Lyrics
She?s breakin? a sweat just to redo it She?s breakin? a sweat, they just abuse it Ain?t gon change one bit All this effort just don?t sit well Yeah, she?s breaking a sweat She workin? so hard for an immigrant Top of her cla**, she done pa**ed the requirements Mama so proud, she?s the first family graduate But how come when she tryna find a job She gotta start again? Out of her siblings, she knows she?s so privileged But this diploma means nothin?, just a doc*ment When it?s across the globe, it should be obvious That all the pain she went through?s worth more than an American?s But in her heart she knows that ain?t true She?s living the best that she can in her youth She kissed her little brother goodbye the last time she saw him She hopes she can pay for him, too, but First, she needs a steady income Second, make sure she?s keeping in touch Third, she won?t forget all the love That her family got, and Fourth, she prays to God but she?s still Breakin? a sweat She tryin? her best not to fall into debt She knows her ego ain?t tubig, ain?t wet But she?s still fallin? behind on that Filipina time No need to hold up She can take care of herself, she a grown up If she gets physical That?s how she show love But all she sees is these privileged 20 year olds who don?t grow up She?s breakin? a sweat just to redo it She?s breakin? a sweat, they just abuse it Ain?t gon change one bit All this effort just don?t sit well Yeah, she?s breaking a sweat She livin? her life like she lovin? it Yeah, she workin? hard, but her pay ain?t cutting it And all her friends stick they nose in her business Askin? where she from, is she single, and who she visitin? She knows there?s somethin? wrong with the whole team Made ?nough bank, moved west side, long beach SoCal?s not so bad, said it?s cozy If only she could get past this feelin? lonely Back at work, chismoso in the workplace Back talk, smack talk, rumors ruin solace Then comes me, white male in my 30s Cat callin?, hopin? I can get some of that Fetishizin? cuz she look exotic Shallow with the culture, I don?t want it Next thing you know, she?s the whole office topic All the rumors ruined her career, now she rockbottom so First, she takes a break from her job Second, she gets a call from her mom Third, I heard what happened, anak, you ok? You should move back, we miss you, it?s not too late, OOF Your little brother?s already in high school And your papa?s still stuck in the ICU Fourth, she knows she needs a vacation But she won?t give up bein? American Asian Her papa?s last words to her ?Ma***ig ka sa Diyos? ?Keep trusting God, it?ll work? ?Magtiwala ka sa Panginoon? Because all we have is each other So we gotta care for another We all break a sweat to live better So don?t go and try makin? someone?s life worse She?s breakin? a sweat just to redo it She?s breakin? a sweat, they just abuse it Ain?t gon change one bit All this effort just don?t sit well Yeah, she?s breaking a sweat
