Kanye West:
Just another one champion sound yeah 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 pick 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 guy who's just my type. like the way he's speaking, his confidence is peaking. Don't like his baggy jeans but Ima like what's underneath them. And no I aint been to MIA I heard that Cali never rains and New York's heart awaits. First let's see the west end. I'll show you to my bridren. 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 pick it with you. You'll be my American Boy. American Boy

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.
