Jasmine:
Panda Express got me feelin' sick
Tastes whiter than my ‘17 Civic
No I don't need a reason
I'm not salty but I'm very well seasoned
Here go some lumpia made by my mom
Styled on 'em in this fresh-ass barong
These birds copy every word, every hit
But gang gang got adobo and pancit
Mama got me out here lookin maganda
Find out I'm pinoy and you say mahal kita
You know that game of “half and half” I don't play
When they see me, hear ‘em say mabuHAYYY
Chorus:
I been this, bitch we live this
Dealt with racists and with sexists
I mean I been pissed, peep the checklist
Keep appropriating like a colonist
Ay yo I been this, bitch we live this
Deal with racists and with sexists
Nicki ya did wrong with this bum song
Spill the green tea, try again hun
Oh I get it
They're asking me if I'm Chinese or Japanese
Well it's the last time you're ask me “where are you really from”
Feelisha:
When I pass you by, you gimme two takes
If you ask me “what are you?” mmmm… mistake
“You're not Indian? You're too pretty”
Whatchu mean? I'm not dark, ugly, or hairy?
I love my curry, my bindis, and my henna
Mmmm… Imma stunnaa
I rep my culture every time, every day
Fake bitches come at me like, “namastaayyy”
Yoga, Coachella, crop tops, and butter chicken
My culture ain't a bandwagon for you to fit in
Now all I gotta say is kiddaaaa, know what I'm sayin'?
Gonna walk away, but watch me keep slayinnn'
Haidy:
When imitating my language you say “ching chong ching chang chong”
But if you took the time to really know me, that's not how it sounds at all
You might think that it's weird that I ask you to take it off
You tell me, would you want dog dookie in your halls?
Vicki:
“Asian girls everywhere, UCLA”
We got no time for yo shit not night or day
Yellow fever's a sickness, it's contagious
We're fly as hell but your fetish is outrageous
Yes we're Asian, and we're brazen
And we're cravin' representation
Yeah I'm Asian, not East Asian
Yes still Asian, (and Caucasian)
Chorus:
Ay yo I been this, bitch we live this
Dealt with racists and with sexists
I mean I been pissed, peep the checklist
Keep appropriating like a colonist
Ay yo I been this, bitch we live this
Deal with racists and with sexists
Nicki ya did wrong with this bum song
Spill the green tea, try again hun
