lirik lagu imkennethy - califoniasian

[verse 1: imkennethy]
all of the stereotypes, i thought i was the perfect match
admit my wish to break em why i started writing raps
flew two thousand miles to college, way of mom and dad
the identity i pushed away i didn’t even have
native tongues and expressions felt foreign as ever
never seen so many brothеrs, sisters sticking together
socal a diffеrent climate, not just talking ’bout weather
tryna act like i was them but i wasn’t that clever
now, started to value they approval
needed to glow up, chasing others nothing new though
motives too complex, need to take a step back
emotions start to harden
’cause i felt from my people so detached
the age old question of i don’t know who i am
at eighteen desperate to meet every demand
the less i idolize others more i understand
the less i compromise, cover up more i advance

[chorus: imkennethy & christina]
you gon’ shine either way and find your place now
f~ck what they say tryna make you doubt
hang your head in shame but we’ll make crowns
the weight i can carry and i won’t fall down
now that i’m out in california
now that i’m out in california
hope that i can take a while
[verse 2: imkennethy]
met some homies from the 626
cousins and they grandparents who they grew up with
under one roof or close enough to always visit
more drama, loss to face but seems like it would be a privilege
never saw my mother stand next to hers ’til i was grown
helped me visualize her sacrifice to leave alone
never met my dad’s side, most passed ‘fore i was born
family not a perfect union but the house felt like a home
you went to bat for the american dream
tell me did it hold up or fall apart at the seams?
hope for my success as much as you finding more peace
building from the ground up never happened with ease
still was fruit in a bowl every night
holidays rather quiet but the gifts was the funds and advice
sent your sons out to cali, hope they learn how to fly
let the wind carry me but still i know when to fight

[verse 3: imkennethy]
too much of the same could get toxic quick
but i keep my circle open never box it in
moved to a new state to claim a new state of mind
idealized pictures still clear i’ll tell you why
said environment is limiting she wants to escape it
i’m on the flip side, i arrive to embrace it
both stepping out of comfort so we walk the same pavement
wouldn’t speak to you today if i’d stuck by expectations
yeah, californiasian
and no matter where you from
let your truth and way you’ve changed become your statement

[hook: christina]
hope that i can take a while
hope that i can take a while
hope that i can take a while
hope that i can take a while
