Overcame
I got a livid feeling pitted in my stomach
I'll probably face the furnace on the day of judgment
Cuz my heart is biased from this urban violence
So I put 10,000 hours into vows of silence
It's what I had to do just to get through school
Black and white the only colors in the photoshoot
I'm big stressed itching now my skins red
Peeling us apart, we say It's just like Dr. King said
Sometimes I wonder if I walked another path
Would I make this kind of music or be working for my dad
My family tried to raise me up but held me back
When I was bussing no discussion I was fearful of the blacks
I got plaques in my room and a chip on my shoulder
Got knocked on my ass now I stand as a soldier
I'm far from a Saint but I'm close to the culture
I quit playing games but this life isn't over
If they don't love us then let em hate
For asian people we overcame
We were shaken but We overcame
We were shaken but we overcame
If they don't love us, then let em hate
For asian people we overcame
We were shaken but we overcame...
We were shaken but we overcame
They beating on us just the other day the homie tried
To help! an elder but they pistol whipped him in the eye
That shit reminds me of a time when I was 13
A white man broke into my home and then he broke me
10 long years I bottled that up
Young heartbreaker just trynna get some
Putting on weight just trynna be seen
Fuck that man I wanna be free
So formless stepped to my own two feet
I'm gorgeous you cannot shake my peace
This moment shows that we overcame
Our onus now I wanna hear you say
If they don't love us, then let em hate
For asian people we overcame
We were shaken but We overcame
We were shaken but we overcame
They say they love us we all the same
They say we made it but who's to blame?
We were shaken but we overcame
We were shaken but we overcame
Anti-Asian race discrimination
Thrown into the pit but my heart is filled with patience
Double edged blade that i swing when I wrote this
When you turn the page are we friends or opponents?
My story of becoming is one of overcoming the hate in my heart
That poisoned my well-being
And to the man who tried to break me as crazy as it sounds
I've gathered enough love for you too
I'll probably face the furnace on the day of judgment
Cuz my heart is biased from this urban violence
So I put 10,000 hours into vows of silence
It's what I had to do just to get through school
Black and white the only colors in the photoshoot
I'm big stressed itching now my skins red
Peeling us apart, we say It's just like Dr. King said
Sometimes I wonder if I walked another path
Would I make this kind of music or be working for my dad

We were shaken but We overcame
We were shaken but we overcame
If they don't love us, then let em hate
