Danny E.B - Allure lyrics

[Intro: Andrew Sam] It wasn't always like this Movies got you thinking... that Asian American men aren't attractive But it's just white insecurity [Hook: Andrew Sam] European Americans insecure They used media to take away our allure The times have changed, now they wantin' us again Yoshi Sudarso, Yul Kwon, and Donnie Yen European Americans insecure They used media to take away our allure The times have changed, now they wantin' us again Yoshi Sudarso, Yul Kwon, and Donnie Yen European Americans insecure They used media to take away our allure The times have changed, now they wantin' us again Yoshi Sudarso, Yul Kwon, and Donnie Yen [Verse 1: Andrew Sam] Sessue Hayakawa proved that we were s** symbols Seducin' white women, and doing it so nimble Had it down to an art, where getting girls was simple Actin' in the movies, got respect for his people But enough of the films, let's talk about reality A bad predicament weighed down by heavy gravity Asian immigrants came to the US to make quick cash Worked the worst jobs 'cause the racists hated and bashed We just wanted to send money to family back home Men with our women banned, livin' in the US alone So every Friday night, the Pilipino Manongs Got their suit and tie to meet white girls in dance halls The way they spitting game had the white ladies attracted That upset the insecure white men, they wouldn't have it In the following decades, things would become tragic As insecurity made white men go hard at it [Hook: Andrew Sam] European Americans insecure They used media to take away our allure The times have changed, now they wantin' us again Yoshi Sudarso, Yul Kwon, and Donnie Yen European Americans insecure They used media to take away our allure The times have changed, now they wantin' us again Yoshi Sudarso, Yul Kwon, and Donnie Yen [Verse 2: Andrew Sam] They were cranking out films with Asian men a certain way Scrawny and nerdy, feminine enough to be gay Socially awkward, and way too shy to socialize Spoke with broken accents, played by both Asian and white guys People fear that Asians do things better than they do White men insecure, the conclusion I came to Spat game better than they did / And they just had to hate it We were stealing their girls, so clearly we were hated History demands attention, now's the time to pay it Stereotypes aren't true 'cause we attractive as Asians We had it few, had it bad with representation But no more white media, it's the truth they're facin' It's time to let 'em know that we're all normal as guys Our women are not s** slaves, our men are not deprived So screw them and all of their Asian stereotypes 'Cause now we're changin' what they thought they knew about life [Hook: Andrew Sam] European Americans insecure They used media to take away our allure The times have changed, now they wantin' us again Yoshi Sudarso, Yul Kwon, and Donnie Yen European Americans insecure They used media to take away our allure The times have changed, now they wantin' us again Yoshi Sudarso, Yul Kwon, and Donnie Yen
