Right now there’s a lot of anger and pain out there, and rightfully so with everything that's happening in the world. But even though the “FUCK YOU if you hate us” attitude is immediate and justified, it doesn’t leave us with any solutions. This song is asking for the people who hate us for who we are to recognize the humanity in us. “I know I look nothing like you, but I hope that you still love me, I do.”

lyrics

Nowadays I tell my mama when she’s walking home
She better look over her shoulders when she’s all alone
Matter fact when you leave work, you call me on the phone
Seems like ain’t nobody safe anymore
If I reacted how I want to to everything that I saw
Across the social media, shit I’d be locked behind bars
If somebody, kicked my mother in the streets, stomped her out
The bystanders turned and leave I swear to god it’d be a slaughter house
I’d kill everyone of them and smile as they arrest me
But that makes me just like them, let the hate get the best of me
I mean, they say to turn the other cheek
And then what, watch them kill us in the streets?
I dont think so

I know I look nothing like you
But I hope that you still love me
I do
I do
I know you look nothing like me
But I still got love for you
I do
I do

看着,我们的,皮肤,感觉,都是,我们的错
因为,他们的,眼里,我们的差别，太多
但在皮肤下，我们的血，同个色
谁能告诉我，那么多恨，为什么
even though you wanna make me feel like a lesser man
I know my worth I know my truth i know I’m better than
This here is nothing yea we been thru tougher weather man
I had to learn up on our history and represent
My people stay up, you know I got you for life
And by my people I dont mean just Chinese people I mean
Anybody, with love in their hearts and they trying to do right
If you willing to fight beside me you my family tonight
I got hope of one day people of all colors unite
Smoking weed sipping henny eating good every night
I mean
If we ain’t scared to kill each other?
Then why we scare to heal each other?

I know I look nothing like you
But I hope that you can love me
I do
I do
I know I look nothing like you (nothing like me)
But I still love you
I do
I do
