andrew sam - intro to aas lyrics

Loading...

china, j-pan, korea, wherever
we asians left our homelands in search of somewhere better
war, imperialism, name it and we’ve faced it
everybody ruined us, we all had to escape it
america gave us hope, and we just had to take it
land of opportunity, we found out that they faked it
land for anglo-saxons, that’s why it was created
people don’t know what’s up, that’s why i have to say it

it started with the poor / heard the us would give more
work hard for the family, who we’d send the money for
but all it was was slave work, abuse by a white man
even if we had sk!lls, english we didn’t understand
that language barrier hindered our job prospects
stuck in ethnic enclaves, and getting no respect
when they got sick of us, they banned our immigrants
stuck here in small numbers, couldn’t become citizens

and after civil rights, / they let families reunite
we’d bring our family over, thinking things’d be alright
but it was a disguise, refugees escaped from war
allowed in the us, mostly to do low wage ch0r-s
they say it was to give a home, but they just wanted more workers
it was their war in the first place, out in vietnam as some lurkers

the first generation, whether they were sk!lled or not
didn’t have the english to ask folks to give ’em jobs
so they told their children, us in generation 2
to study hard in school, it’s the only thing to do
it’s the american dream, but on the asian path
all that did was lead to jokes about how we’re good at math
but you people don’t know, that there’s so much more than that
that we can entertain, like we can act and how we rap
our great sk!lls are denied, ’cause immigrants keep comin’ in
and you look at them, then -ssume we’re never fittin’ in

men make fun of our race, then they shut up ’round the girls
’cause they wanna date ’em, and it makes me wanna hurl
you can’t have it both ways, you people needa show respect
media representation, what more do they wanna get?
whites got all the main roles, while we’re evil or we’re geeks
we’re hypers-xual ladies, just overall we’re weak
that’s how we’re portrayed, but that’s not who we really are
portrayin’ us like that is like sp-ce without the stars
so take what you’ve learned from me, then treat us like we’re you
how you want others to treat you, ’cause we can do it, too
