lyrics:
i used to always pinch my nose
20 times before i sleep
‘cause mom said it would make me look
just like all the girls on the screen
but 20 years has passed, and i still look the same
had an accent as a kid
took 5 years to get rid of it
take it as a compliment
when they think i’m american
oh, the land of the free, just not for me
don’t ask me where i’m from
i don’t know what to say
‘cause the place where i grew up thinks I have changed
i can barely talk to mom,
use english every day,
but the people here still laugh at my “real name”
so where can i go?
if i’ll always be a stranger in my home
i still think of seventh grade
grandma packed my lunch that day
friends made fun of how it smelled
i laughed along and threw it away
and still to this day, i miss how it tastes
don’t ask me where i’m from
i don’t know what to say
‘cause the place where i grew up thinks i have changed
i can barely talk to mom,
use English every day,
but the people here still laugh at my “real name”
so where can i go?
if i’ll always be a stranger in my home
so i’m pretty for an asian
so i’m smart but that’s a given
i’m not special, i’m just different
you’re not racist, just a question
must be nice to be included
not because you are the token
I’m not special, i’m just different
i’m just different
don’t ask me where i’m from
i don’t know what to say
‘cause the place where i grew up thinks i have changed
i can barely talk to mom,
use English every day,
but the people here still laugh at my “real name”
so where can i go?
'cause i never seem to be enough for both
so where can i go?
if i’ll always be a stranger in my home
