James Brown — America Is My Home Pt. 1

Haha Talking 'bout me leaving America You got ta be crazy Man, I like all the nice things, Jack Continental suits and things Looka here Now, I'm sorry for the man Who don't love this land Now black and white, they may fight, ha But if the enemy come We'll get together and run 'em out of sight Now looka here The sun don't come out in rainy weather But when you boil it down, they are still together Now let's not overlook the fact that we are, we are still in reach You got s chance to make it and you got a freedom of speech Say what you wanna, tell 'em how you feel There may be a lot of places, a lot of places that you like to go But believe me, if you get an education you can blow You can hardly blow Now dig this Now you tell me if I'm wrong America is still the best country And that's without a doubt America is still the best country without a doubt And if anybody says it ain't, you just try to put him out They ain't going nowhere, you got a good fight When I tell you one time that I was a shoeshine boy Every word I said, I meant But name me any other country You can start as a shoeshine boy And shake hands with the president It ain't gonna help, you got to have that royal blood to make it And I ain't got nothing royal but me, soul I can't take the chances, I'm gonna stay home Now looka here I got a brand new jet When I need to move, ha A soul brother made it Now it ain't that a groove So looka here Brothers and sisters and friends, dig this So quit your dreaming all night Stop beatin' yourself and get up and fight Don't give up, you might give up, but just don't give out I know if you give out don't give up Just don't quit going, I mean like keep it moving, you know 'Cause if you stop like a ball quit rolling Now, we got tours that carry us from Florida to Rome But you know there's one thing we'll never forget America's still our home Hit it, band God bless America I'm talking about me, too, you know I'm American myself I like that kind of thing Looka here
