So, I told her like ooooh baby I know that it looks crazy
but actually it's tasty I'm talkin' about food
Me and my friends eat weird things unlike you
Pardon my culture it's just how we do! I know that it sounds crazy
But it's okay I'm Asian
I'm like "Girl whatcha eatin for today?" Put that bread down, lets go and run away
Cuz I'm Asian, I don't know if you could tell I eat a few things AppleBee's don't sell
ever had dim sum in the mornin' light? I know this chicken feet ain't lookin very
nice But if you taste it, I know you'll really
like eat the skin but leave the bones aiighht?
Look at me look at me eating tripe now Look at you look at you this is life now
it's fresh, more organic than fast food You could say it looks a lot more natural
No this egg ain't hundred years old And no this cabbage ain't got no mold
And I was hoping she would have a taste! she took one bite and just made a face
So, I told her like oh baby You're so amazed by everything that I eat
So, I told her like oh baby I know that it looks crazy
But at least I know it's tasty!
I'm talkin' bout food We got different social norms than you
Pardon my culture it's just how we do She said "I don't like this platter"
I'd probably win fear factor!
Yeah, yeah, I said "Girl what ya eat during weekdays"
She said "salad and pasta each day" But what about Asian food?
You neva get the chance, cuz you never date Asian dudes!
She said, I liked the weird stuff growing up
But stopped in High School it wasn't cool enough
Cuz you can't serve blood cubes at prom And Stinky tofu just sounds wrong
Stop pretending, you don't like fermented I admit the smell can be offensive
But it tastes so good that you won't need another man
Let the flavors take you back to the motherland
So I can take you back to my mother and She can teach you how to cook without butter
and- "What do you mean I'm being patriarchal?" "Oh
ok, I can cook"
So, I told her like oh baby you'll be amazed by everything that I eat
So, I told her like oh baby I know that it looks crazy
But I'm telling you it's tasty
It's balut There's a duck embryo inside just look
Oh, oh. No offense to PETA but it's good I told you it looks crazy
But you know that it's so tasty!
From Manila to Hong Kong Bangkok Tokyo Taiwan
Seoul Singapore, Saigon Jakarta, Beijing, there's more
Phnom Phen, Kuala Lumpur Eat it up baby, it's raw
And no, we ain't eatin no dogs The most exotic it gets is frogs!
So, I told her like oh baby It's not amazing all the things that we eat
So, I told her like oh baby I know that it looks crazy
It's probably cuz we're Asian
I'm talkin' bout food We got different social norms than you
Can't change my culture it's just how we do She told me it looks crazy
I said it's okay I'm Asian!
