Lyrics to Love Laugh & Live by Megan Lee

im all alone again
the world is at my fingertips
as i write this song
with all my love to give

so i sing this song
to you, im giving this
a piece of my heart
with a beat to sing it with

[ph]

some things are once in a lifetime
i think this is it
so here it is, i share with you
my piece of happiness

[hook]

with all that ill give you
just as the sunsets
tomorrow is a gift, you
cherish right now as it is

right now is the moment
as the world closes in
so open up your heart and mind,
to love laugh and live

[v2]

all you have’s today
so make the best of it
live it to the fullest
like tomorrow is the end

share the love with people
like they were your best friend
a little love travels far
so start the walk within

[ph]

some things are once in a lifetime
i think this is it
so here it is, i share with you
my place of happiness

[hook]

with all that ill give you
just as the sunsets
tomorrow is a gift, you
cherish right now as it is

right now is the moment
as the world closes in
so open up your heart and mind,
to love laugh and live

[bridge]

we have to walk, before we run
why hate, when we can love
if we try, i promise
we can change so much

i know it wont be easy
but with all the love i get
I’ll give it back, with this song
til it all comes back again

Where’d You Go? (Invisible People) by Model Minority

Where'd You Go? (Invisible People) by Model Minority

Rap group Model Minority (D-One, Grand Master Chu, Inglish) dropped a though provoking single “Where’d You Go?” The track addresses the concerns about the Texas State Board of Education removing references to things like the Japanese internment camps during WWII in US history books. The song is dedicated those who have struggled before us. Model Minority does a great job of informing and educating you about Asian American history. This July 4th weekend remember those that fought for Asian American right and independence in the US.

Where’d You Go? (Invisible People) is the lead track off their latest album “The Tiger Sons Tape”. It uses the instrumental from Fort Minor’s “Where’d You Go?”. Also listen to their track Vincent Chin. Both tracks can be downloaded FREE here.

Lyrics to Where’d You Go? (Invisible People) by Model Minority

Inglish
This is our history, still is a mystery
Damn us Asian Americans are so finicky
Can we get 1 day in AP US history class?
I’m tired of this textbook and kissin its ass
Students oughta know somethin about us just to pass
80 percent go on to higher ed, yeah, that’s a fact
With youtube, we know we can feel cool
but nothing has changed from what we learn in high school
If it weren’t for that college elective that i took
I wouldn’t know shit but what laid in my text book
We’re more than opium wars and exclusions
More than pearl harbor, more than internments
In an odd place between cultures and races
How can we define this second generation?
In Asia, I’m American, in America i’m Asian
I stare into the mirror and see two faces why?

Grand Master Chu
Starin at their pictures, I’m pickin up my pen
I envision the struggles that my parents landed in
Prisons that held them in, cultures they didn’t understand
But they fought to make a home and assimilated in
Didn’t always know the words, but the dream was clear
In a land of freedom, they made a family here
,It wasn’t always easy but they persevered
And by the day I appeared, they had worked for years//
Pain, struggle, and tears, storms finally made clear
Because my generation grew up without fear
Of wars and conflicts tearing homes apart
But now it’s our turn to step up and take part
School boards and printers, they approved the choice
Of textbooks in which their stories have no voice
Thank you for fightin so that I was raised up
Now I’m gonna speak up and raise your names up
And I think it’s messed up, you’re Americans too
Everyone immigrated just like you, too
It’s not fair the way that my parents are viewed
Now I’m fighting so you don’t vanish into the blue, singin

D-One

Labeled a foreigner in my own land
The place of my birth, I’ll die here as a old man
On a bed in a house that I built with my own hands
Feeling blessed jess cuz I can own land
Damn why is my history displaced
In textbooks, why is it you never see my face?
Guess we’re all Chinese, never know my race
Growing up it’s like I could never see my place
But there’s progress, thought I’d never see the day
There’d be a black President, ascendant of the slaves
So my Asians I guess we waiting for our chance
For the American consciousness to invite us to dance
But we can’t hold our breathe so I’m in my fighting stance
Cuz we need to be proactive to stand a fighting chance
Let our ancestors be fairly represented
Should our contributions shine effervescent

Lyrics to K.i.D Cypher – Round 12
(Prince EA)
A lot of people call me Urkel and that really makes my day
Cuz’ they ain’t know Steve was hittin Laura up in Rachel’s place
I’m Rachel Ray the way i cook these rappers up
i mix-em in a pot, i put these rappers up
I check all these ingredients i look these rappers up
my Lil brother said it best: “man these stupid rappers suck”
yup, and i ain’t even got a little brother
i just said that line so you can get a little closer
to a time when ain’t none of you’ll left
I been Sonnin’ these Youngins’ and I punish you’ll vets
i ain’t, walk ya path but i studied you’ll steps
now I’m sick like that chick with under arm sweat in the club ughhhhhhh
I’m one of the best, rappers in the game and ill cover all bets
everybody yelling that I’m gonna be next
cuz I’m smart and when i talk get the honeys get wet
damn got damn, Yeah its scary how the hoes love em
Plus the flow got em swearing that I’m Hov’s cousin
Naa, I’m living life like my of his older brother
in a city where the light skinned girls all know each other
and they say i got the corniest swag
but I’m b-b-b bad like shaft when I’m up in that lab
see you the sh*t like a stomach with gas!
But I’m sh*t like wen u shit and the water splash up on yo ass!!

(Traphik)
I flow hotter than Nigerian toes
But I keep it cooler than a syberians nose
More than just rap its like Shakespearean prose
Cuz you f*ckin wit a master wit experienced flow
They all wanna battle me, now that’s just dumb
Like we all in a battle league, no that’s just Dumb
Shoutouts to the swim team, everyone on Jins team
They know all that T knows his roots, ginseng
You cant ignore me, I move with a plan
I run shit like Forrest, you lieutenant dan
Too sick, I think I just caught the flu twice
Friend zone flow, my sh*t is just too nice
Time to break out, I wont be confined
I don’t care who ya favorite rapper is, hes not mine
And I don’t give a f*ck if you not feelin my lines
Cuz I got more views than all them dudes combined

(Crazed)
~i’m not a devil, but raising fire higher than hell on instrumentals,
i’m that rebel that you’ve mistaken the name just came from
SACRAMENTO (Kings),
“KING In Disguise”, f*ck a crown and a throne,
a trending topic, hash tagged like the pound on your phone,
surrounded and followed by rounds of applauses a crowd so crowded
that can’t help but keep their hands in the air like baby’s hair with a cowlick
by golly i’m prolly causing carnage with all of these other artists
regardless of the haters that always comment below upon us
but i roll with a team from Minnesota so vicious,
the chicks will SHOVEL the snow to get us, you know that they DIG us,
uh huh, and your girl cheating on you I guess she don’t play fair,
well ladies love the KIDS, they care (daycare)!
and open up your eyes when it comes to my skill
you critics SLEEPING on SICKNESS, its like you’re drinking too much NYQUIL
compete against my team, then hell, oh well,
i LAUGH OUT LOUD, catch 22, take an L-Or-L

(D-Pryde)
A fire that is burning through your racist eyes//
Its a bird! Its a plane! Its an asian guy//
Creatin rhymes that be shakin places and breaking minds//
My teams got a really nice rasta, no kind jamaican guy//
I need to hold stress, defeatin these creeps with no breathe//
I’m evil and mad at bieber cause he’s with selena gomez//
That’s my baby, and now my heart is left in the dust//
I’m okay with Rebecca Black as my celebrety crush//
You sissys won’t, come fist to fist with this criminal//
I’m sick to slow-ly hit your, close sibling and slit your sisters throat//
you dudes refuse to be ruthless I proved you goofs//
Aq babboon that’s rude at your funral just poopin up on your tombstone//
Mental so you should get low, I’m wreckin you plain and simple//
You’re mad cause your breezy just used my genitals as her pillow//
Hah?
They love me cause I’m pryde and I’m a ridah//
Just call me a Crazed kid like I be Isaac and Alijah

(Sahtyre)
