[verse 1]

my roots i’ve come to term with it and back to one korea
unless you being literal then back before pangea
our culture was so beautiful [?]
now i write my name and spell-check like, the h-ll you mean?
back when i was a kid i didn’t get why kids were mean
cross the street and hearin’ “go back to your country.”
everybody sleepin’ while we chase my reckoned dreams
dodging hatin’ bottlecaps, we made it to the green
moved out to a suburb as the only f-ckin’ asians
[?] and cussеd, i’m lucky papa had the patience
knеw if it were me then i would never let him say sh-t
swinging till a body drop just dashin in they faces

[chorus]
man i’m so tired of a red-line
yeah we work for the credit but our names declined
i ain’t worried bout the rain or the sunshine
just whether they care when the ch-nk die
man i can’t know when my heart breaks
if another mass shooting is a bad day
and if they tryna go burn somebody
if you tryna burn somebody, you can burn me

[verse 2]

this ain’t a memoir, no j-panese breakfast
although her mama’s korean, and her dad was from texas
i guess she had to assimilate
we would prolly hesitate
a 50/50 chance of being a loved one, or one you hate
cause where the love at, man
yeah where the heartbeats
swear that y’all want all us if i’m golden where the heartbeat
lackin’ all the empathy they taught in elementary
[?] for y’all to put your hands on me

cause we ain’t do no wrong
scapin’ moral poverty
fight for futures for the family
[?] my tongue
they went and laughed at me
i quit up on my culture, now my grandma cannot talk to me
and it’s embarrassing cause truth is solely honesty
i fell out of my culture
wrote an n/a on “identity”
all this would’ve changed if i had looked up to the future me
begging, pleading, telling him “our culture is a legacy”
took a couple years to see just what it meant to me
celebrate your heritage
no aryan could tell you where they destinied
we went and struggled f-ck a muddle but we won
now we gotta push the pendulum
[chorus]

i’m so tired of a red-line
worked for the credit but our names declined
i ain’t worried bout the rain or the sunshine
just whether they care when the ch-nk die
man i can’t help when my heart breaks
if another mass shooting is a bad day
and if they tryna go burn somebody
tryna burn somebody, they can go ahead and burn me
