Crazy Rich Freestyle

by Super Smack

/

about

I recorded this as a rap anthem for Asian-American representation in Hollywood. It was also a pretty handy way to process my feelings after watching Crazy Rich Asians on opening day last year. George Takei thought it was pretty good and shared it on his Instagram TV Channel, so yeah, that was pretty cool!

lyrics

Walk into the cineplex
And I feel I gotta flex
Cuz it’s opening day
Of the Crazy Rich ‘A"

Been a minute
Since we been up in it
But we been here the whole time
'Bout time we had our say

Can you see,
By the dawn’s early light
Sendin mass texts
Tellin my friends hold tight
Don't want an upset
"Please, let this movie be alright!"
Gettin rep sweats
Clenchin my butt real tight

But to my delight
The film fine, yeah I saw it two times, alright!
From the first class flight to the mahjong fight
Asia comin up stars burnin oh so bright, lah
What beautiful sight

And this why I do not object:
They showed Asian women and they weren’t objects
They showed Asian people and they weren’t abject
They showed Asian men and they let them flex

Ooooh hubba hubba
Got Smack rhyming like your tire burnin rubba
Got ya feelin dirty like ya need a rubba dubba
As the credits roll, my whole row, we hugged each other

And it ain’t about the money in the movie
It’s about the money in the pockets of the people who be
Spending hard earned dough just to show y’all folks
We got stories worth tellin
On the picture show

And if you don't know
Now you do.

Time for us to Busta you can give us some more
Punch the bamboo ceiling then we kick in the door
Ya call us sleeping giants, but it’s you with the snore
We won’t wait any no more. So we roar.
RAH!

Yellow caged bird
Yeah I know why it sings
I’m not a Crazy Rich Asian
But I’m two of those things

Peace.
