[00:19.33]My father worked hard everyday of his life
[00:21.74]To give us everything we had
[00:23.88]Then the war took everything away and broke his spirit
[00:26.74]So he broke his back
[00:28.27]
[00:28.58]My mom taught piano and it put us through school
[00:31.12]Didn't have much,everything she knew
[00:33.49]How to make it right, how to not fight...
[00:37.10]
[01:43.08][00:37.66]Then he told me son I want you to go to North America
[01:47.55][00:42.29]To dream the dream of dreams
[01:49.49][00:44.13]To be somebody to work real hard
[01:52.20][00:47.02]Don't forget where you came from
[01:54.95][00:49.67]Don't forget who you are
[01:57.41][00:52.06]Look at you, you're a STAR
[01:59.12][00:54.12]
[01:59.66][00:54.74]SO I'll never forget MY ETHNICITY

[01:24.50]The older I get I feel this need to know
[01:26.85]All about my past and family tree
[01:29.31]Everything my people been through
[01:31.22]And how we finally came to be
[01:33.43]
[01:33.82]They said I had to go and change my name
[01:36.25]Forget about all my dreams of fame
[01:39.07]I asked my father"why does it have to be this way?"
[01:42.49]
[02:29.08]But wait wait
[02:31.31]why should this even make a difference
[02:33.29]Though I'm human, I'm just born this way
