Yeah yeah, uh, Bohan

___, I feel you though

I feel you, man

Let me get this off my chest, yeah

As I get older, I learn just how very little I know

About this life and even less about myself

I'm grateful for chances to grow

Mama, she raised me all by herself

My daddy, he never showed me the ropes

In my darkest hours and my proudest moments

It was music that gave me the hope, yeah

My step-father and mama couldn't understand why

I was fascinated with the music that came from the black culture

That even after I graduated I stuck with it

Oh yeah, they had all their reasons to doubt it

But they could tell that this music had gave me an outlet

And they could tell it gave me confidence

It gave me way more than just common sense

Taught me some values that shaped the man that I am

It truly felt heaven sent

Brought me friends that done held it down to this very day

I know they gon' love me for life

Brought me to places around the world I only dreamed of

All from the words that I write

It was through music that I had learned

The concept of unconditional love

When other Chinese kids didn't really fuck with me cuz I was weird and rappin too much

No Pokemon, no Magic cards

I was tryna spit magic bars

The white kids couldn't understand me

They just thought I was actin hard

Shit, it was black kids that first showed me love

Gospel choir, where I learned to trust

Mr. Reed from Jubilee, nurturing my passion

A blessing from God

He put me up on my first stage

Black was the angel

Blessing me throughout my worst days

Forever I'm thankful

不知道————这个问题我们的————是社么，对吧？

————这是————————————爱 ————

Yeah, uh

George Floyd, Breonna Taylor

You've seen the news, go on and say the names

Seventeen years in this country now

I seen how the white man played the game

Tried to explain to my relatives

Back in China this here is not the same

As people picking on me just because I'm Chinese

So the virus I'm to blame, nah nah

We weren't sold here as slaves

Murdered and killed er'y day

The color of our skin wasn't made as a weapon against us

I tried to explain that

Yes, we also have been oppressed but

Nah, these shouldn't be compared at all

Cuz when I'm in the wip fucked up and the police pull up, nah I don't get scared at all

What's more frustrating is trying to rally the rappers from overseas

Most of them want to keep it real until times like these you don't hear a peep

Millions made from black culture, you're world famous, you're on world tour

A black square and a PR statement, that's all that you are good for?

But they don't hear me, so I hit the streets

Protesting with no rest

With everything that rap gave to me

It's only right I give mo' back

Been lookin all around, seein all these clowns, gadam it they so wack

Can't believe I called them homies, gadam I get so mad that

I let my emotions spill

But shorty had told me to chill

Maybe to write how I feel

Down in a song cuz it heals

Cuz who am I to judge right or wrong?

I'm just a kid with a pen

Hoping to change the world a rhyme at a tmie

But change, it starts from within, yeah
