ELLE DUPREE — Livin’ In America

[Intro] Mm… yeah Red lights, blue dreams Come closer This America shit feel different at night [Verse 1] City stay loud, sirens sing out of key Windows shake while you pull me to you, slow and deep We make love while the news still playin’ low World on fire, but right now I need your body close Bills on the table, stress on my spine But your hands make me forget the timeline Phone buzzin’ with another headline scare I throw it face down, climb on you, don’t care They sell us freedom, wrapped in gold lies But I find truth when I look in your eyes If this country gon’ fuck me raw At least let me feel safe in your arms [Pre-Chorus] Touch me like tomorrow ain’t promised Say my name like you mean that shit We ain’t got control of much out there But in this room, I feel rich [Chorus] Livin’ in America Skin to skin just to feel alright Livin’ in America Love me deep through the chaos tonight They keep sellin’ dreams, breakin’ trust But baby, right now, it’s just us Rock my body, hold me tight Livin’ in America all fuckin’ night [Verse 2] Red and blue lights flash through the blinds Your breath hitch when my hips start grindin’ They argue power on TV screens But the only vote I need is you wantin’ me Gas too high, rent too cruel But your mouth make me break my rules If the system fuckin’ us anyway I’ma take my pleasure where I can, okay? Bodies protest in the streets all day At night I protest in my own damn way I don’t need a flag or empty pride Just you deep in me while the world collide [Pre-Chorus] Say my name like a dirty truth Hold me like I’m the only proof That love still live in this place Even when faith feel loose [Chorus] Livin’ in America Tryna breathe, tryna feel alive Livin’ in America Fuck the noise, I need you tonight They keep sellin’ dreams, breakin’ trust But baby, right now, it’s just us Rock my body, don’t be nice Livin’ in America all fuckin’ night [Bridge] (Whispered, slow) Tell me you feel it too Tell me you tired like I do If the world gon’ keep takin’ from us Let me take my time on you Hands grip tight like survival Love get physical when hope feel fragile This ain’t escape, this how we cope Fuck the fear — I choose your throat, your hips, your hope [Final Chorus] Livin’ in America Still standin’, still sinnin’ tonight Livin’ in America Findin’ God in the way we collide They can’t police how we touch Can’t tax this heat between us Rock my body, stay right Livin’ in America all fuckin’ night [Outro] Mm… yeah Sirens fade Heartbeat stay
