Song Lyrics

First Asian Kid to make a Greatest Hits in the History of American music
Ain't that some shit?
That goes beyond just entertainment & amusement
Every song I write has historical significance
Something that's lost on these Cultural critics
Where U been?
I been Jeremy Lin
All these years I been here ever since
Don’t get the calls, don't get the minutes
But the game is way better with LB in it
Hold up - these words getting expensive
Pull out your beige card, Asian American Expresses
LOOK up, the boy's swinging for the fences
Cold with the words, he writes with mittens
Cold with the birds, Riceberg slim
It's difficult for them but for him it isn't

Oooh Baby, Baby, Baby
U know I like it
Don't Quit Your Daydream
Whatever you
Do Baby, Baby, Baby
Got To Have It
Don't Quit Your Daydream

I still pursue it with that sense of newness
That sense of humor, that same exuberance
I saw myself & it came to being
Gotta be honest, I just call it like I dream it
I ain't leaving, that's success
I ain't in yo top 10? That's a lack of respect
It ain't my fault Majors don't sign Asians
But it is my fault we now in the conversation
Thanks for the invite to a seat at the table
You shouldn't have, in fact you didn't
It's too late now, I’m already available
Guess who's coming to din din?
Brought my own bento, my own utensils
My own throne cuz I don't sit on benches
So if even y'all don't want to hear me speak
Y'all have to sit here & watch me eat

U say: LB U shouldn’t work so tirelessly
I say do what history requires of me
I take zero for granted
Even when I make yo heroes look average
Awww, I hear these dudes throw tantrums
‘There ain't enough room for more Grammys in my bathroom'
Meanwhile I’m here album after album
Waiting for an Asian win 1 statue
So poetic, so photogenic
Rap circles around these so called legends
I’m from the Bay - we invented woke
If it needs to be said, boy it's gone get spoke
