American Beauty - Locksmith, Marc E. Bassy

Bright eyes, sky is the limit

From the high rise to the country road

Whoa!

I will say this truly

Life ain’t no movie

But she’ll make me work for a heart of gold

My American Beauty.

Whoa!

My American Beauty.

Whoa!

She’s my American…

My American Pie.

Such a beauty but truly no comparing you.

I

Know these other dudes be lying they’re just married to pride

You lucky I’m not your typical American guy

For whatever kind of position you’ve embarrassed the try

For whenever we get together though your parents deny

Whether you California live or you chillin' in Chi

I stay true.

That’s a typical American lie

My bad

I know you got me, even when gets rocky

Truly you’re one of one.

These other bitches is copies

Sort of stuck in a daze.

No other woman can stop me

Sort of stuck in my ways, but really look where it got me

(uh) The bright lights

(uh)the big city

(uh) she stay down

(uh) and ride with me

(uh) Ain’t got to front y’all can clearly see, could be anywhere in the world

but she’s her with me

With those…

Bright eyes, sky is the limit

From the high rise to the country road

Whoa!

I will say this truly

Life ain’t no movie

But she’ll make me work for a heart of gold

My American Beauty.

Whoa!

My American Beauty.

Whoa!

She’s my American…

Am I devoted?

(Yes)

Without motive?

(Yes)

When you around, nobody else Imma notice.

(Unless)

You give me reason I’m out, an uneven amount

A side look, and that’s the reason I doubt

I’m not tryin' to put you in pressure

But I see what it’s ‘bout

But I feel a different impression

When it’s me and you out

And you show me a little love

I purchase it like a drug

Got the whole world hooked

And that’s the reason we out

And, I sort of feel like a fiend

Sort of feel like it’s mean

She flirting with other lads

It’s killing my self-esteem

It’s killing my confidence

I’m hanging on by a string

My beautiful nightmare

My bright American Dream

(And uh) She’s so bad

(But uh) She’s so pretty

(And uh) She’s shut down

(But uh) I’m so privy

Y’all can hate, but it’s clear to me

She’s been everywhere in the world but she’s still with me

With those…

Bright eyes, sky is the limit

From the high rise to the country road

Whoa!

I will say this truly

Life ain’t no movie

But she’ll make me work for a heart of gold

My American Beauty.

Whoa!

My American Beauty.

Whoa!

She’s my American…

I feel a chill when I turn from her

Feel it build.

I’m concerned for you

Feel like these jealous Try to keep you on your toes

But there’s a lot we can learn from you

Word from you in a text

You’re not one to be controlled

You’re not easily impressed

I’m not tryin' to get you home

I just want to see you blessed

Karma don’t understand

That’s why you always seem stressed

They try to judge you for the things you’ve done

Like they never been hurt, never been young

Regardless of circumstance, still advance

But it’s not a movie

You’re my American Beauty
