[Intro: Andrew Sam]
It wasn't always like this
Movies got you thinking... that Asian American men aren't attractive
But it's just white insecurity
[Hook: Andrew Sam]
European Americans insecure
They used media to take away our allure
The times have changed, now they wantin' us again
Yoshi Sudarso, Yul Kwon, and Donnie Yen

[Verse 1: Andrew Sam]
Sessue Hayakawa proved that we were sex symbols
Seducin' white women, and doing it so nimble
Had it down to an art, where getting girls was simple
Actin' in the movies, got respect for his people
But enough of the films, let's talk about reality
A bad predicament weighed down by heavy gravity
Asian immigrants came to the US to make quick cash
Worked the worst jobs 'cause the racists hated and bashed
We just wanted to send money to family back home
Men with our women banned, livin' in the US alone
So every Friday night, the Pilipino Manongs
Got their suit and tie to meet white girls in dance halls
The way they spitting game had the white ladies attracted
That upset the insecure white men, they wouldn't have it
In the following decades, things would become tragic
As insecurity made white men go hard at it

[Verse 2: Andrew Sam]
They were cranking out films with Asian men a certain way
Scrawny and nerdy, feminine enough to be gay
Socially awkward, and way too shy to socialize
Spoke with broken accents, played by both Asian and white guys
People fear that Asians do things better than they do
White men insecure, the conclusion I came to
Spat game better than they did / And they just had to hate it
We were stealing their girls, so clearly we were hated
History demands attention, now's the time to pay it
Stereotypes aren't true 'cause we attractive as Asians
We had it few, had it bad with representation
But no more white media, it's the truth they're facin'
It's time to let 'em know that we're all normal as guys
Our women are not sex slaves, our men are not deprived
So screw them and all of their Asian stereotypes
'Cause now we're changin' what they thought they knew about life
