You're a sad
selfish
coward
Determined
to live
False tales
of paradise
Your only concern
are of capitalist
nature
Blinded by
corporate
brainwashing
Tricked
To live
the lie
of value
assigned
to wealth
and beauty
Taught to buy
into the lies
of economic
slavery,

respect goes out to you
for the life you live
illustrating your views
Sticking it to the "man"
Calling out rich and greedy

Raising the dead
in the name of the lord
Water into Wine
like sheep to the slaughter
Die for your sins
Like Zeus did before him
He is your saviour
In the name of money

Hardcore music, (Cantonese language)

(or we tell the President (fuck off))
OTA
Cranking out the CantoCore!
SF old school - yellow 5
Keeping Canto - core alive
breaking stereotypes - that thrive
on ignorance - to survive
Guitar,drums - thrash attack
No 10 piece kit or - marshall stacks
No rockstar - sell out shit
No radio or - top 10 hits
Down with SBG!

Cook your own damn chop suey
This Chinaman doesn't break
This Chink ain't no Oriental
This Gook is an American
Sucky Sucky me off asshole!
Fuck Your Ancient Chinese Secret

Take pride in cultures
Not borders
Imaginary boundaries
of nations
Walls between our world
community
see the plan
of the rich
divide and conquer
feeding the hate
Unite and learn
we are the same
culture not borders
Respect our cultures
respect to our lands
Respect ourselves
Ideals of the dreamers
wishful thinking of the wise
Our species is not ready
Like animals till we all die

NUNCA PODRE ENTENDER LOS
BAJOS INSTINTOS DEL HOMBRE!
DESCARGAN SU IRA EN LO MAS
DEBIL EN LO MAS PURO!
CUERPOS VIOLADOS, DESGARRADOS,
QUEMADOS, ENTRE LA TIERRA,
DESECHADOS COMO BOTELLAS VACIAS.
TRATANDO DE ESCONDER SU CRIMEN,
PERO SOLO SIEMBRAN MIEDO Y ODIO!

Lazy, dumb, fat and stupid
sun loving flip flop wearing bitches
wasteful selfish self-serving consuming
privileged confused pampered and lazy
Lazier from wealth and privilege?
Lazier from tv and computers?
Lazier from lack of hunger?
Lazier even still?
I see thru you and everyone does too
unmotivated and listless
shallow and useless
generation cow gnawing on your processed packaged boxed genetically altered microwaved poo
(lazier than a stinky hippie)
(useless stupid trash)
Is this what America has to offer?
(America can you do better)

You look down at me

My parents taught me Cantonese
In American I did not learn to write or read
And you can say my Cantonese is bad
I will keep singing my songs

Never give in
Gumbaroo
Str8 Outta Oaktown
Born off foreign shores
A true American
with a Japanese core
A time a country turned on it's own
Americans lost their businesses and homes
rumored enemies of the state
interned in Tanfran Park to wait
"No one could leave the camps"
But that did not hold you back
Escaped with a Chinese surname- Soo
Comedian Singer Actor in the Midwest - MC
An inspiration, an activist, pioneer - legacy
Gumbaroo Gumbaroo Gumbaroo
Goro Suzuki, you will not be forgotten.
Your mark has been made in acetate.
Goro Suzuki, just hang on through problems.
We will continue the struggle
Gum ba ray!
