And no, I've been to MIA
And no, I ain't been to MIA
And, no, I ain't been to MIA.
I heard that Cali never entered New York’s auto way.
And, no, I ain't been to MIA.
I heard that Cali never rains and New York's wide awake.
And, no, I ain't been to MIA.
I heard that Cali never entered New York’s heart awaits.
And, no, I ain't been to MIA.
I heard that Cali never rains and New York's wide awake.
I heard that Kylie never rains and New York's hard to wake
(Later)
Speakers looking fresh today, I'm loving those chateaus
I heard that Cali never rains and New York's wide awake
(Later)
Sneakers looking fresh to death, I'm loving those Shell Toes
I really want to configure with you
I really want to come kick it with you
I'll show you to my best friend
OR
I'll show you to my bedroom
I'll show you to my brethren
Look at this peacock, tell me he's broke
Look at this pea coat, tell me he's broke
Take me on a zipline, love to cross the bay
Take me to your house, love to stay out late
Take me on a trip, I’d love to go someday
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
Take me to Brooklyn
Take me to Broadway
Take me to Majorca
Love to see LA.
Take me to New York
I'd love to see LA.
Take me to New York to watch the CIA
Take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A.
Take me to the Yukon, love the CLA
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA
Take me to yo'home
Take me to yo'hood
You'll be my American bull
You'll be my American boy
