Testo di I Can Only Write My Name

Kids would laugh at my mom's accent And the food that she made Say that stranger Is my brother 'Cause we all look the same Thought I'd be cool if I could laugh too Even at my own expense I'd be just like all of those guys All-American Spent my life wishing My eyes were shaped A little differently And always answered back In English when my family spoke To me Now I'm ashamed I can only write my name I can only write my name I can only write my name I'm ashamed And I'm the only one to blame That I can only write my name I can only write my name I lost it all when I was young So no one would ask me where I'm from And now, I don't speak the language Wouldn't even know how to say That I'm ashamed Wanna sit down with my grandpa I know nothing about smile and nod Instead of talking Only way we know how So forgive me, all the years I was embarrassed Must of hurt to see I couldn't care less I rejected my own culture Like all Americans Maybe I just never had a hero I could look up to It's hard to see yourself In Superman when he looks nothing like you Now I'm ashamed I can only write my name I can only write my name I can only write my name I'm ashamed I'm the only one to blame I can only write my name I can only write my name Lost it all When I was young So no one asked me Where I'm from And now, I don't speak The language Wouldn't even know How to say That I'm ashamed I can only write my name I can only write my name I can only say That I understand And really I can't Stop running from who I am And write my own name
