Electrons pushing photographs into outer space, Yeah I see blood spatter, and teargas smithereens. I got these pictures inside my head, and I can’t get them outta my mind. And you and I constructed terms and anagrams, Things like the war on drugs, and the TPP, And I pushed them out of my mind these days, Cause I can’t feel anything else, And I can’t escape, I can’t escape these Twenty-first century post-liberal blues. It’s photons and injures and phantograms, I’ve got that video tape reel, it’s looping on repeat, And I can’t get it out of my head these days, I just see what woman lying right there. And lately I’ve been learning things I didn’t understand Things like black lives matter, and that wall street is a lie, And I can’t get it out of my head these days, It’s just that video tape reel, I can’t explain, I can’t explain these Twenty-first century post-liberal blues. It’s neutrons and scar tissue and pictograms, Tracking bruise patterns and the public memory, You put these pictures inside my head, And I can’t get them out of my mind. And you and I constructed shapes and diagrams, Following crime scenes, and the minimum wage, You put these pictures inside my head, And I can’t see anything else. I can’t escape, I can’t escape these Twenty-first century post-liberal blues.

AHHHH OOOOOO OOOOOO If you see something You better say something Or Nothing at all So don’t make any accidents You need more evidence

I never felt so alive, I wonder when this feeling dies I wonder what happens when two doves cry, yes and the world survives It’s no surprise, it’s no surprise this shit has opened up our eyes But I’ve been advised to just stay quiet while they feed us lies and will divide I recognize but what can I do,, I sometimes lay back and just take it When the issues that affecting us now yo they clearly do not make it Do you feel that too, yeah just like me, but we’re silent too yeah I agree We’re too critical too yeah to a degree , will we see that change , yeah, but it’s not likely But I tell you now that this shit matters, its was written in the signs of all the patterns Of every single moment that came before us where we didn’t act and it all shattered That’s why I get worked up every time I speak, with every new step still feel defeat And tho I feel the heat, I will not retreat, keep doing this strong til we are complete! Sometimes I just need you to lie and tell me it's fine, it'll be alright Have you been there too, well I’m here to tell you that together we’ll fight And the world is crumbling down, got demons all around yea provokin us It's times like this in our lives when we need not me, not you, but all of us i'm broken up and every day i'm feeling a pain that i'd soon regret, lifes debt. and i bet you’ve felt it too crawling in your skini\from toes to neck So i look to you, us two can get through it all,, yea by and by maybe it’s then we can change the world, but for now let's start with you and I one day when my back is strong, and my tounge is twice as sharp I will lift us up, find a way to right our wrongs, and then find a way to mend our hearts, let's start But for now if you’re feeling like me, this is just the start and the feeling mighty Will it disappear well it’s not likely cuz we on the rise and we feeling so free, let’s be like I am the whitest whitest asian that you ever did see So when I tell you I’m out there working man I’m not doing it just for me I’m doing it for you and you and your mom Representing out there so strong Trying to prove you and i belong I feel it so deep so I wrote this song To prove that you and I can do this, it’s Ludacris how they view this We worked twice as hard to pursue this so let’s snatch the crown while they remain clueless But we are no victims, we can get lifted, demographics on our side that never been listed We are on a mission, barely even started, to change ourselves as well as the system

Quick fix, disposable Everyone’s identical Maybe I’m too critical But why are we invisible Movie screens and politics Treated like a monolith Waiting for a catalyst Or you could be that activist You say you want it But are you gonna work for it Staying complacent When it’s not to your benefit Identity all hyphenated #WhitewashedOUT but motivated Problem with that one percent It’s time for us to re-orient You've gotta stand up to break the ceiling ‘cause you could do better We could be better You could be the GameChanger Sidekick, minority Changing every industry Strength in this diversity Power in community Part of that diaspora Killer with a camera Musician & world travella it's gunnarolla You say you want it But are you gonna work for it Staying complacent When it’s not to your benefit Identity all hyphenated #WhitewashedOUT but motivated Problem with that one percent It’s time for us to re-orient You've gotta stand up to break the ceiling ‘cause you could do better We could be better You could be the GameChanger You know that I'll be #PraisinTheAsian Because we need some better representation You've gotta stand up to break the ceiling ‘cause you could do better We could be better You could be the GameChanger

Give you our tired Give you our poor And you will work them til they die And blame them for the hell you fashioned Give you our best Give you our brightest You just treat them like outsiders And profit from their desperation America, America Tell us your tales Sell us your fables Your exceptionalism Is every empire’s rationalization Bless the favored In the patriot church If they will kneel to the elite They’ll be rewarded as tools of oppression America, America America, America Give us your values Give us your promises We’ll act as if you mean them And save you from your self-destruction America, America America, America

should I run, should I run away should I run away and never look back? (oh no, oh no) how I could I ever go back the way I left? I’ll be rapping my tail off -- truly on my lizard flow brother, I ain’t scared though running through this jungle and I’m feeling like a nomad no, man. no more letting these opinions drive a boat to no man’s land in the sand and maybe you will live the kodak moment after moment; every time you need to go back and recuperate to the lab again, drawing board or labyrinth hunger’s like a labrador retriever and it’s back again hello. tryna not be othello I believed the hype, mistaking grapes for morellos didn’t realize that it would taste sour every second, every hour, certainly was not godiva I was certain I was ready for this journey unknown it’s better not to know how the journey unfolds if I knew, man, I’d run away, I’d run away like a coward I would cower, never taking steps of faith man, I’m looking for some peace, some peace of mind cause I got it so conflicted I put the focus all about chasing dreams and neglected living out my convictions (wait a minute) I gotta pause and recall why I did it in the first place never entered in this race to be first place ‘cause the last shall be put ahead I truly hope this adventure is budapest beautiful is the campaign, can’t blame everybody for my bad aim and back pain all because of low standards I’m shooting at -- going for the max damage feeling insecure cause the money short handed. drinking my pride by the pints and the gallons. maybe it’s true that I made a mistake for not being a coward and taking these steps of faith how you feeling? I’m feeling good today x3 shalom, cause everything will be okay give me a second to recollect, they tell me my record is irregular they talking I walk a line between sacred and secular, save it for the reckoners, it's red in my eyes, I'm tip toeing through these terminals & floating in skies I see my clout up in the clouds, clouded by the thousands of people tellin’ me that with my words they get aroused this route dun' kept me from around the way? I'm hardly home my momma wonder if I'm sound and safe the safest sound is in my hotel, sending off my hope mail, I need some peace & quiet speaking to God is hard to do now if I'm honest all this talk about what ima do now as an artist isn't it all it's cracked up to be, crack a smile for company, accompanied with questions ‘bout the quest I'm on for greatness I question if these people look at me & think I'm famous it's crazy cuz, I started making music for some peace, a way to get away from all the drama in the streets, should I run?

0:10 I don’t tell THE Asian-American story, I Tell OUR American storiES In hopes that one day our people will see glory Do you feel me? (Yeah~) But if you don’t? That’s cool And if any one of these words breaks through and resonates with you The struggles you been through Pain you thought only you knew? This whole life been worth it. Mama birthed me with a purpose, from Chinese restaurants, and nail salons, and into churches Been called worthless Been felt hurt inside So if you’re numb, just know that feeling exists for a defensive service I ain’t mad at you! But beyond the bitterness that’s been in us, we’re buildin up these stories and the world will bear the benefits We been a mess, but nothing’s been amiss You gotta break some eggs evry time you make an omelet ahh I break it apart to put it back together like chemo on cancer I have, no, answers Just questions that’ll open up topics of discussion You’ll have to shoot me to shut me up, I ain’t budgin And maybe YOU won’t march or stand, but You can, listen and Speak Listen, to me, speak And I’ll listen to you, Preach

Young girl did you think everything was alright Cuz I’ve seen too many people trying to pick a fight We’re losing everything we’d proudly built before So we can’t just sit back anymore while we let them write the score to a dangerous encore Cuz the truth is that we’ve got to say Something before they get their way Just use the voice inside let your words take flight You know you’ve got that right Go ahead roll down your windows Sing along & give it all you got If you feel me put your hands up Don’t take your time, we’ve only got one shot Let me hear you sing it loud Ohhhh I’ve found the more I say the more I make a change I use my song in hopes that you might feel the same Because as crazy as this seems, your made up of more than dreams. You’ve got that light You can be that change, maybe rearrange we’ve gotta stick together change it for the better Go ahead roll down your windows Sing along & give it all you got If you feel me put your hands up Don’t take your time, we’ve only got one shot Let me hear you sing it loud Ohhhh The truth is we’ve got to say Something before they get their way Just use the voice inside let your words take flight You know you’ve got that right Go ahead roll down your windows Sing along & give it all you got If you feel me put your hands up Don’t take your time, we’ve only got one shot Let me hear you sing it loud Ohhhh Go ahead roll down your windows Sing along & give it all you got If you feel me put your hands up Don’t take your time, we’ve only got one shot Let me hear you sing it loud Ohhhh

Take an eraser to my face Feed me history thats laced with opium Take your anger to the streets Take your violence out on these feet on which I stand I'm not here to steal your gold I'm just here to realize a dream that I was sold No brother could have foretold That I wouldn't make it to old age In this land of the courageous and the fearful Cut a finger from my left hand just to point it back at me Love me leave me hanging breathless swaying from a palm tree Lay me down but not to rest Cut me open, but call me blessed Kill every one of us on sight Crash through the yellow like a traffic light Take a paintbrush to right and wrong Paint a picture of an alien who doesnt belong Take cover beneath these streets Those above couldn't care less when you stop breathing

In a minute from now things won’t be the same Even seconds from now you can make that change Looking into the world you may never see All the hatred from now or past history We were brought to life With to two ears, two eyes To listen and hear those who hurt inside Our purpose is to love Be the change you wanna see in this life Can we be the reason there’s some faith left in this world? Can we be…the future that holds meaning to it’s worth Can we be…Can we be… Can we be….the reason there’s some faith left in this world? Tell me why does the news fade things black and white Believe that it’s wrong when they say its right And it shifts all our thoughts to entitled minds We judge and become more closed off, bruised and blind

There is a pain in my soul You know it deep in yours too We knew it from the start We’ll know it to the end What are we to do when the horrors that we do exceed all possibilities? When the boundaries of evil break and we look away at the altar of luxury? Men, women, and children all over the world, we are all common humanity When will we learn to live together in love and in humility? Like black and white and day and night Weakness and might, even fundamentally No, we do not see eye to eye But we bleed the same inside Look to your left, and the person there might need a prayer Look to your right, and the person there has battles to fight Look all around, and the people there are your sister, brother And everyone needs lovin’ understandin’ today We all bleed the same inside If only we had eyes We all bleed the same inside Black and yellow, white and red, brown All the colors we could love instead We need giving, not demanding, sacrificial love

Please Come with me To the tops of the peaks Said you love Now we are home She’s On our skin Is the air caving in Knee deep In all of our sleep There on our screen Are the speakers of we Come all Gather as one Brother We bleed So let’s rise to our feet Choose for change to come All I know is Stand Our color’s wide Speak freely Running sweet to the center With our noise Seek whom to lead us Paint glory In the nation that saved us With sisters that held us through it all Some days I know It’s a fast-sinking goal To see A beautiful home Love It can bleed Be the shadow of eve Become A face we don’t know But what It all means Be the change at the seams Look here babe Let’s better our sight Life Let it in Let it humble our skin Fill up All of my lungs So I will breathe and Bridge It’s time we bring our souls together All the numbers we have All the rights in our hands Our movement will catch Onto young hearts And all they’ll know is to
