American Citizen (from the Netflix Series "We The People")

If you were born here it's automatic

You got your membership right out of the gate

But if that ain't you yeah it's not too late

If you were born somewhere else and wanna make a life here

Gotta spend a few years and pass a test

Take an oath sayin' you love this country the best

Oh I can see a day when we

Will celebrate we'll celebrate we'll celebrate as we say

I am I am an American citizen

This ain't just the place I'm livin' in

I got rights like electin' the president

I am I am an American citizen

Our foundation's a nation of immigrants

I am an American citizen

Oh oh

Oh oh

We the the people come from all over the world

We believe that there's nowhere better

We are strong when we stand together

And right now in a small-town courthouse history is bein' made

There's freedom wellin' up in someone's eyes

'Cause their dream is bein' realized

Today could be the day that we

We celebrate we celebrate we celebrate as we say

I am I am an American citizen

This ain't just the place I'm livin' in

I got rights like electin' the president

I am I am an American citizen

Our foundation's a nation of immigrants

Ah yeah yeah yeah

When you're a citizen you get the right to vote

And you can speak your mind whatever floats your boat

You can petition for close family members

To come and live here and be together

You can run for office and lead your crew

But you got some responsibilities too

Defend this country if there's ever a need

Serve on a jury front row seat

Support and defend the constitution

Taxes you pay are a contribution

For the freedom and liberty

My country 'tis of thee

I am I am I am I am

An American citizen

This ain't just the place I'm livin' in

I got rights like electin' the president

An American citizen

Oh I am
