American hip-hop wannabe diss track 01: Chinese baby
Chinese baby's my number one
I know I'm a bit biased
with a story that goes something
like this
Chinese baby
ready to pamper me
do you want to be with a girlie?
try sayin' fuck the CCP
I know about your dwindling economy
so let's try and sing Tian Mi Mi
for relief as we console
each other and proclaim
the Republic of Taiwan
my favorite darlin'
spyin' on my country
how much do you get paid
to become an internet troll
and a digital sewage?
to the point the Vietnamese
called you Wumao
for shitting around
with rhetorics
kissing the ass
of the withering CCP
as if they didn't operate a massacre
on young activists
Chinese baby
you're so flattering
you take advantage
of the disparity in our economy
tryin' to pay the local hustlers
to create discord among our people
backing up a president
and disrupt our national stronghold
invest to a president whose face is thick
his blind followers do all the mental gymnastics
justifying a poverty-affected drug rampage
it's a massacre against the poor
hmm... somehow identical
it takes a fool to lead another fool
drug mouthpiece president's lining up his daughter
where you're willing to fund her hereafter
fund her campaign by troll farms
now, they swarm like insects
an infestation of the digital spaces
but your own president wanted a monopoly
he might as well become Emperor Winnie
say it with me, Chinese baby
fuck the CCP
and that's how the first track roll
I'm done dealing with these paid trolls
cut the disc
line on rip
bring this piece to one-eighty
I turned around and looked near me
touch it down here,locally
for relevance
of my own sake
here's a random take
thank goodness, for an insider
like the rooted Fil-Chi
more loyal
than a local sell-out hustler, CCP's balls sucker
now, I remember
there are some of them
with a good standing
the Filipino-Chinese community
could be one, for example
the ones who introduced me to Chinese cuisine
even if it's no longer Chinese New Year
I want a nian gao
I want to eat it now
in fact, I online shopped yesterday
hopefully, it's shipped out today
out of sheer craving
quick non-sequitur
alright, let's go back
since the topic's Fil-Chi and Chinese baby altogether
speaking of the devil
let's mix things up a bit
since I've got some shit to spit
let's divert to a romance nobody asked
a love story with no fairytales
definitely it's not the legend of the white snake
let's go
hail o' the Great Wall
of Filipino-Chinese dating
'cause damn if non-Chinese descents are blocked
from intermingling and mixing their young flock
parents are about oppose
a marriage that they didn't propose
be ready to be disowned
Filipino-Chinese son
promising young man
fooling around with a Filipino woman
you'll get back to your senses
say his parents
if we'll strip you of your privileges
classic family drama
it surpassed the traditional Peking opera
according to Filipinos who bothered
not me, though
for I never bothered such a complicated affair
it's an open secret, the community only marry each other
and since I'm nosy
my own misery of nosiness
goads anybody as a company
of this peculiar love affair
according to some sources
this opposition is founded
on the sake of preserving the accumulated wealth
if the Fil-Chi boyfie is rich
his parents marked the Filipina girlie
as a gold digger
a social climber
or any shit associated to misogyny and bigotry
according to Philippine history
why shit like this exist
it's because of the past experiences with discrimination
if you want to understand them for some context
these parents clutch onto the deep-seated insecurity
that any moment, a Filipino can take away their social prestige
and bring them back the day
they had nothing but spite from these Filipinos
yeah, this happened
around the regime of the old Marcos
but for the parents who oppose
memories must still be very recent
citing cultural differences
difference of values
if old generation overstretch
xenophobic sentiments that demeans
the people they live with
CCP's economic dominance wasn't attributed
as the proud old guard want to take the credit all to himself
pure hardwork according to this bigoted snob
as if he didn't benefited from the Filipino soil, the Filipino people and their resources
parents who oppose their son's marriage
see themselves as the unique exception
in a land where they emigrated
the native Filipinos seen as others
like how they were seen as others by Filipinos too
back in the day
how tables have flipped
so is the social script
of this Peking opera
under romance-drama genre
so for these parents
there is no such thing as familial union
intermarriage is peak nonsense
I don't know what is,
my life's already complicated
can I focus on the Chinese dish
and the Chinese arts and crafts instead?
since I don't dwell too much
about the plight of these affairs
it only took me a long moment to think
about this fascinating dynamic
and since I'm here
a nosy chit
my only business?
if there's no common ground
then there's nothing to go around
if both sides lack respect
whoever got involved in this love affair in the first place
my dear Filipino boy or girl
enough getting too affected
there's a million fish in the sea
if I had cents
I would rather live respected by my identity
and spit my shit with some authenticity
than a compromise
where being a Filipino is treated with indifference
and invisibility
fighting for a marriage in the name of love
what is love if familial union is involved?
what you got are family politics and legacy
good luck,
have fun while it's nice
with a Chinese baby
