I’m not gonna start this song with you don’t know what it like
It’s selfish; I didn’t choose where I was born in life
I wished some of you know what you really sound like
Even if it wasn’t intentional, the shit already happened
I’m annoyed because its ignorant and it keeps happening
My last name is of Hispanic descent
I’m Filipino, my first name, Anglo Saxon 
My parents named me after a couple of musicians 
E-R-R-O-L, I-A-N
It’s stupid when I have to repeat myself again
You only see a fraction of my pride
Your eyes implied it’s all lies and disguised 
And Just because I can’t speak it; you all assume why
Sad I’m gonna have to fucking meet people like you until I die

You show hate where I’m from
Regardless of my pride
I was given another life 
Grew up a different way
Our blood and motherland the same
That shit is never gonna change 
You being dumb stupid and fucking ignorant
Repeating cliché phrases
Our ethnicity points to the same pages
I can’t speak it; I hear you critique it
Mind your business leave it 
Regardless of what you believe bitch

I’m married to a pinay, who don’t care the way I was raised
She doesn’t reject that I adopted American ways
But every other Filipino look at me like I’m crazy
Consider me like I’m a freaking fucking fugazy
Just because I was born on Hawaii, and I’m Ilocano
That’s a Filipino dialect other than Tagalog
Stupid ignorants considered me blood of a Hawaiian
Yes, I’m local because I was raised on the pacific island
I’m not gonna explain it; I’m tired of trying; I hide it with smiling
My parents too are children of the sun; I still get judged
I feel like I turned out to be a decent son 
I still know where is my motherland 

You show hate where I’m from
Regardless of my pride
I was given another life 
Grew up a different way
Our blood and motherland the same
That shit is never gonna change 
You being dumb stupid and fucking ignorant
Repeating cliché phrases
Our ethnicity points to the same pages
I can’t speak it; I hear you critique it
Mind your business leave it 
Regardless of what you believe bitch

I can’t speak the native tongue
Even if you don’t know it, you show hate where I’m from
I still carry Filipino pride in my heart, expected nothing but love
But some of your minds so corrupted with drama
Turn gossip into a wildfire; so many vultures in our culture
Some of the shit you say is so insulting 
I never realized how true this statement is until I met you
I know now home is where the hater lives
I do give a f*ck that you think we’re different, it’s inconsiderate
I hear you whispering, it might be minor to you, but to people like me its blistering
Only god is keeping my answers in conversations with you from being belligerent 
I can’t believe I get stereotyped and verbally prejudiced by my own people
If you don’t think we’re equal, I give it to you 
But I’ll hold my thoughts on you being unethical 
Because I’m professional and in all fairness 
Maybe I never tried hard enough to be on your level
But at least I still have that situational awareness
Maybe you’re just jealous, so you keep your conversation infectious
That you felt the need to highlight us on your own merit
I’ll be honest, I find all of this shit so fucking hysterical

You show hate where I’m from
Regardless of my pride
I was given another life 
Grew up a different way
Our blood and motherland the same
That shit is never gonna change 
You being dumb stupid and fucking ignorant
Repeating cliché phrases
Our ethnicity points to the same pages
I can’t speak it; I hear you critique it
Mind your business leave it 
Regardless of what you believe bitch
