Lyric Living In America
Verse 1: Fresh Kid Ice
There s 8 million stories in every city
And Americans love to watch it on TV
There s gays, lesbians, stripper nymphos
Teenage prostitutes, husbands gone psycho
The haters hate it cause it s too hot for TV
But America rules, nasty as we wanna be
Always #1 across the land
So don t hate Jerry cause he s the man!
With more fight time than HBO
And even Don King should promote talk shows
It t the best thing in years to hit the TV
Cause America s rowdy-rowdy like Master P
Players everywhere love a good talk show
Cause the hoochies get naked like a 2 Live show
So always represent the American way:
Freedom of speech and always gettin paid!
Chorus:
[Living in America!]
[Living in America!] (All the time, station to station)
[Living in America!] (Here to here, across the nation)
[Living in America!] (Got to have a celebration)
Verse 2: Brother Marquis
The ghetto got me caught up in some talk show shhhhh
Now I m on TV to find that my girl was a trick
She did my main man, plus my own band
I had to take a stand and beat the trick bad
Two sisters, that were doin the two brothers
Now they fight cause they was doin each other
The girl posin nude used to be a dude
Outcasted from the family, now they startin a feud
The man cheatin on his wife got caught last night
Cause the girl he was kissin was a transvestite
Got caught on TV where it s too late to fight
Now the whole world knows about his secret life
50-year-old mom, dressed him like a hoochie
The hoodrat pulls a gat on the groupie
Too hot for TV, too much for the movies
Some lady smacked Jerry, say what? Sue me!
Chorus
Bridge:
(Miami! Atlanta G.A.! Chicago! And L.A.!
Houston! And New York City! And don t forget - Cincinnatti!)
[I live in America!]
[I live in America!]
Verse 3
[Kid Ice] No matter how you feel, the stories are real
Showin the world how Americans feel
With home-grown topics and a final thought
They even got hoochies without their bras
Of all the talk shows he s the best by far ...
{Instrumental where there should be a verse}
So set your VCR s if you got to go,
Cause you re living in America with the Springer show!
[Marquis] At the sound of the bell that goes Aw Hell!,
Another knock down, another video sale
All problems solved, all matters scarred
A girl got knocked out her chair upside the wall
More hair-pullin , nail-bitin and people fightin
I love this show because it s so excitin
The people believe what they really see
On tabloid TV, even me!
Chorus
{JER-RY!! JER-RY!! JER-RY!! JER-RY!! JER-RY!! JER-RY!!
JER-RY!! JER-RY!! JER-RY!! JER-RY!! JER-RY!! JER-RY!!}
