alan z and jason chu - yellow peril كلمات الأغنية

rest in peace to the victims
of the atlanta shooting this past march
we miss you
this cycle has to end

yellow peril’s the fear that one day the east overtakes the west
no model minority when we pose as a racial threat
afraid of a takeover like the blueprint that jay done set
got them scared at the thought of power, shifting to asia next
in_the_1800s, they hunted us all through riots and lynchings
hid these massacres from history books to silence the victims
hate is captured in imagery, peep the statue of liberty
faces europe, away from asia with her back to us literally
so they paint us as the face of the enemy
made us the scapegoat like in 1982
when they beat vincent chin to death
a chinese man they thought was j_panese
but they ain’t get no sentencing
their bail set at only $3k, they set them free
ain’t nothing changed, they’re attacking our elders
racists justify this violence, rather gaslight than help us
it’s sickening, the whataboutisms along with the eyerolls
hate crimes ain’t start with this virus
it’s just our trauma went viral

through the stormy weather
we can make it through
but they called it “yellow peril”
harmonize our efforts
we can make it through
but they’re afraid, yellow peril
my cousin on a green card, she hold it close to her chest
don’t know when side eyes turn into public threats
my body tells a story of immigration and theft
exploitation running deeper than the national debt
yes, cold sweat cause they know we got next
edward said warned about the rising fear in the west
started with the posters that they used to paint us as pests associated chinatowns with perils, rodents and mess
asian food is delicious, they couldn’t compete
so the fda tried to ban the use of msg
from fu manchu to dr. wen ho lee
i see history repeats, asian bodies lyin’ in the streets
they lyin’ on us so we have to lionize us
they view us with the bias, so the jokes turn into crimes
and all my people are not quiet though they keep tryin’ to silence
it didn’t start with the virus, the violence just went viral
yeah

through the stormy weather
we can make it through
but they called it “yellow peril”
harmonize our efforts
we can make it through
but they’re afraid, yellow peril
