Song from S(e)oul
My birth place Seoul city since 1989
I was destined to be standing between the lines
of the east and the west
culturally compressed
identities moralities merge and I'm complexed
into a figure I call an international idiot
but my papa always said Jolly the sky is the limit
however in reality
niether the twinkie or the f.o.b.
was the title of my I.D.
skin color the ruler
tradition the mission
prejudice the justice
and one's nationality equals as a category
dividing authenticity
there ain't such thing no more here called uniformity
I was imported the foreigner
they would deport me call me a stranger
no train for me to board everyone's a defender
but I just won't care don't care cuz today is
Just another day being half Korean
Just another day being half American
Just another day living as an alien
Just another day living as the only one

My hometown NC since 1992
I was destined to be adapting everything that's new
saying bless you when achoo
living the American dream
Barney and Elmo as my friend instead of 뽀뽀뽀
chocolate chip cookies dipped in milk instead of 아폴로
and I grew with the gift of being bilingual
helping me mingle globally with people
red, black, yellow, and white
all are the same in my sight
skin color doesn't matter
tradition is an option
prejudice injustice
proud of my nationality
so I anticonformity love individuality
finally do I see there cannot be another me
I was imported the foreigner
they would deport me call me a stranger
no train for me to board everyone's a defender
but I just won't care don't care cuz today is
Just another day being half Korean
Just another day being half American
Just another day living as an alien
Just another day living as the only one
