the lunar collective - what do i do (with all this heritage?) lyrics

[chorus]
what do i do with all this heritage?
thanks to my jewish asian parentage
i’ve got a lot to hold, the question’s age+old:
am i nothing but parts of a whole?
what do i do with all this heritage?
right from the womb, been changing narratives
how do i carry it all? what’s the protocol?
i’ve got no clue, what do i do?
what do i do?

[instrumental solo]

[chorus]
what do i do with all this heritage?
go on the news or get a therapist?
how do i choose between these two legacies
without crushing my ancestors’ dreams
what do i do with all this heritage?
outdated views and false comparisons
how do i prove i’m not confused or a fraud
and what if it’s true?

[bridge]
i’m sick of being special, of proving peoplе wrong
of losing hope that someday i’ll find somewhеre i belong
the pamphlet kid, the party trick
smiling through my t++th to seem normal and nonchalant
can we skip to the perks? the best of both worlds?
i can laugh, and kvetch, and age in reverse
if i gotta choose i’ll do whatever i want
except digest dairy
[chorus]
cuz i’ve got all this heritage
asian and jewish and american
i’ve got a lot to hold, it’s mine to unfold
i am more than a fraction, i’m whole
what do i do with all this heritage?
cuz i refuse to choose, to cherry+pick
so i will take an oath to honor them both
better make room

[outro]
cuz that’s what i’ll do
that’s what i’ll do
that’s what i’ll do
that’s what i’ll do!
