lyrics

you saw me at the bar where you were drinking
my black hair and my exotic being
you reeked of cheap cologne and asian fetishes
you hit me with your gaze so male and colonialist

you asked me where i’m from, i said Waterloo
my honest answer wasn’t good enough for you
"tell me where you're from, where you're really really from."
i’m finding your stupid seduction burdensome
and i’m not impressed by your Japanese
mainly because I’m not Japanese

so take out your foot from your mouth
keep your mouth shut

you told me once you spent 8 months
hanging out in Itaewon
singing karaoke and drinking soju
with other English teachers like you
now you think you know everything
about the world that i live in

you don’t know it but i heard
you throwing around those ugly words
but you’re not racist you assure me
you hooked up with an asian once in university
so somehow your sexual history
makes you entitled to insult me

surprise. the object speaks
against your narrow narratives of the periphery
tired of your tedious
talk, reducing me
to your exotic other
designed to stroke and fodder
your superiority
passed down by your forefathers
defined to mock and smother
my identity
