Things will never stay the same (stay the same, stay the same)
After I have made my name (after I have made my name)
Riding on my claim to fame (claim to fame, claim to fame)
We about to change the game (we about to change the game)
I got the swag, I make it rain (make it rain, make it rain)
I'm doing things the Asian way (doing the things the Asian way)
This is now our day and age (day and age, day and age)
And we about to change the game (we about to change the game)
They tell me that I can't rap, I'm not this, I'm not that
I'm not street, I'm not black, don't live the life that Pac had
But gangstas and potheads don't make the only hot tracks
You got that? The haters wanted combat, I fought back
To stop that, they thought that it could not be brought back
But here I am and I'm on fire, burning like a hot bath
See I don't mean to brag but I got that Ivy League swag
And my verses mean that it's time to bring the beat back
All the fans and critics giving me positive feedback
Even though I'm Asian and a lot of them can see that
Beat that, you can't, cause the fact of the matter is
No one gets to label who can rap or what a rapper is
Just because I'm not a thug does not mean I cannot have fun
I'm sick of all these bastards who think you're not cool without a gun
And I'm not here to degrade women or to glorify the violence
It's our job as real MCs to keep those shitty rappers silent
Things will never stay the same (stay the same, stay the same)
After I have made my name (after I have made my name)
Riding on my claim to fame (claim to fame, claim to fame)
We about to change the game (we about to change the game)
I got the swag, I make it rain (make it rain, make it rain)
I'm doing things the Asian way (doing the things the Asian way)
This is now our day and age (day and age, day and age)
And we about to change the game (we about to change the game)
So Asian rappers represent, our presence is not a myth
Despite those racist motherfuckers claiming we cannot exist
Inside your playlist undercover waiting to be part of this
With my greatness undiscovered, taking my own shot at this
How far we will go and where well stop, only time will tell
New school rappers will be keeping hip hop alive and well
Thumbs up and five stars for the albums that we buy and sell
Keep it fresh, keep it real, keep the game fly as hell
Haters only diss me cause of their own insecurities
Asking who the fuck I am, I am what I came here to be
Its evident, its clear to see the listeners are hearing me
Its clear to me, they feeling me, my rivals have a fear of me
They only hate on me because I beat them on the SAT
Columbia accepted me, MC with a college degree
And theres no need for modesty, theyll never be as hot as me
So take a shot at me, cause honestly, I am a prodigy
Things will never stay the same (stay the same, stay the same)
After I have made my name (after I have made my name)
Riding on my claim to fame (claim to fame, claim to fame)
We about to change the game (we about to change the game)
I got the swag, I make it rain (make it rain, make it rain)
Im doing things the Asian way (doing the things the Asian way)
This is now our day and age (day and age, day and age)
And we about to change the game (we about to change the game)
They always tell you that the grass is greener on the other side
The rap is blacker, rap is cleaner when its of the other kind
But dont stop to draw the line cause hip hop is color blind
Do not try to undermine the bond that every rapper finds
Cause whether you are black or white or Asian or Latino
We are all hip hop, we just spit the shit that we know
The last decade ended and another one begins
Where you dont judge each other by the color of your skin
And you arent defined completely by the people of your heritage
I'd like to think that by now that we have figured out what fairness is
We made things diverse and equal, after all I guess we did
Cause I'm an Asian rapper and weve got a black president
So this is what the message is, I aim to be the best there is
Despite the fact that Im not stereotypically meant for this
Every single person with a dream has got to face their heart
Cause that dream does not give a shit about what race you are
Things will never stay the same (stay the same, stay the same)
After I have made my name (after I have made my name)
Riding on my claim to fame (claim to fame, claim to fame)
We about to change the game (we about to change the game)
I got the swag, I make it rain (make it rain, make it rain)
Im doing things the Asian way (doing the things the Asian way)
This is now our day and age (day and age, day and age)
And we about to change the game (we about to change the game)
Things will never stay the same (stay the same, stay the same)
After I have made my name (after I have made my name)
Riding on my claim to fame (claim to fame, claim to fame)
We about to change the game (we about to change the game)
I got the swag, I make it rain (make it rain, make it rain)
I'm doing things the Asian way (doing the things the Asian way)
This is now our day and age (day and age, day and age)
And we about to change the game (we about to change the game)
