conrad ricamora, francis jue - i am كلمات الأغنية

[dhh]
i am
i am a fake
not chinese, not american
half and half doesn’t always equal one

(spoken)
i’m the worst of both worlds

[xue xing, spoken]
david, you’re more chinese than you think

[dhh]
how can you say that?

[xue xing]
at mcdonald’s, when you tried to grab the check?
that’s chinese

[dhh]
it is?
all my life i’ve wondered why no one ever tries to grab it back

[xue xing]
see? you’ve been trying to gain face

[dhh, sung]
i learned that from my father
grab the check, pay the bill
don’t shame your assistant when he can’t keep up the pace
let him keep his dignity, maintain his place
i guess that’s face

[xue xing, sung]
yes, that’s face

[dhh, spoken]
but i’m american too!

(sung)
i learned how to tell a story
one with soul and emotion
and filled with my devotion to a dream i believed in
a dream we gave the world
that was my art

[xue xing]
i guess that’s heart

[dhh]
yes, that’s heart
xing, you’ve helped me see
i don’t have to play a role
i’m not two halves, i’m whole
enough just as i am
it’s something to be proud of
i guess that’s love

[xue xing]
i guess that’s love

[dhh]
i am
i am chinese
i am
i am american
i have both, face and heart
the world needs both
i am both

(spoken)
tonight, democracy has broken my heart
i think, i think i’m gonna faint now

[xue xing, spoken]
no no no no, stay with me
david? david?

(sung)
i am, i am afraid
sadness isn’t useful
emotions mustn’t guide you
feelings always pass, they always—

[chorus]
mmmm
mmmm
mmmm

[xue xing]
what is this, “america?”
why do i cry for america?
