Unconditional

Lyrics

Yeah yeah, uh, Bohan ___, I feel you though I feel you, man Let me get this off my chest, yeah As I get older, I learn just how very little I know About this life and even less about myself I'm grateful for chances to grow Mama, she raised me all by herself My daddy, he never showed me the ropes In my darkest hours and my proudest moments It was music that gave me the hope, yeah My step-father and mama couldn't understand why I was fascinated with the music that came from the black culture That even after I graduated I stuck with it Oh yeah, they had all their reasons to doubt it But they could tell that this music had gave me an outlet And they could tell it gave me confidence It gave me way more than just common sense Taught me some values that shaped the man that I am It truly felt heaven sent Brought me friends that done held it down to this very day I know they gon' love me for life Brought me to places around the world I only dreamed of All from the words that I write It was through music that I had learned The concept of unconditional love When other Chinese kids didn't really fuck with me cuz I was weird and rappin too much No Pokemon, no Magic cards I was tryna spit magic bars The white kids couldn't understand me They just thought I was actin hard Shit, it was black kids that first showed me love Gospel choir, where I learned to trust Mr. Reed from Jubilee, nurturing my passion A blessing from God He put me up on my first stage Black was the angel Blessing me throughout my worst days Forever I'm thankful [Chinese interlude] 不知道————这个问题我们的————是社么,对吧? ————这是————————————爱 ———— Yeah, uh George Floyd, Breonna Taylor You've seen the news, go on and say the names Seventeen years in this country now I seen how the white man played the game Tried to explain to my relatives Back in China this here is not the same As people picking on me just because I'm Chinese So the virus I'm to blame, nah nah We weren't sold here as slaves Murdered and killed er'y day The color of our skin wasn't made as a weapon against us I tried to explain that Yes, we also have been oppressed but Nah, these shouldn't be compared at all Cuz when I'm in the wip fucked up and the police pull up, nah I don't get scared at all What's more frustrating is trying to rally the rappers from overseas Most of them want to keep it real until times like these you don't hear a peep Millions made from black culture, you're world famous, you're on world tour A black square and a PR statement, that's all that you are good for? But they don't hear me, so I hit the streets Protesting with no rest With everything that rap gave to me It's only right I give mo' back Been lookin all around, seein all these clowns, gadam it they so wack Can't believe I called them homies, gadam I get so mad that I let my emotions spill But shorty had told me to chill Maybe to write how I feel Down in a song cuz it heals Cuz who am I to judge right or wrong? I'm just a kid with a pen Hoping to change the world a rhyme at a tmie But change, it starts from within, yeah
