RuPaul - American Lyrics






I am American, American
I-I-I am American, American

My, my, my, my country 'tis of thee
These are all my friends, we are a family
Hey, hey, hey, despite what you think
This is who I am and who I wanna be
(I wanna be)

Everybody came here wantin' to be free
New York to California, sea to shining sea
Everybody came here wantin' to be free
New York to California, sea to shining sea
Everybody, everybody, everybody
(Oh, oh, oh)

I am American, American, American
I am American, American, Red, white, and blue
Am-Am-Am-Am-Am-American, American, American
I am American, American, just like you too

You-ou-ou, you got the right
Stand up for yourself, we've just begun to fight
Ain't no way we're going back in time
Forward to the future baby, yours and mine

Everybody came here wantin' to be free
New York to California, sea to shining sea
Everybody came here wantin' to be free
New York to California, sea to shining sea
Everybody, everybody, everybody
(Oh, oh, oh)

I am American, American, American
I am American, American, Red, white, and blue
Am-Am-Am-Am-Am-American, American, American
I am American, American, just like you too

I am American, American
I-I-I am American, American
I am American, American
I-I-I am American, American, I

I am American, American, American
I am American, American, Red, white, and blue
Am-Am-Am-Am-Am-American, American, American
I am American, American, just like you too
Am-Am-Am-Am-Am-American, American, American
I am American, American, Red, white, and blue
I am American, American, American
I am American, American, just like you too

RuPaul American Comments
  1. N.... ....

    I think Eureka should win, she slays bitch!

  2. T.... h....

    Aquaria's moves are something straight from Dancing with the Stars. So elegant!

  3. S.... S....

    Aquaria ❤️❤️❤️

  4. h.... m....

    Very catchy song! I love it <3 I love watching Rupaul's Drag Race.

  5. g.... t....

    Asia not having an intro line makes her kinda disappear in the performance.
    Aquaria: Bonjour
    Eureka: Eureka, you found it
    Kameron: Little boy from Tennessee, meant for more, top four

  6. M.... X....

    Aquaria best verse 👏🏻

  7. S.... x....

    *MY OPINION* It's so annoying when queens decide to write sappy and deep lyrics like Eureka and Kameron, it's not rupauls congeniality race. That's why I prefer Aquaria's verse, she decided to sing about her skills which made her come across as arrogant and she DELIVERED.

  8. F.... B....

    I Love the song

  9. G.... ....

    The category is dancer is in this video. He's my favourite

  10. j.... ....

    obsessed with Aquaria's verse

  11. j.... m....

    kameron just gives me life.

  12. S.... V....

    Hát rất hay

  13. S.... V....

    Mọi người hát hay quá

  14. b.... ....

    coming back to cry over aquaria 😭 she ATE THIS ALL UP

  15. t.... E....

    Am I the only one who thinks that Kameron has a beautiful voice

  16. J.... C....

    Love this one. Asia choreography is great.

  17. W.... p....

    To me this is one of the best performances of the entire Ru Paul's Drag Race Herstory! ❤😍 love love love!

  18. c.... 1....

    I've never related to a queen as much as kameron because as a fellow quiet person who always got asked why are you so quiet i really appreciate kameron getting so far into the competition but I really wanted her to win

  19. A.... H....

    all these final four queens are fabulous...but when Aquaria served Cyd Cherise realness--- she won!!!

  20. p.... m....

    eureka: exists
    michelle: aAAHAAaaAAHAAaaaAh

  21. d.... ....

    Honestly I like Asia’s sponge look better than Monets

  22. f.... ....

    Y’all can’t lie... you know you wanted to learn Asia’s dance

  23. T.... H....

    Asia’s verse gives me goosebumps

  24. C.... V....

    Who else loves the sound of a marching band at the end

  25. A.... D....

    Tbh Kameron really killed it.

  26. L.... Z....

    I thought she said "I might be an aquarium"

  27. S.... i....

    This is so much better than Super Queen and Queens Everywhere

  28. K.... T....

    Lets be honest this might be the best "final four" song ever <3

  29. D.... L....

    Eureka me encanta ❤️✨

  30. G.... L....

    2:50
    Samba

  31. B.... S....

    I didn’t see any weak links in this performance. They all slay the entire number. I really truly liked this a lot!!

  32. T.... R....

    So that laugh from RuPaul at the end there... does anyone else think Ru sounds like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh or is it just me? Haha

  33. C.... S....

    Honest opinion: Eureka > Aquaria

  34. A.... M....

    Nobody:
    Nobody at all:
    Not even the elephant queen herself:
    Eureka: Eureka You found it

  35. T.... ....

    “Its not about your color, gender, or size, but if we come together, we can rise.” Can we all stop hating on Eureka for one second bc her lyrics are actually very deep and meaningful

  36. D.... W....

    *Aquaria : Beautiful*
    *Asia : Talented*
    *Kameron : Lip Sync Assassin*
    *Eureka : O'Hara*

  37. D.... B....

    Anyone 2020 still watching Aquaria’s amazingness?

  38. M.... I....

    As much as I hate eureka her lyrics were good

  39. M.... T....

    Kameron Michaels ... nuff said!

  40. H.... K....

    But I’m Canadian..

  41. B.... D....

    "I am American.... just like you too"

    *I'm lesbian*

  42. S.... L....

    Aquaria is looking like the dora of the Brazilian movie "O Auto da Compadecida"

  43. m.... k....

    i really hated aquaria

  44. S.... T....

    I can't believe Rupaul invented America.

  45. R.... ....

    Chop Eurnnoying from the song and it’ll be perfect

  46. R.... ....

    Chop Eurnnoying from the song and it’ll be perfect

  47. M.... W....

    Rewatching the season, this is where I really believed Aquaria would be the one to take it. She wasn't my personal fav queen on this season but she really killed it here.

  48. A.... f....

    I mean statistically aquaria is the winner but i wanted asia to win so bad. Unfortunaly the butterfly thing make people dislike her or underestimate her.

  49. d.... u....

    They go from best to worst imo

  50. W.... W....

    This was wayyyyy better than that season 11 performance

  51. M.... A....

    🌻💜🌼💙🌹💚🌷❤🇺🇸

  52. D.... B....

    rupaul: americ-
    asia o'hara: brazil look


    brazil is here sis!

  53. K.... L....

    Season 10 was SOOO GOOD!!!!

  54. e.... h....

    im me and her shes me and you me him and you and she

  55. F.... D....

    I love the blond girl's performance!!!! And the fourth one's voice too!!!!

  56. M.... J....

    👏🏻👏🏻Awesome

  57. C.... M....

    I really thought Asia was gonna win the whole thing ngl

  58. J.... R....

    Asia should have been top 3 instead of Eureka :(

  59. H.... C....

    I’m gay and proud might not be loud but I found my sound

  60. t.... ....

    still baffles me that Eureka classes herself as a ‘dancer’, but struggles with all the choreography she’s given🤣

    t.... ....

    Well kennedy davenport also struggles with choreography. Maybe they are just good with freestyle choreo? (The ones they made?)

  61. C.... P....

    An unforgettable season ❣❣❣

  62. K.... G....

    I’m Canadian...


    AND I OOP!

  63. Q.... Q....

    We all know that Darienne Lake is the true elephant queen. 🐘👑

  64. K.... M....

    Aquaria did not miss a beat in the end. Incredible 👏

  65. J.... ;....

    Why is it when aquaria did a kick or jump it played the shady noisies

  66. M.... A....

    Kameron 100% was the best in this
    Her lyrics promoted drag culture and the LGTBQ+ community which for me had the most Impact
    Her singing voice is gorgeous
    She kept up with all her choreography
    Also I loved her outfit in this

  67. J.... B....

    aquaria just looked like a winner all season long and this was no exception

  68. M.... F....

    Aquaria looks like a 20s diva.

  69. J.... X....

    This is one of the best songs. I loved Asias words and Kamerons. All four were memorable.
    "American dreams were built on words we dare not say"... So good!!!

  70. R.... U....

    Kam and Asia really turned it, especially with their voice and lyrics😂

  71. K.... Z....

    No me gusta la parte de la primera jajaja me olvide su nombre. Jajajaajjaajja es la ganadora

  72. A.... K....

    Everyone is talking about Kameron's lyrics, but how are people not giving life to Asia's?? That was straight up poetic.

  73. M.... R....

    I am American, American
    I am American, American
    My, my, my, my country 'tis of thee
    These are all my friends, we are a family
    [Aquaria]
    Bonjour!
    Curtains up with the lights flashing bright
    The number one showstopping diva here for your delight
    Life, liberty, and me!
    Serving face and dressed to the nines
    Come on, give me my encore, baby, it's showtime
    Turning looks, stunting pretty
    I'm the bitch from New York City
    Playing at the parties and I know that I am carrying
    I might be an Aquarian but—
    [RuPaul]
    I am American, American, American
    I am American, American
    The red, white, and blue
    Am-Am-Am-Am-Am-American, American, American
    I am American, American, just like you too
    [Asia O'Hara]
    Her name was etched in sorrow, but now it's blasted in lights
    With beauty that can blossom out of dark, cold nights
    Her quest to find her brightness through her darkest day
    American dreams are built on words we dare not say
    She's you and them, she is me and him
    She's the stars and stripes flying high
    Red, white, and blue, she is me and you
    She's American through and through
    [RuPaul]
    I am American, American, American
    I am American, American
    The red, white, and blue
    Am-Am-Am-Am-Am-American, American, American
    I am American, American, just like you too
    [Eureka O'Hara]
    Eureka, you found it!
    Watch me smile and watch me slay
    'Cause I'm living for my true self everyday
    It's not about your color, gender, or size
    But if we come together, we can rise
    I came from nothing, made me wanna scream
    But I fought for my piece of the American Dream
    You can be a stripe and get in line
    Or be a star and not be defined
    Come on y'all, live free
    I'm the elephant queen, what are you gonna be?
    [RuPaul]
    I am American, American, American
    I am American, American
    The red, white, and blue
    Am-Am-Am-Am-Am-American, American, American
    I am American, American, just like you too
    [Kameron Michaels]
    Little boy from Tennessee
    Meant for more, Top Four
    Hey, you there, now pay attention to me
    We fought for our right to love and be who we be
    We will not be silenced and I won't sit down
    I'm gay and proud, might not be loud, but I found my sound
    Kids called me names and tried to tear me down
    But I had big old dreams, bigger than my small town
    Now here I am with Mama Ru
    American, just like you
    [RuPaul]
    Am-Am-Am-Am-Am-American
    I am American
    American, American
    I am American
    Just like you too

    Aquarius here to 💋💛💋❤💋💚💋💜💋💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  75. c.... ....

    all i'm saying is that aquaria is talented, but her attitude... kameron or asia deserved to win.

  76. M.... B....

    I ain’t gonna lie. This is good. I like pageant queens but here. The new youth has a better vibe. Not all the pageant drama. These are good kids who seem smarter. Also I like how they sing and things. The Tennessee kid was awesome. Good stuff.

  77. M.... A....

    ❤💋🇺🇸

  78. J.... V....

    That’s why aquaria won

  79. P.... E....

    Kamerons verse gives me life

    Asia looks so beautiful!

  81. I.... S....

    my dad heard it is as "a meerkat" instead of "american" 😂😂😂

  87. G.... l....

    Eureka ♡

  88. I.... a....

    Nobody:

    Eureka: 🐘

  89. M.... H....

    Asia was kinda just there. She didn’t even fit in with red white and blue costumes. She kinda flunked at the end of the season. Edit: Kameron didn’t have red white and blue either but at least it showed something gay and not just something random

  90. R.... L....

    Charisma: Asia O Hara
    Uniqueness: Aquaria
    Nerve: Eureka
    Talent: Kameron Michaels

  91. T.... B....

    This is better than Read you Wrote you. No bad parts, all of them had nice lyrics. The choreography was even more engaging. I could not decide who was the best.
    Aquaria had an incredible choreography, but Kameron and Asia had killer choreos too.

  92. J.... T....

    Autoune fail on Asia's voice at 1:06 ooof

  93. p.... ....

    I started binge watching RuPaul's Drag Race a month ago and finally landed at season 10. I have to say, in this season I love all the candidates a lot. Every exit was hard to take. Kameron especially feels very dear to me, because he is shy. Season 9 was a low for me, Season 10 a high. Can't wait to kick off Season 11.

  94. M.... T....

    0:11 Aquaria

  95. C.... T....

    I was crushed like the butterflies on the stage when Asia just stood there

  96. K.... J....

    Kameron looks like Brooke Lynn Hytes
