letra de dear asian kids - bandy andy

[verse 1]
asian boy
watching tv on the couch in his pajama flannels
ain’t seen a face like yours on every single channel
hollywood will try to tell you you can’t hold a candle
to these other men that’s handsome, stick to the piano
and if they do, you know the light in which they will draw you
use you as comedic relief and just ken jeong you
let me tell you, do not let that go straight to your psych
you are more than yellow skin, small eyes

asian girl
fetishized as the quiet race
less rowdy make you more attractive in the sp-ce
of white america
they got yellow fever and they wanna marry ya
but you can’t take that, show that you ain’t submissive and make a
point that you’re a queen, you got your own decrees
and that you are a force to behold still
that you don’t fit in no box, square or circle

[chorus]
asian boy, asian kid
i am sorry when they said that you ate your dog’s ribs
asian girl, asian kid
i am sorry when they -ssumed you spoke mandarin
asian boy, asian kid
growing up always felt just a little different
asian girl, asian kid
always looked at us like we kinda foreign

my community commodity for a tattoo on your motherf-cking arm
white girl don’t see the harm in dressing chinese to prom
i ain’t got no words
the headlines write themselves on their own

i remember first time i dropped a verse back in high school
this dude said i was pretty good for an–asian guy, so
hmm..
i learned that label would follow like i’m getting signed
and i grew up with that kinda internalized

one kid ain’t believe my family had the f150
he said we only own one type of car: the honda civic
or this man on the plane was really confusing my uncle
after he said “english?” to the women across the aisle
i was p-ssed he -ssumed he couldn’t speak it, i stayed quiet
he mocked him openly and didn’t even try to hide it
at that moment i wanted to riot
make a scene and get dragged off like united

asian boy, asian kid
i am sorry when they said that you ate your dog’s ribs
asian girl, asian kid
i am sorry when they -ssumed you spoke mandarin
asian boy, asian kid
growing up always felt just a little different
asian girl, asian kid
always looked at us like we just kinda foreign
