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
