America Is My Home – Pt. 1 Lyrics By James Brown And The Famous Flames

    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
