Made In America Lyrics - Jay-z

Sweet King Martin, sweet Queen Coretta 

Sweet Brother Malcolm, sweet Queen Betty 

Sweet Mother Mary, sweet Father Joseph 

Sweet Jesus, we made it in America 

Sweet baby Jesus, oh sweet baby Jesus 

I told my mama I was on the come up 

She said, "You going to school, I'll give you a summer" 

Then she met No I.D. and gave me his number 

Ten years later she driving a Hummer 

Niggas hustle every day for a beat from Ye 

What I do? Turn around gave them beats to Jay 

And I'm rapping on the beat they was supposed to buy 

I guess I'm getting high off my own supply 

Downtown mixing fabrics tryna find the magic 

Started a little blog just to get some traffic 

Old folks'll tell you not to play in traffic 

A million hits and the web crashes, damn! 

South Park had them all laughing 

Now all my niggas designing and we all swaggin' 

Ignore the critics just to say we did it 

This ain't no fashion show mothafucka, we live it

Sweet King Martin, sweet Queen Coretta 

Sweet Brother Malcolm, sweet Queen Betty 

Sweet Mother Mary, sweet Father Joseph 

Sweet Jesus, we made it in America 

Sweet baby Jesus, oh sweet baby Jesus 

I pledge allegiance to my Grandma 

For that banana pudding, our piece of Americana 

Our apple pie was supplied through Arm and Hammer 

Straight out the kitchen, shh, don't wake Nana 

Built a republic that still stands 

I'm tryna lead a nation, to leave to my little man's 

Or my daughter, so I'm boiling this water 

The scales was lopsided, I'm just restoring order 

Hold up, here comes grandma, what's up Yiayia? 

What's that smell? Oh I'm just boiling some agua 

No papa, bad Santa 

The streets raised me, pardon my bad manners 

I got my liberty chopping grams up 

Street justice, I pray God understand us 

I pledge allegiance to all the scramblers 

This is the Star Spangled Banner
