(“Go back to China! Go back to China. Get out of my face! You get out of my face! You fucking chink...”) (chorus/hook) they tell me go back where you came from but these people they don’t know my name you know we all go see same sun even if we go back where we came (even if we back where we came from) (even if we go back) I put a lot of work in with the hope i be distinguished these cats all surprised that i even speak english i color out the lines so you know that we in this i been this, you been that, been sick but not whack, dig in to my roots when i write don't believe in the hype, take the lead on the mic if i speak complete, no feats are weak i wanna walk the talk with my feet, i speak put my hands in the soil where my people bleed we don't wanna wake up to another sad morning if i could cop a whip, you know it’d be mad foreign rather take a trip, your flight is now boarding I’m bored of these hoards that record for the main stream i came from america, alienate an asian who blazing no model character there’s people struggling who see the true cause life moving quick, no time to catch paws life full of tricks, i see the true Oz wanna make it out alive, don’t follow no mirage im working on the flaws, respect that and pause (chorus/hook) See i came from the bridge, growing pains in the bridge where cats will take aim, and shame how you live blood and veins in the bridge but it seemed my people never really came from the bridge my culture, i’ll coach ya We tryna maintain how to live so i'm about to go peace…(where you going?) right back to the East if for only ONE reason, to be back with my peeps where TWO USD cop a feast in the streets and people throw bones, trash, talk, smoke, eat in the streets you could peep how we eat but that’s just food for thought. See I can’t get caught brainwashed and bought, chains off we brought to assimilation nation working these long days, while the bank account wasting for certain people, hurting while working at dream chasing my fam in this land for four generations more liberation, self determination, more innovation bringing it back to basics fear, you must face it life, you can’t waste it dream, you gotta chase it that’s basic (chorus/hook) what do you know? where will you roam? we all traveling off in the zone

(what’s going on man? What’s happening? I know you got a lot on your mind. Let’s go) I’m chilling at the crib, blowing on a bliz Got one day off then back to the biz Capitalist thoughts affect how we live But they don't pay us workers, enough to go purchase The product so worthless, I cursed it, but how fucking perfect I still need a dollar. Worked 12 long hours so I’m sweating in my collar, Cooking up a plate for a big bad baller, But i'm still good, still could get trapped into thinking dollar bills would save a sinking ship? She bites her bottom lip See i gotta work a night shift. Wanna see what life is so i light this, then i write this put my whole heart where the mic is. What’s righteous? Is it right if, We work for thieves at the top. Like please can it stop, no breeze when it’s hot But keep your head up Even when the road seems long Like you can’t go on Never let up. People seemingly fed up Bout time we get up. So let the beat bang if you vibe with this. And maybe, baby we could take a ride to this. Been 8 long days, just to make more pay No salary but hourly suitable least I got a girl that's beautiful And she know. We know Love live deep within the struggle. You people in a bubble. Try to liberate the people? That get you into trouble. People chanting in the streets. No justice, no peace. The ground below my feet But the sky I never reach. So I’m riding on these beats (so I’m riding on these beats) (yo, like, you gotta reach for what you want. I feel you man. Just keep pushing. Looking for that freedom.)

(chorus/hook) If you wanna find love, keep your eyes up Never care about what they say If you wanna rise up, keep your mind up Never let them go and stop your way See Jet was fly as fuck, but Aaliyah never noticed Me and my yellow brothers, we always been the lowest See the women, oh they talk about the finest yellow lotus But as men we never noticed, so the weight up on my shoulders Like tho I got a crush, but What a shame I never told her Cos who'd ever thought, any girl would like me sober To my brother, Keep your head up see the fight is never over Don't believe in what they told ya She wanna see my cobra? put your ass into a coma, Baby know that I'm a soldier I would die for u, Ride for you, no question that's what I would do No stressin, I would lie for you No limit to what I could do No kidding, they paint me as a villain But I paint another vision and the pain is all that's missing Now I'm sipping on a mission Tryna get another kiss in I don't follow premonitions In her pussy I been spittin, Fuck you dissing don't really give a listen Plain and simple y'all trippin (chorus/hook) See i got a lot of doubts with the way that we portrayed I'll never be American the way that I was made First crush I ever had I was in the seventh grade Never thought that maybe Allison would wanna see my wang Fuck a passive little nerd, nah I'll never be the same Why i cheated on my ex? cos she didn't wanna bang All these girl to entertain, smooth talking with my slang Thinking Ima make a change, in the way that we displayed But there's no love up in the game Only trouble to my name And all these numbers, broken rubbers can't remember what's her name? Leaving Coco, no Yoko, Late November in the rain But passion quickly fade, and December quickly came And I was back up to my ways Running back into the maze Thinking back into the days When I was whack and had no game don't act like you amazed When the fact is that a dame give you status, give you joy I was mad I'd never had it, as a boy Automatic paranoid But now I'm at it and oh boy We fucking had it, been annoyed The hate I can't avoid So I'm tryna fill a void From the evil, see my ego been destroyed Tell my boys (chorus/hook)

(yo, I’m not tryna force it, like if we never see each other again. You know...check it...just the other day...) Look, she might have a ten, or at least a nine chillin with her friend round Easter time I wanna march over and speak my mind But I’m too laid back, like when seats recline Plus she looking uptight like, it’s not the time And i know a lot of women, they walk around the streets Avoiding all the dogs, on the prowl for the meet Saying it her ass fault that my dick concrete and your boy get bitter when she don’t act sweet Got me thinking bout this girl that i saw last week Her whole style was on point, got no critique We were riding on the T, people just don't speak And even though we never talked, she seemed unique Never got to know her name or the things she likes But I been thinkin bout this dame every single night? Like damn, should’ve asked her if she’s single, right? (chorus/hook) Nah, I’ll never see your ass again. Nah, I’ll never see your ass again. I know I’ll never see your ass again. Now I’ll never see your ass again. Look I had a few drinks, and so did she At a club downtown, when she noticed me the type of girl you only see up on a poster, b My mind off so far, but she close to me And I’m thinking yo man this is how it’s sposed to be Like I really can't front, she got a behind Tho her face look fine, what she got in her mind JD ginger ale, she sips some wine At another damn party with our hips aligned at the club or in life, i been on the grind got brain so good like a mastermind from the warmth of a goddess, feel so divine Putting two fingers up for my peace of mind even tho i know her name, and the way she feels I was wrong see i know she got a man, foreal We don't roll no more, thats a broken wheel (chorus/hook) Damn How many will I meet and greet, but never know? How many will repeat the words that flow from my lips “hello”, give smile really quick, “sorry got to go”, in a world so cold Never do you any good to be bad with names But if we never cross paths, then it’s all the same Got a lot of other people who up on my brain Memories in my mind, old photo in a frame Look i recognize your face... but it’s all in vain “sorry what was your name? And when did we meet?” How many facebook friends, you never do see? Had some fake ass friends talking clever to me But Ima go with the flow, man whatever it be I got my fam, and my plan to be a better emcee so bad with names, but you gotta believe Mad people in your life that you just don’t need (chorus/hook)
