[Pre Chorus:]
Born in the east, raised in the west
Heart of the motherland pounding in my chest
I'm a Viet Kieu
Yeah, I'm a Viet Kieu, Kieu, Kieu, Kieu.
[Verse 1:]
Vietnamese immigrant, Germany's citizen
Moved to the USA, currently resident
Proud of my heritage, coming to represent
Gotta get benjamins for all of my relatives
Shed blood sweat and tears, making my nation proud
Better put ya hands up high this is for the Asian crowd
Gotta get famous now, ain't nothin's stopping me
You hear the stomach growl? Homie we gotta EAT
I'm just a skinny boy, a Hanoi City boy
Grindin in Caliornia, even though I'm unemployed
Catch me at movie sets, studios, or photo shoots
Try to provide cuz thats what a man supposed to do
Brother, tell me do you know how this feels?
They keep on staring at me, what's the big deal?
I'm just a westernized Easterner with Skills
I am someone you call a Viet Kieu.
[Hook:]
Born in the east, raised in the west
Heart of the motherland pounding in my chest
I'm a Viet Kieu
Yeah, I'm a Viet Kieu, Kieu, Kieu, Kieu
Stop the Hate let me do my thang
A child of two worlds I am who I am
There is nothing I need to change cuz I am a.
[Verse 2:]
Viet Kieu, nhung ma huong cua toi gian toi ve que huong
Cho nen ten toi moi co nghia la Viet Phuong
Nhung y cua toi muon noi khong co phai la toi dac biet
Toi chi hoi khac biet, cach suy nghi khac viet
Toi la mot nguoi chau a song o chau lau dai
Va toi di nuoc nao cung bi ho goi la nguoi nuoc ngoai
Yeah homie toi la toi la nguoi Viet Kieu
Bo me lam viec nhieu, cho nen toi biet dieu
Biet dieu, gotta buy my mom and dad a big crib
Overlooking the ocean on top of a big hill
Because they gave their life to give me paradise
I couldn't pay the price to match their sacrifice
They gave me all the tools, so when I get the millions
I'll go back to their village and give it to all the children
Cuz I'm a Viet Kieu, a child of 2 worlds
Using my given talents to serve.
[Hook]
[Verse 3:]
Viet Kieu, und es kommt mir immer noch so krass vor
Ich bin ein Vietnamese mit nem deutschen Passport
Das geht an meine Freunde, denkt nicht ich haett euch vergessen
Bin schon seit Jahren weg, doch denkt nicht ich haett Deutsch vergessen
Als ich noch klein war, fuehlte ich mich einsam
Doch jetzt ist Deutschland wie meine wahre Heimat
Deutschland, mein Aufenthalt war angenehm
Du hast mir alles beigebracht, dankeschoen
I wanna shout out all my people back in Germany
All of my little cousins, y'all mean the world to me
I still remember my first day of first grade
All of my teachers couldn't even say my first name
A lot of white boys made fun of my nose and eyes
But when the girls showed me love they apologized
Homie I represent the Vietnamese diaspora
So you can call me the ambassador.
[Hook]
