Rise of the American Dragon

New York sky

Old school flame

Call my name

American Dragon (yeah)

Snapback tilted

Board on the curb

Grandpa’s glyphs

Still twist in my words

Skate park king

With a secret burn

Scales in my veins

Every flip, every turn

Classroom daydreams

Desk in the back

Eyes on the window

Mind on the attack

City needs something

They call my phone

I’m Jake, I’m just Jake

Till the power’s shown (woo)

I’m the American Dragon

Heat rise every time that I’m braggin’

Kid in the day, in the night I’m a phantom

Can’t cage flame when it’s born outta passion

I’m the American Dragon

Jump high, let the whole world fathom

From the block to the clouds, I’m blastin’

Say my name, feel the fire, no askin’ (yeah)

Homework open

Hogarth calls

“Yo, there’s a troll

Clawin’ up the mall”

I’m gone in a blur

Locker door slam

Shoes melt concrete

When I’m who I am

Grandma in the kitchen

Stirring old tales

“Boy, stand proud

When you show those scales”

Trying to keep cool

When the hallway’s packed

But my shadow’s long

And it won’t turn back (nah)

I’m the American Dragon

Heat rise every time that I’m braggin’

Kid in the day, in the night I’m a phantom

Can’t cage flame when it’s born outta passion

I’m the American Dragon

Jump high, let the whole world fathom

From the block to the clouds, I’m blastin’

Say my name, feel the fire, no askin’ (hey!)

From Chinatown roofs

To the subway rails

Every brick, every tag

Knows the weight of my scales

If you’re scared of the dark

Then just follow this glow

I’m Jake, I’m that flame

That you already know (already know)

I’m the American Dragon

Heat rise every time that I’m braggin’

Kid in the day, in the night I’m a phantom

Can’t cage flame when it’s born outta passion

I’m the American Dragon

Jump high, let the whole world fathom

From the block to the clouds, I’m blastin’

Say my name, feel the fire, no askin’ (American Dragon)
