Lyrics to Primacy by Deb Oh & the Cavaliers

Brick by brick we built this empire
Brick by brick we’re taking it down
Brick by brick we built this empire
Brick by brick we’re taking it down

Driving into the fog in search of something to call our own
Away from the constant fear of being alone
To build a legacy with our bare hands
To forge a connection with this downtrodden land

So that someday, we can tell them

Brick by brick we built this empire
Brick by brick we’re taking it down

Arms stretched out over the water
We’ve become the rebel sons and daughters
Moving with no end in sight
Ready to put up a fight

So that someday, we can tell them

Brick by brick we built this empire
Brick by brick we’re taking it down

We were the first to love
We were the first to break
We were the first to shed these tears
And to live these myths we made

Brick by brick we built this empire
Brick by brick we’re taking it down

I’m Asian American by Douglas Kim

I'm Asian American by Douglas Kim

With the help of director Kevin Boston, Douglas Kim created a video parody of the song “Rockin the Suburbs” by Ben Folds. Your friendly neighborhood Asian American is just a regular guy trying to get through life in America without getting hated on by Asians and Americans, is that too much to ask?

Lyrics to I’m Asian American by Douglas Kim

Let me tell y’all what it’s like
Being Asian we all look alike
It’s a bitch if you don’t believe
Read about it in a magazine
Sham on

I’ve got Asian momma on my brain
So intense that I can’t explain
All alone in my Asian pain
You know they’ll punish me if I complain

I’m Asian American
And my friends are all pre-med
I’m Asian American
Get a B and I’ll be dead
I’m Asian American
I take the grades and face the facts
Some advisor with computers puts me on some shitty track

I’m pissed off but I’m too polite
When Asian girls all want a guy who’s white
Mom and dad you made me so uptight
Can’t ever party on a Friday night

Don’t know how much I can take
Give me something I’m allowed to break

I’m Asian American
Doing what my parents said
I’m Asian American
And it made me talented
I’m Asian American
I write on facebook and face the facts
Typing wall posts on computers is the only way I mack

In a haze these days
I’m cursing my poor eyesight
And I can feel something’s not right
I can feel someone’s trapped me in a lame cliche
Sending dirty vibes my way
Cause I would not be their robot
And I would not be a white collar slave

It wasn’t my idea
Never was my idea
Just drove to the store for some ramen and jap chae

Y’all don’t know what it’s like
Being Asian we all look alike
It gets me real pissed off and makes me wanna say

“Oh hello! Being Asian American has had profound unique effects on one’s psychological disposition, and as such, they’re not always able to effectively communicate their feelings in a way that doesn’t seem contrived, irrationally angry, oh thank you, or insecure. Wait, what’s that…”

Stuck in someone else’s song
I’m Asian American
Where the pho do I belong
I play some ball and face the facts
Can’t just sit behind computers
Gotta take it to the rack these days

Yeah yeah
I’m Asian American

You better what out because I’m gonna say
