Fire

I throw myself in the fire/
I got so much more than I ever gave/
I throw myself in the fire/
Think they’d rather watch me burn in the flames/
I throw myself in the fire/
I got so much more than I ever gave/
I throw myself in the fire/
Think they’d rather watch me burn in the flames/
Im just an asian male/
I feel it, the hate is real/
They don’t portray us as heroes or navy seals/
Computer hackers and nerds that’s all i had to observe/
Watching Tv trying to find someone that looks like me/
And if i did they do karate or mathematics/
Or run the student body/
Sh*t, in Hollywood they do all 3/
I was the bud of all the jokes they calling me Jackie chan/
All cause these slanted eyes envisioned a master plan/
To tell the world that we don’t look like this/
Sometimes we even get the girl and a goodnight kiss/
I throw myself in the fire/
I got so much more than I ever gave/
I throw myself in the fire/
Think they’d rather watch me burn in the flames/
I throw myself in the fire/
I got so much more than I ever gave/
I throw myself in the fire/
Think they’d rather watch me burn in the flames/
Verse 2: Chill moody
Im a black male, in that order/
Blood of a slave, heart of a king/
But that thought’ll leave you as the next martyr/
Built the country got nothing back for it/
Tragedy, they told you never forget/
They told me fast forward/
A new day it’s different now/ i’m like its different how?
Bamboozled that’s just a different clown/
Still shuckin' and jiving, what they value’s the crux of the problem/
They don’t hear me — turn me up on the volume/
Don’t need acceptance from who oppressed us, that’s psychological/
Attacked us mentally and distracted us with some bible quotes/
Before my time to go I swear, truth will be spoken/
Sounds resounds through every youth and we woke ‘em/
'til that cycle is broken/
I throw myself in the fire/
I got so much more than I ever gave/
I throw myself in the fire/
Think they’d rather watch me burn in the flames/
I throw myself in the fire/
I got so much more than I ever gave/
I throw myself in the fire/
Think they’d rather watch me burn in the flames
