Testo I Can Only Write My Name - Will Jay
Testo della canzone I Can Only Write My Name (Will Jay), tratta dall'album I Can Only Write My Name
Kids would laugh at
My mom's accent
And the food that she made
Say that stranger
Is my brother
'Cause we all look the same
Thought I'd be cool
If I could laugh too
Even at my own expense
I'd be just like
All of those guys
All-American
Spent my life wishing my eyes
Were shaped a little differently
And always answered back in English
When my family spoke to me
Now I'm ashamed
I can only write my name
I can only write my name
I can only write my name
I'm ashamed
And I'm the only one to blame
I can only write my name
I can only write my name
I lost it all
When I was young
So no one would ask me
Where I'm from
And now I don't
Speak the language
Wouldn't even know how to say
That I'm ashamed
Wanna sit down
With my grandpa
I know nothing about
Smile and nod
Instead of talking
Only way we know how
So forgive me all the years
I was embarrassed
Must have hurt to see
I couldn't careless
I rejected
My own culture
Like all Americans
Maybe I just never had a hero
I could look up to
It's hard to see yourself in Superman
When he looks nothing like you
Now I'm ashamed
I can only write my name
I can only write my name
I can only write my name
I'm ashamed
And I'm the only one to blame
I can only write my name
I can only write my name
I lost it all
When I was young
So no one would ask me
Where I'm from
And now I don't
Speak the language
Wouldn't even know how to say
That I'm ashamed
I can only write my name
I can only write my name
I can only say that I understand
When really I can't stop
Running from who I am
And write my own name
