my peoples keep their head up
just to get through the day
where they grew up and stayed
until they immigrated to the US of A
chasin’ the American Dream
in the back of the kitchen
late nights out with my moms
but the culture was inside of me
never want the diamond three
it was part of the tradition
while y’all was at church
that’s just part of my pursuits
I’m always stickin’ to my roots
that’s all I’m tryin’ to do here
everyday is Chinese New Year
everyday is Chinese New Year
I got something to reveal
thinkin’ bout the first song
and if you never heard of it
things never been the same
truly though seemed like a
scene straight outta movie
so when Clef said that’s it
I ain’t hesitate to write it
and walked into that booth
that’s all I’m tryin’ to do here
everyday is Chinese New Year
everyday is Chinese New Year
guess we’ve finally arrived
I went through the crash test
and my brothers strugglin’
you can find comfort in your skin
they say we fresh off the boat
yeah the key word is fresh
feel the pressure produced
in the same sentence as Bruce
hard to fill a tall order
almost drowned in the hype
now I’m just tryin’ to be water
this is for whoever will listen
listen we are more similar
that’s what I’m tryin’ to do here
everyday is Chinese New Year
everyday is Chinese New Year
