[Verse 1]
Pulled up from Paree, the revolution's spark lit
Coat-tail swishin’, boots hit the tar quick
Came to fight, freedom’s on my wishlist
Flintlock grip, got the aim of a marksman
Cross the seas, I’m a flame in the breeze
King Louis ain’t amused, but I’m here with the keys
Found Washington, said, “Yo, let’s set it ablaze”
On the battlefield, my name's the phrase that stays
[Prechorus]
Not a king, but a knight in the fray
Liberty’s banner, yeah, I’m leadin’ the way
[Chorus]
Lafayette, the name you can't forget
America’s favorite, I’m the best bet
Red, white, blue, yeah, we paid that debt
Got the fight, got the flair, no regrets
[Verse 2]
Rappin’ in tricorns, spittin’ through the gunpowder
Rifles pop, I’m out here shoutin’ louder
French finesse with American grit
Enemies step back when I’m swingin’ the tip
Yorktown bound, we’re cuttin’ the crown
Locked Cornwallis, turned the whole war around
Swag so sharp, could cut a bayonet
Born to be a legend, Lafayette’s the set
