The Pour It Up singer can be heard saying: “I say, you see, this is the American Dream / Young girl, hustlin' / On the other side of the ocean / She can be anything at all.

“Every breath I breathe / Chasin' this American Dream / We sweat for a nickel and a dime / Turn it into an empire.

“This is the new America / We are the new America.”

The eight-time Grammy Award winner told TMZ what she liked the most about her recent visit to the White House was that her ‘President was black’.

American Oxygen was directed by The Uprising Creative trio Jonathan Craven, Jeff Nicholas, and Darren Craig, who also helmed Rihanna's What Now video in 2013.
