Bebe Rexha – American Citizen Lyrics
Artist: Bebe Rexha
Song: American Citizen
If you were born here, it’s automatic
You got your membership right outta the gate
But if that ain’t you, yeah, it’s not too late
If you were born somewhere else and wanna make a life here
Gotta spend a few years and pass the test
Take an oath saying you love this country the best
Oh, I can see a day when we will celebrate
We’ll celebrate, we’ll celebrate as we say
I am, I am an American citizen
This ain’t just the place I’m living in
I got rights like electing the president
I am, I am an American citizen
Our foundation’s a nation of immigrants
I am an American citizen
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh
We the, the people, come from all over the world
We believe that there’s nowhere better
We are strong when we stand together
And right now in a small-town courthouse, history is being made
There’s freedom welling up in someone’s eyes
‘Cause their dream is being realized
Today could be the day that we, we celebrate
We celebrate, we celebrate as we say
I am, I am an American citizen
This ain’t just the place I’m living in
I got rights like electing the president
I am, I am an American citizen
Our foundation’s a nation of immigrants
I am an American citizen
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)
Oh-oh (and American citizen)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)
Oh-oh
When you’re a citizen, you get the right to vote
When you can speak your mind, whatever floats your boat
You can petition for close family members
To come and live here and be together
You can run for office and lead your crew
But you got some responsibilities, too
If in this country, there’s ever a need
Serve on a jury from overseas
Support and defend the constitution
Taxes you pay are a contribution
For the freedom and liberty
My country, ’tis of thee
I am, I am an American citizen
This ain’t just the place I’m living in
I got rights like electing the president
I am, I am an American citizen
Our foundation’s a nation of immigrants
I am an American citizen
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)
Oh-oh (and American citizen) (I am)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh
