“She told me it looks crazy I said it’s okay I’m Asian!”
Asians everywhere will be able relate to this video.
YouTube sensations and brothers, David and Andrew Fung teamed up with AJ Rafael to create this brilliant anthem that’s sure to be a classic among Asian kids everywhere.
Balut, chicken feet, tripe, durian, stinky tofu…I love them all!
LYRICS:
(ANDREW)
I’m like “Girl whatcha eatin for today?”
Put that bread down, lets go and run away
Cuz I’m Asian, I don’t know if you could tell
I eat a few things AppleBee’s don’t sell
ever had dim sum in the mornin’ light?
I know this chicken feet ain’t lookin very nice
But if you taste it, I know you’ll really like
eat the skin but leave the bones aiighht?
Look at me look at me eating tripe now
Look at you look at you this is life now
it’s fresh, more organic than fast food
You could say it looks a lot more natural
No this egg ain’t hundred years old
And no this cabbage ain’t got no mold
And I was hoping she would have a taste!
she took one bite and just made a face
(DAVID)
Yeah, yeah, I said “Girl whatcha eat during weekdays”
She said “salad and pasta each day”
But what about Asian food?
You neva get the chance, cuz you neva date Asian dudes!
She said, I liked the weird stuff growing up
But stopped in High School it wasn’t cool enough
Cuz you can’t serve blood cubes at prom
And Stinky tofu just sounds wrong
Stop pretending, you don’t like fermented
I admit the smell can be offensive
But it tastes so good that you won’t need another man
Let the flavors take you back to the motherland
So I can take you back to my mother and
She can teach you how to cook without butter and-
“What do you mean I’m being patriarchal?”
“Ooh ok, I mean I can cook”
(AJ)
I’m talkin’ bout food
We got different social norms than you
Can’t change my culture it’s just how we do
She told me it looks crazy
I said it’s okay I’m Asian!
