Asians Eat Weird Things by Fung Bros x AJ Rafael

Fung Bros x AJ Rafael team up for the music video “Asians Eat Weird Things”. Some of the food that we eat in the Asian culture seem perfectly normal to us, but to others it’s weird. We enjoy delicacies and culinary favorites like chicken feet, tripe, jackfruit, century egg, kimchi, durian, uni, stinky tofu, pig ears, natto, pig intestines, blood sausage, dried squid, fresh squid, duck tongue, fish sauce, pork sung, nem nuong, dinuguan, offals, balut, and dried seaweed. How many have you tried?

Lyrics to Asians Eat Weird Things by Fung Bros x AJ Rafael

(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!

Singer Cynthia Lin released the music video for her single “Microscope“. In the black and white video, she plays her guitar on the beach, while dancers express their inner feelings. Put under a microscope, Cynthia longs to understand what others see in her. Other songs on her album revolve around the lyric “What do you see?” from this, and explore themes of escapism, longing, hope, love, mortality, and ultimately self-discovery. You can get her album on Microscope - Cynthia Lin or amazon.

Lyrics to Microscope by Cynthia Lin

you squint your eye
i’m under your microscope
i’m on a slide
i’m outside your velvet rope

i’m waiting to be let in
i’m waiting to be let in
i’m waiting to be let in

i’m trying to be myself
let you study the real me
but i can’t help self-censoring
i’m a living apology

i’m trying to be myself
i just wanna be myself
why is it so hard to be myself with you?

with you
and your objective eye
sizing me up and down
constantly analyzed
i’m trying to be myself
i just wanna be myself
i don’t wanna hide
i don’t wanna hide

what do you see?
wish i could see what you see

what i hide
i’m on a slide
a living mystery
a self apology

Lyrics to Vulnerable by Derez

Intro:
At your most vulnerable, you’ll find out the true nature of the people around you..

Lord, forgive em..

Verse:
Easy for you to say, To say its f*ckin’ easy
How nobody f*ckin’ needs me, piece of sh*t, that’s why they treat me like it
I’ve been disposable, vulnerable, they waitin’ for some quotables
Illuminati couldn’t buy my broken soul!
Hard to uphold myself, since nobody here held me down
The scent of every living dead is breathing so you smell me now?
Could give a f*ck what you gon’ tell me now
Funny how they too INconsiderate to help me OUT
They pity ways I pray, if you in my city, day to day
You might wanna book it fore I give you 50 shades of gray
Every scene been so demonic, leave me screamin’ til’ I vomit
My skeleton, sorry mama, I’m cleaning out my closet
They ask what good is that? They pushed me said I wouldn’t crack
I’ve pushed it to the limit, the limits finally pushin’ back
They say I died out, said to y’all it was me
Well guess what? I’ve been dead, dead to y’all as can be

Hook:
You ever seen, heard or felt? That you might need some help
But you seen it all yourself, you don’t need nobody else
BUT YOU… I’m dead and I ain’t sold my soul
I ain’t trynna be that vulnerable

Verse:
We don’t see things the way they are, We see them the way WE is
Hard to play ya roll when you know you readin’ blatant scripts
What if undoublty, I spun a noose around my feet, and jumped up off the balony
From bout a few 2 thousand feet?
I prolly did it for the thrill of it
Nah, I did it cus I’d get killed from it
How bout my haters? Would you still love it?
N*gga talk is cheap, get a bill from it
Up close, not so personal
You’ll need a plan B to stop the kid, without the birth control
When all hope is lost, be lost with it
See where you end up, and tell yourself that we not finished!
I’m living like I already died, R, I the P
Gave em what’s left of I, all of my greed
That vulnerable feeling is vulnerable willing
If you vulnerable, feel it, know that I’m dead with you controllin’ our spirits!

Hook:
You ever seen, heard or felt? That you might need some help
But you seen it all yourself, you don’t need nobody else
BUT YOU… I’m dead and I ain’t sold my soul
I ain’t trynna be that vulnerable
