American (feat. The Cast of RuPaul's Drag Race, Season 10)

I am American, American
I am American, American

My, my, my, my country 'tis of thee
These are all my friends, we are a family

Bonjour
Curtains up with the lights flashing bright
The number one showstopping diva here for your delight
(Life, liberty, and me)
Serving face and dressed to the nines
Come on, give me my encore, baby, it's showtime

Turning looks, stunting pretty
I'm the bitch from New York City
Playing at the parties and I know that I am carrying
I might be an Aquarian but

I am American, American, American
I am American, American
The red, white, and blue
I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm-American, American, American
I am American, American, just like you too

Her name was etched in sorrow, but now it's blasted in lights
With beauty that can blossom out of dark, cold nights
Her quest to find her brightness through her darkest day
American dreams are built on words we dare not say

She's you and them, she is me and him
She's the stars and stripes flying high
Red, white, and blue, she is me and you
She's American through and through

I am American, American, American
I am American, American
The red, white, and blue
I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm-American, American, American
I am American, American, just like you too

Eureka, you found it
Watch me smile and watch me slay
'Cause I'm living for my true self everyday
It's not about your color, gender, or size
But if we come together, we can rise
I came from nothing, made me wanna scream
But I fought for my piece of the American Dream
You can be a stripe and get in line
Or be a star and not be defined

Come on y'all, live free
I'm the elephant queen, what are you gonna be?

I am American, American, American
I am American, American
The red, white, and blue
I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm-American, American, American
I am American, American, just like you too

Little boy from Tennessee
Meant for more, Top Four
Hey, you there, now pay attention to me
We fought for our right to love and be who we be
We will not be silenced and I won't sit down
I'm gay and proud, might not be loud, but I found my sound

Kids called me names and tried to tear me down
But I had big old dreams, bigger than my small town
Now here I am with Mama Ru
American, just like you

I'm-I'm-I'm-American
I am American
American, American
I am American
Just like you too
