lyrics

My taste buds’ Cantonese
mixed with Japanese
My family is the reason
that I gotta leave

But let’s not act like
people like you are actually
all about your colleagues
living happily

How many of them
came with tears
on their shirt
to tell me all
about their hurt

And, worse yet, people
like you don’t break a sweat
unless you feel someone’s
trying to circumvent your rep

Listen…

There’s a beauty
in our vagueness
This is the beauty
of the Matrix

This is truly how
we break it
You bully like this
was a slave ship

Don’t get upset
by my statements
I never really said
that you were racist

But, the way you talk
to me is colonizing
Not realizing that I’m
the one who’s
always equalizing

This the trouble
of your lying
This is the struggle
of our clients
Who always feel
lost in their crying
Who always feel lost
in their blindness

I know, we can
seize the day
even if it seems
like a ways away

People like you
love to act tough
But your intelligence
is made of fluff
So, what’s up…

I’m better than you
I can prove it
I’m loyal to my family
and loyal to my students

You pretend
your someone you’re not
I break it down
in case you forgot

Listen, Ima keep
speaking this vagueness
Your hatred’s entirely
based on the Matrix

My statements laid waste
to the playlist in Vegas
So superficial like you
who remains nameless

Let’s face it
you often annoy
cracking jokes like
you’re one of the boys

Just privileged
A gimmick
Wait, let me finish
people like you
ain’t about the business

I’ve witnessed
privilege all before
from high school
to college and now
across shores

Man, you better
listen to me, though,
I’M YOUR GENERAL KENOBI
I’M YOUR ONLY HOPE

Of course,
that means that
I can’t stay mad at you
People like you lack
divine vision my mind listens
to the people
a true leader, see
Go ahead, give me all
your energy, mon amie

I got the Spirit Bomb
the bomb spirit
hold the key to your
hopes and your dreams
so, you stop being mean
with the anger, for real
Why you angry…for real
Don’t you have everything

Man…be chill…

Chill…for a second, now listen
Chill…for a second, now listen

Chill…
cause you never knew me
I’m the Chosen One
and you’re my
sweet brother Numsie

The Golden Child
I’m trying to save
with the students
I work with everyday…okay…

Yeah, now you really understand me…
Do you really understand me…

You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone…
