SPEAK Lyrics by Jason Chu

Arrivals

2016

[Jason Chu & Chance Calloway]
Check
Ooh
I don’t tell the Asian-American story
I tell OUR American storIES
In the hopes that one day the people will see glory
Do you feel me?
And if you don’t, that’s cool
But if any one of these words breaks through
And resonates with you (resonates with you)
All the struggles you been through
Pain you thought only you knew (you knew)
This whole life been worth it
Mama birthed me with a purpose, from Chinese restaurants, and nail salons, and into churches (churches)
Been felt worthless
We been felt hurt inside
So if you’re numb
I know that it exists for a defensive service
I ain’t mad at you (I ain’t mad at you)
But, beyond the bitterness that’s been in us
We’re buildin' up these stories
And the world will bear the benefits
We been a mess, but nothing’s been amiss
You gotta break some eggs
Ev'ry time you make an omelette, ahh
I break it apart and put it back together
Like chemo on cancer
I have no answers (I have no answers, yeah)
Just questions that’ll open up topics of discussion
You’ll have to shoot me to shut me up
I ain’t budgin' (I ain't budgin')
And maybe you won’t march or stand
But you can listen and speak
Speak on it, brother
Listen to me speak (Speak on it, brother)
And I’ll listen to you preach
Speak
