Fuck off
Since I was a child I have never seen a man on the tv that looked like me
You may wonder what that did to me?
Nothing much really because I had a loving family
But many of my fellow brothers and sisters aren't so lucky
The systematic discrimination of my people and me.
Truly we aren't different as the media makes it out to be
No, I don't know kung fu, and if I did, I wouldn't show you
Yes, I struggled with math, do you really have to ask?
My cousins are 6 feet tall, and some of them say y'all.
We are not all short, broken English speaking, math and martial arts geniuses like you think.
Fuck the tv, fuck the media, and fuck you especially
And to be honest, my eyes are probably bigger than yours and everyone in your family's, literally and figuratively
