Sandra Lyrics by Alan Z, Jason Chu

Face Value

2021

[Chorus: Sirena]
What an honor just to be Asian
Not your model minority
[Verse 1: jason chu]
From gold skin to cinnamon
Green cards and citizens
Airlifts, university scholarships, and immigrants
Dark hair and irises
Young without collagen
Whatever we playing at you know we be killing it
Humble but dominant
Grew up an acrobat
Flip from laundromat to graduate to diplomat
Called Chinamen by the ignorant
The wise they call them gentlemen
Y'all know what time it is
I love my people how we haggle at the markets
Take a family vacation to the outlets
Eatin' out is not a question if we 'gon split
Or if anyone takes the last portion, no
I love the smеll of salt and sweet
Gold in the air like the sun off thе beach
I love the stories that make us so unique
You can copy the food but the soul is outta reach
It's an honor
[Chorus: Sirena]
What an honor just to be Asian
Not your model minority
[Verse 2: Alan Z]
Bruce Lee and Sun Tzu, it's an honor to be like
Always treated as foreigners, never honorary white
Not the model minority, I'm the model for the plight
Poster boy for change, Larry Itliong the way I strike
From the cloth of Sessue Hayakawa, Anna May Wong
Now kids are playing BTS and putting anime on
They wouldn't show Jet and Aaliyah kiss
On film, but what for?
But now Andrew banging Molly
No need to feel insecure
Never found no gold mountain but we made the gold open
Superstars on camera, Hollywood is where we'll go pro in
Word to Eddie Huang let our stories be televised
Asian pride to Asian raps, to Asians Never Die
This is Asian America, not to be fetishized
From the Crazy Rich to Crazy 88, we steady rise
In an industry that shun us cuz of pre-conceived biases
We'll win because we're Asian-American, not in spite of it
[Chorus: Sirena]
What an honor just to be Asian
Not your model minority
[Verse 3: Sirena]
I've been thinking about the times that I didn't speak
The times that I held back
Now I know, that it's my time and I can't be weak
I'm moving from my past
[Chorus: Sirena]
What an honor just to be Asian
Not your model minority
It's an honor just to be Asian
It's an honor just to be Asian
It's an honor just to be Asian
[Outro: Alan Z]
Word to Sandra, oh
Don't let anybody take away your pride
Or what you stand for
It's an honor
[Outro: jason chu]
We been through the fire, we been through the cold
We been building for one hundred and seventy years
East, Southeast, and South Asian-Americans
And we're still going, it's an honor, thank you
