[instrumental: epik high - we fight ourselves]
[Intro]
Yo, i just wanna talk about these girls im into
But they arent into themselves
Its f**ed up
This ain't no love song tho
Shouts out to bad parents man
[Verse 1]
Raised broken as intended, f**ed up tradition of a home
Controlling culture is apparent, they influence the childs dome
And all aware of the terror, but none really nay saying
They leaving it alone as if its just a game they playin
And you know this sh** really isnt and never was normal
Its another person's life, just absolutely horrible
I abhor that sh**, went through similar crappiness
This your own life, not their second chance at happiness
And you rationalize it all cuz they your parents
But choices arent a two way street, you dont gotta share it
And they should care about your opinion, it really f**in matters
Dont wanna be blunt, but seeing you like this makes my heart shatter
[Hook] x2
They aim for the top
Think their life is just slop
Self esteem just drop
Body parts just swap
For a plastic prop
But they cream of the crop
So this sh** needs to stop
[Verse 2]
All the plastic surgeries, but you still don't get it
Flaws make us who we are, so you'll just regret it
Under the knife won't put you over the rest, yea i said it
Just don't blame me when only the tears you'll shed is
All done in pursuit of misled happiness and perfection
Cut out 7 pounds for no reason and have a new complexion
Now's the day for independence, get some self respect
Hitch a ride out of their lives and bullsh** reject
[Verse 3]
f**ed up asian parents polluting clean young minds
But give it another wash so that their brains stay blind
Give them sh** advice so answers they dont find
Give them false hope so that they can fake kind
Dont ask any questions just obey their orders
Raising succession in the form of sons and daughters
Individualism is dead, just a pure blank canvas
To paint their imperfect picture onto uncandid
Can fix it, but trapped in a culture of honor
With roots in shame, their empathy's been a goner
But soon the truth will come out and on them dawn
Raise the veil from their eyes and no longer will you con
[Hook 2]
They aim for the top
Think their life is just slop
Self esteem just drop
Body parts just swap
For a plastic prop
But they cream of the crop
So this sh** needs to stop
Dont wanna fix your nose, dont wanna fix your eyes
Just wanna fix things important invisible inside
Dont need to fix your hair, dont need to fix your smile
Every little thing is just part of your own unique style
[Verse 4]
Its f**ed up how they make all of your decisions
Claim its all in best interest like a bank swindling
All just a vision of what they never got to achieve
Continue neverending cycle of children born naive
And parents unfulfilled after growing old and content
Did everything for approval without giving their consent
Not gonna lie, pinocchio, yeah truth be told
This way of thinking is getting really f**ing old
[Verse 5]
This burden is hurten and needs to come to an end
What kind of f**ed up message are they tryin to send
No relations with a puppet, not gonna marionette
Ventriloquism by they parents, depression duet
Stiff mentality cuz they got a hand up of they a**
So they eliminate personality and focus on cla**
Plastic surgery encouraged and seen as a blessing
Disgusting in disguise and downright depressing
God damn, that was long..
[Verse 6]
Fixing flaws in their nose, eyelids, etc
Just a fake exterior and bitter interior
Make up covers up external flaws and imperfections
But you can't make up for the internal scars and lost connections
All for your protection, but doing more harm than good
Accepting them for themselves, i wish a b**h would
Supportive of planted plastic ideas in a plastic head
Stick with it out of ignorance till the day that you're dead
You'll be oozin self-loathin for days to come
Tryna figure out where exactly all the pains come from
Realize that its from inside but shut behind guarded walls
That were erected during the life of this silicon doll
Improve on everything cuz you're worthless and imperfect
Become a plastic image of yourself or you're dirt sh**
All just caked in the face and breaked in the brain
All to avoid the insecurities and traditional pain
