Intro:
Look...everything I struggled for, yeah
While knowing that I deserve more, yeah
I'm coming to claim it all
And if they ain't gon give it to me, I'm take it from them
Let's go!
Verse 1:
Prejudice a part of my narrative
A citizen but don't feel American
Singled out because of my heritage
At six years old in Maryland
The only Asian kid in a Hispanic and black
Neighborhood in Takoma Park
My homies' older brothers all in gangs
They kept the Iron, Man, like Tony Starks
Then I moved to Seattle, Washington
Thinking this would be where the drama ends
But they stole my childhood innocence
Bullied everyday by white privilege
All I wanted was to rap at 12 years old
But the white kids picked on me and would tell me
No one would ever love me
Bellevue's hell, with foes
Worse than demons that come after you sell your soul
I knew I just had to get out of this place
I packed up my bags
And moved down to the A
Usain Bolt on tracks, I found out I was made to jump over hurdles
They put around my race
So many obstacles, all because ignorance is blinding your opticals
Clouding your judgment of me, and it's not from dope
If you won't check out my audio, adios!
Chorus:
I don't listen to nobody that don't love me
If you're not gon' put me on or hook me up with money
Tell them get out of my way (aye, aye, aye)
Tell them get out of my way (aye, aye, aye)
Tell them get out of my way (aye, aye, aye) [3x]
(Background: Have you ever been
Hated or discriminated against) [3x]
Tell them get out of my way (aye, aye, aye)
Verse 2:
That way...
Don't compare me to Asian artists, rappers
YouTubers, I'm more like Marshall Mathers
Tell the labels that oversee artists
I'm not JUST for the overseas market
Don't get me started
Evil I can see no (casino), MGM
I'm your Woman Crush Wednesday's MCM
So any emasculation attempts
Will make me more Ruthless, MC Ren
Straight out Decatur
They said I won't make it unless I go K-Pop
But fuck what they say
Cuz Bruce Lee was hated by his own people
When he taught others
That was not of the same race
No safety net
My own people won't catch me
But I can't fall, everything I make's catchy
I don't need to pander (panda), Desiigner is cool but
Ima show my face, Mask Off I'm the Future
In the past I was sick, nobody got it
Now it's contagious when I flow, haters nauseous
Don't say no, put your nose to this product
The male Snow The Product
Cole, Drake, or Logic
I got the same starpower, raw like the hard powder
That the boys Tommy and Ghost sell on Starz' "Power"
My grind similar to theirs, I work all hours
Savage Native
The world is all ours
Chorus:
I don't listen to nobody that don't love me
If you're not gon' put me on or hook me up with money
Tell them get out of my way (aye, aye, aye)
Tell them get out of my way (aye, aye, aye)
Tell them get out of my way (aye, aye, aye) [3x]
(Background: Have you ever been
Hated or discriminated against) [3x]
Tell them get out of my way (aye, aye, aye)
Verse 3:
Racism, hatred I'm facing it
I AM hip-hop, not appropriating it
They digging up dirt to throw my name in it
Not knowing I'm a diamond that came from it
I got the keys, how you the gatekeeper
I feel like a student
That's schooling their teachers
No need for advice I'm not new to this either
I'm God's son but try me and you can get Ethered, boy!
Chorus:
I don't listen to nobody that don't love me
If you're not gon' put me on or hook me up with money
Tell them get out of my way (aye, aye, aye)
Tell them get out of my way (aye, aye, aye)
Tell them get out of my way (aye, aye, aye) [3x]
Outro:
Have you ever been hated or discriminated against?
Have you ever been hated or discriminated against?
Have you ever been hated or discriminated against?
Have you ever been hated or discriminated against?
I have...
