NOIZE ‘n LETTAS from Gaven: Yes, I’m Chinese, But…

February 12, 2016 by szachik@pvs.org 5 Comments

Big G just dropped his first single, “Yes, I’m Chinese, But . . .” First released here on the thebirdonfire.org!

 

–by Gaven Li

 

Yes, I’m Chinese
But that doesn’t mean anything
I don’t eat dogs or kitties
Orange chicken is not always my favorite

Yes, I’m Chinese
But we no longer live in rural places
There are 14 million people in my city
Everyone will fall in love with her beauty

Yes, I’m Chinese
But not every Chinese is Bruce Lee
I don’t know Kung Fu
and never fight in the street

IMG_0503Yes, I’m Chinese
But we ain’t in the 1960s
Everyday after school
I don’t help my dad farming

Yes, I’m Chinese
But y’all should remember this:
Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan
They are all parts of our country

Yes, I’m Chinese
But I can still rap like Jay-Z
I’m a poetic “gangster”
Comin straight outta PRC
