I'm tired
Of this box
Questions and words
That won't stop
You may have only said it once
I've heard it all before
Each time I smile
Wishing I could ignore
When you ask me
(Ask me)
Are you Chinese?
(Are you Chinese?)
Do you speak it?
Trying to get me
(Get me)
To agree
(To agree)
I'm a twinkie
Constantly
Comparing me to food you've eaten
Can I please be seen as me?
This soil
Its all I know
Where my roots have grown
Can't change my skin
Won't change my hair
Why do you care
Where my parents are from?
Then you ask me
(Ask me)
Are you Chinese?
(Are you Chinese?)
Do you speak it?
Trying to get me
(Get me)
To agree
(To agree)
I'm a twinkie
Constantly comparing me to the food you've eaten
Can I please be seen as me?
You're trying to find common ground for us to meet on
But you miss the sweetness when you stare at the cup
What do I got to got to do to prove I belong
When I've already been born an American son?
Then you ask me
(Ask me)
Are you Chinese?
(Are you Chinese?)
Do you speak it
Trying to get me
(Get me)
To agree
(To agree)
I'm a twinkie
Constantly comparing me
To the food you've eaten
Can I please be seen
As
Can I please be seen as
Can I please be seen as
Can I please be seen as
Can I please be seen as
Me?
