- Will Jay I Can Only Write My Name 歌詞
- Will Jay
- Kids would laugh at my moms accent
And the food that she made
Say that stranger is my brother
Cause we all look the same
Thought Id be cool if I could laugh too
Even at my own expense
Id be just like all of those guys
'All-American'
Spent my life wishing my eyes were shaped a little differently
And always answered back in English when my family spoke to me
Now Im ashamed
I can only write my name
I can only write my name
I can only write my name
Im ashamed
And Im the only one to blame
That I can only write my name
I can only write my name
I lost it all when I was young
So no one would ask me where Im from
And now, I dont speak the language
Wouldnt even know how to say
That Im ashamed
Wanna sit down with my grandpa I know nothing about
Smile and nod instead of talking
Only way we know how
So forgive me, all the years I was embarrassed
Must of hurt to see I couldnt care less
I rejected my own culture
Like all Americans
Maybe I just never had a hero I could look up to
Its hard to see yourself in Superman when he looks nothing like you
Now Im ashamed
I can only write my name
I can only write my name
I can only write my name
Im ashamed
Im the only one to blame
I can only write my name
I can only write my name
Lost it all when I was young
So no one asked me where Im from
And now, I dont speak the language
Wouldnt even know how to say
That I'm ashamed
I can only write my name
I can only write my name
I can only say that I understand
And really I cant stop running from who I am
And write my own name
