I heard this track the other day and can’t get it out of my head. It’s SO catchy and I just love it.
I had no idea who sings it and had to pose the question to Twitter and @Blindcripple came to the rescue. Check out a cool video and the lyrics of “We No Speak Americano” below:
Video: We No Speak Americano by Yolanda Be Cool feat DCUP
Lyrics: We No Speak Americano by Yolanda Be Cool feat DCUP
Comme te po`
Comme te po`
Comme te po` capì chi te vò bene
Si tu le parle ‘mmiezzo Americano?
Quando se fa lammor sotto `a luna
Come te vene `capa e di: “ I love you !? “
fa fa l’americano !
fa fa l’americano !
fa fa l’americano !
fa l’americano !
fa fa l’americano !
fa fa l’americano !
For those of you who know me well enough, you would completely understand why this song speaks to my life lyric by lyric. I have never heard a more appropriate song. Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat – Lucky

yeah
Yeah I’m out that Brooklyn.
Now I’m down in Tribeca.
Right next to DeNiro
But I’ll be hood forever
I’m the new Sinatra
And since I made it here
I can make it anywhere
(Yeah they love me everywhere)
I used to cop in Harlem
All of my Dominicanos (Hey yo)
Right there off of Broadway
Brought me back to that McDonalds
Took it to my stash spot
560 State Street
Catch me in the kitchen like Simmons whipping Pastry
Cruising down 8th street
Off-white Lexus
Driving so slow
(but BK, it’s from Texas!!)
Me I’m out that BedStuy
Home of that boy Biggie
now I live on Billboard
and I brought my boys with me
Say what up to Ta-ta
Still sipping Mai Tais
Sitting courtside
Knicks and Nets give me high-5
N**ga, I be Spiked out
I could trip a referee
…tell by my attitude that I’m MOST DEFINITELY FROM…
[Alicia Keys]
New York!!!!
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
There’s nothing you can’t do,
Now you’re in New York!!!
These streets will make you feel brand new,
the lights will inspire you,
Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New York
