Kintsugi - Intellectual

[Verse] - jason chu

Kintsugi, had to go broke to get my gold medal

I'm not special, God just outworks the devil

Test mettle, the bezel is steel

I'm still standin, air cushion my heel

Still rappin, afternoon cat nappin, multiple plane landings then I go out to tell tales

Talk story, got bops for top 40, that glory is still not mine but I'm chill

I'm built

By the blood and will that got spilled

Sis sit in Yuji Ichioka office, that's real

What move needles don't raise pulse

Came on boat, so my people don't wave hop

Strange plots, I believe about half of them

I know what I love, I don't need a fuckin algorithm

I'm still standin - and all of my mans and em

Fruit from the trees, don't forget thе ones that planted em

[Chorus] - Ann Onе

All of my scars

Carry gold

Just get stronger through each storm

Mmmhm

I am so beautiful

We are so beautiful

[VERSE] - jason chu

Generations

Incarcerated

Kelly Lytle Hernandez taught me about our situation

Black bodies, Latinos, Asians and natives

Swapped in and out the system like replacements

Redeye flights, I'm just workin a late shift

Flyin to a city, but it's not for no vacation

Visitin a college but not for matriculation

If it ain't for liberation, I don't consider that an education

Job creation? Our whole lives a background check

Work hard but you still can't buy respect

Dr. Wen Ho Lee, 9 months solitary then release

Government apology don't iron out the crease

White author said to learn some patience

Hard when I see our elders turnin into patients

New cars, Goyards, Asians "crazy rich"?
