To go out in the rain

Loving in the rain 'til the sun comes out, all night long
Loving in the rain 'til the sun comes out, all night long
Loving in the rain 'til the sun comes out, all night long
We don't need to be just a memory
If you wanna flow I'll walk away

Loving in the rain 'til the sun comes out, all night long
Loving in the rain 'til the sun comes out, all night long
Loving in the rain 'til the sun comes out, all night long
We don't need to be just a memory
If you wanna flow I'll walk away

Loving in the rain
Leave your girl
All night long
I'll leave my man
Loving in the rain
We don't need no friends
All night long
Just hold my hand

Loving in the rain 'til the sun comes
Leave your girl
Out all night long
I'll leave my man
We don't need to be, just a memory
If you wanna go I'll walk away
Said I'm on the way

. . .


I feel like, somethin' different,
(Ha) Yo! Huh!
Feelin' good up here...
Hope you are too...
Besides...
But there's always someone
Who's gotta say somethin' stupid,

Da da da, gone, gone,

I see you watching me,
(I see you watchin')
And I know your looking deep in my face
(All in my face)
I just can't wait, can't wait to be found
But I ain't going out no way
You see me rising higher
(Higher)
And you try to put some news in my way
But I'm bigger and stronger,
Guess I'll go faster,
And you'll never gonna get in my way-ay-ay

So...
Go, go, go, Gone,
Uh-uh,
Ahhh uh-uh ahhh uh-uh
So...
Go, go, go, Gone,
Uh-uh, ahhh uh-uh

(Nothin' to me)
And I'm still gonna be where I wanna be,
If I dye my hair orange (orange)
Never say I'm sorry (Sorry)
And I'm never gonna change for you-ou-ou-ou
All I know is I do my best
(I do my best)
And the best as far as I can see
See God gave me honours, and he made me who I am,
And the best is good enough for me-ee-ee-ee-ee

So...
Go, go, go, Gone,
Uh-uh,
Ahhh uh-uh ahhh uh-uh
So...
Go, go, go, Gone,
Uh-uh, ahhh uh-uh

Shouldn't hate stuff puttin' out that negative energy
Bring back the love

You have nothin' nothin' good to say,
(Keep it shut)
Keep it shut
(You shouldn't hate)
You shouldn't hate...

Bring back the love, I said bring back the,

The first time I met you
You were so quiet and cool you

If love had a face then it's you
Made for me how did you know
The best type of love who must have led you to hurt me
If there's anything I can do
Let me know I'll be a fool
But don't take advantage cause I will hate to have to leave you

Takes me beyond feeling human

When we're alone it's beautiful
Makes me nto want to leave you no
Everything is you

Estelle:

Do you believe in love?
Yes I believe in love
I believe its because I’ve tried
And if you know anything

Somehow you got to be satisfied
Oh its also changed

Find a way to pass the time
While I sit here waiting on you

Able to read my mind
Oooh

Without nobody talking
So I might as well go out alive

Just as soon as you get a chance

Love me
(Love me baby)
Please
Say I Love me
(Love me baby)
Pretty Please

Estelle:

Just cuz it clears
It don't mean that it's over

While my lights on

When the lights go down
What you know about me?
What you know

But I'm from London
Call me the Big Ben
I grew up in west
Specifically West Kendall
Now let me slow it down
A little bit so you can feel me
Cuz where I'm from there
Wasn't shit to do
No not really
Who'da thought
That it would happen
This London chick start rappin
Now American boys are chattin
All about me wit my wicked accent
And yes I stays on my grind
You go get yours I'll get mine
Don't worry bout it

No kids thus far myself
I'm scared of the pain
I might not do well as a mom
Still the work gets done
Yes I worry bout bills
But a change gonna come
I wanna play rapper
Rock the bells
But I only gotta stack
For the little estelza
You don't wanna know
Bout them days that go
I got pain overload
You don't wanna know
About the things I know
I just cant take no more
Most of the time
Though I gotta stay on
I gotta stay real
I gotta stay strong
You know I'm heavy
Cuz I roll with gem
So I'm gonna be fresh
When the lights come on
Come on

Oh this is my song
