Song | Asian Kids (feat. Tablo (of Epik High), Myk & Dumbfoundead) |
Artist | Kero One |
Album | Kinetic World |
Chorus: | |
Have you ever seen an Asian kid, make a hit and do it quite like this, | |
you ever seen an Asian cat, say a rap and spit it quite like that? | |
have you ever seen an Asian kid, make a hit and do it quite like this, | |
yellow skinned rap reverends. veterans, spit eloquent take two steps back | |
Verse 1 - Kero One | |
its that laundry mat, liquor store, | |
rice rockets, pigeon hole, | |
we pushed in kicked in , pitiful | |
what don’t kill you, its pivotal | |
that elephant in that awkward house, | |
they reticent to talk about | |
these slanted eyes, those random lies, | |
media’s feeding us and walking out, | |
he said I rap dope, but look like William Hung | |
that made me laugh yo what a joke, really was a silly one, | |
but will he hung I mean hang without a username | |
or talking to the hand of a million fans in the middle of a pavilion, | |
an Asian man with a mic in hand this time not math subtracting, | |
accent having , fashion lacking, forget computer hacking, | |
my future passion is lasting, rapping, make music classic, | |
captain I’m packing these beats | |
best believe I’m going out blasting | |
CHORUS | |
verse 2 – tablo of epik high | |
Before i got sick on the mic i remember | |
I used to get picked on like a damn fender | |
a skinny asian boy has many names usually | |
chink, fob, gook and of course bruce lee | |
but on a looseleaf i could unlearn all of that | |
so i wrote profusely and it turned into rap | |
started burning on tracks and i caught flames | |
now Epik High is the shit when you drop names | |
like an unsigned hero making his way | |
i punched and kicked all labels away | |
here to stay, hot like illegal | |
Cross a dating game and bungee, i drop hot singles | |
CHORUS | |
verse 3 – MYK | |
it's the year of the tiger, hands up! | |
for the one who paved the way, brother JK | |
yeah we're all Drunken,' only bangers are bumpin,' | |
from far east to the world keep their fists pumpin' | |
this is the new new school we are the next shit | |
resurrection of Bruce you fools are excess | |
Asiatic, ill-matic, with no static | |
my voice is clear it grips your ears just like it's magic | |
and I thought that we over came, | |
some still silly really talk this way | |
do I really have to double up and | |
pull out the tricks of yesterday just to display? | |
that it's not a game we play | |
to prove that true is how we rap | |
I make this music cause I'm f***n' good at that. | |
Verse 4 – Dumbfoundead | |
it was the year 2000, no asian kids around, | |
none of em' ripping microphones, just timid sittin’ down | |
along came a hero, his name was DFD, | |
at the age of 14 he was killin' the LA scene, | |
he hit the road doing shows, and met cats around the globe, | |
kero in the bay, Blo and MYK at Map the Soul, | |
he later found that there were more of em', brothers of same origin, they saw his face on youtube and emails started pouring in, | |
they exist, asian kids, shredding rappers into bacon bits, | |
another chapter in the history books, but he knows that the next page is his, | |
the pages turn, he waits his turn, just as he thought there he is, | |
chapter 2 now lets begin, the new face of Asian-Americans | |
OUTRO | |
Chinese, Korean kids put your hands up if your feeling this | |
Chinks, gooks, nips, put your fists up if your tired of it! | |
Black, Caucasian kids, throw your hands up if your feeling this | |
Chinks, gooks, nips, put your fists up if your tired of it! | |
latino, Filipino kids, put your hands up if your feeling this | |
Chinks, gooks, nips, put your fists up if your tired of it! |
