[Intro: Alan Z] Rest In Peace to the victims Of the Atlanta shooting this past March We miss you This cycle has to end [Verse 1: Alan Z] Yellow Peril's the fear that one day the East overtakes the West No Model Minority when we pose as a racial threat Afraid of a Takeover like the Blueprint that Jay done set Got them scared at the thought of power, shifting to Asia next In-the-1800s, they hunted us all through riots and lynchings Hid these massacres from history books to silence the victims Hate is captured in imagery, peep the Statue of Liberty Faces Europe, away from Asia with her back to us literally So they paint us as the face of the enemy Made us the scapegoat like in 1982 When they beat Vincent Chin to death A Chinese man they thought was Japanese But they ain't get no sentencing Their bail set at only $3k, they set them free Ain't nothing changed, they're attacking our elders Racists justify this violence, rather gaslight than help us It's sickening, the whataboutisms along with the eyerolls Hate crimes ain't start with this virus It's just our trauma went viral [Chorus: Htet] Through the stormy weather We can make it through But they called it "Yellow Peril" Harmonize our efforts We can make it through But they're afraid, Yellow Peril [Verse 2: jason chu] My cousin on a green card, she hold it close to her chest Don't know when side eyes turn into public threats My body tells a story of immigration and theft Exploitation running deeper than the national debt Yes, cold sweat cause they know we got next Edward Said warned about the rising fear in the west Started with the posters that they used to paint us as pests Associated Chinatowns with perils, rodents and mess Asian food is delicious, they couldn't compete So the FDA tried to ban the use of MSG From Fu Manchu to Dr. Wen Ho Lee I see history repeats, Asian bodies lyin' in the streets They lyin' on us so we have to lionize us They view us with the bias, so the jokes turn into crimes And all my people are not quiet though they keep tryin' to silence It didn't start with the virus, The violence just went viral Yeah [Chorus: Htet] Through the stormy weather We can make it through But they called it "Yellow Peril" Harmonize our efforts We can make it through But they're afraid, Yellow Peril
