This is a song by a Nigerian/Vietnamese rapper and talks about life in America and topics like Black Lives Matter.

These kinds of topics are always so difficult to bridge with my elders since there can be a cultural and language divide. But my father listened to this and was just straight vibin’ to it and he was like, I think I understand Black Lives Matter now.

I thought that was hilarious and amazing all at once.

The 3rd verse is my favorite.

“Hiện tại tui suy nghĩ quá nhiều, vừa là con lai và việt kiều
Hai bên không chấp nhận hoàn toàn, cuộc đời như thế mình phải chịu.”

It means something like

“Right now, I’m overthinking it. But being both mixed-race and overseas Vietnamese, I’m not fully accepted by either side. I guess that’s just the life I have to endure.”

I feel like a lot of us in the Asian diaspora can relate to this sentiment in some way or another. Just wanted to share that.
