He's looking like a loser, won't somebody please save him?
He sounds like pots and pans, won't somebody please rename him
I'm looking up to them 'cause I crave assimilation
All my role models either dead or Not Asian

I'm so not Asian, a whitey boy in disguise
Yellow dot in a field full of snow, sticking out by myself getting nothing but criticized
And I'm in the second generation
Getting stuck in my head like constipation
Working takeout, taking orders
Getting hit with the same conversations
"Where are you from?" "Outside New York." "No where are you actually from?" F*ck
Putting me on trial like I should pull a rickshaw, putting me on trial like I should take my shoes off
Putting me on trial like I've mastered all that kung fu and calculus
I actually suck at both but they'll still assume I've got that shit
Low priority minorities here's another thought to play with
Ridicule an Asian see how much you can get away with 
Mock our look our speech our ways without hesitation on a daily basis
Try to pull that on any other race and they'd be calling you a racist
Told me not to smile cuz it made my eyes look chinky
Gave me my new style now they're calling me a Twinkie
I'm hated on by Chinese folk who say I'm lost and out of touch
I guess both sides don't f*ck with me, so f*ck it all can't get no love
When I was a kid I used to wish I wasn't Asian
Maybe then I could get admiration
Spent my days hating and bleaching myself with the hope that I could escape discrimination
Now I'm not like those Asian kids, they like me now, I'm pretty much white
I look at myself and see acceptance has come at a price

He's looking like a loser, won't somebody please save him?
He sounds like pots and pans, won't somebody please rename him
I'm looking up to them 'cause I crave assimilation
All my role models either dead or Not Asian

Not Asian, they're Not Asian
You're looking stupid 'cause you're acting so Asian
Not Asian, you're Not Asian
We like you better when you're acting Not Asian

Back in the day hop in the Delorian
When I was a grade school kid not fitting in
Awkward and quiet token child, these kids are making jokes and I really ain't get them
Can you see through those eyes man?
Go back to your homeland
I was born here, am I so different
Just because I ain't white don't mean I'm an immigrant
Self loathing is the medicine that we self-prescribe
So we can get by getting stepped on unrecognized, we can get by getting fetished exotified
We can get by if we keep our mouths shut and then reap the rewards as the model minority
F*ck that you can take back all these half-hearted praises you gave to me
Assigned to second rate, too lame to get dates
The whole world's laughing just cry and masturbate
Stay awake at night, sweating bullets, ruminate
On how one day we'll break the ceiling, dominate
No one told me I could be me when I was eight
Asian was a handicap that I learned to hate
Full grown man trying to run from my mistakes
Getting so high til my body levitates
Crash down to earth, that is the gravity of the fucked up situation
A new generation of Jook sing who don't know the language or feelings of appreciation
Looking around I don't know what happened, had dances with Yao and Jeremy
They both broke through and looked like me, time to ball out that's our recipe Jook

He's looking like a loser, won't somebody please save him?
He sounds like pots and pans, won't somebody please rename him
I'm looking up to them 'cause I crave assimilation
All my role models either dead or Not Asian

Not Asian, they're Not Asian
You're looking stupid 'cause you're acting so Asian
Not Asian, you're Not Asian
We like you better when you're acting Not Asian

Just an Asian (no), I'm just an Asian (no)
I'm looking stupid 'cause I'm acting so Asian (no)
Just an Asian (ooo), I'm just an Asian (no)
You like me better when I'm acting Not Asian
