Kazuo tells his story of being bullied for being a Black Japanese boy in school.
“Gaijin (外人?, [ɡaid͡ʑiɴ]) ("outside person”) is a Japanese word for foreigners and non-Japanese."
All the Japanese parts are translated by Kazuo himself.
[Chorus 1]
They used to pick on a young 外人
Now they worship me cause I'm Godly
My arrogance is rising at a high speed
So if you hate me, thats too bad cause I like me
(GAIJIN)
Black boy but my eyes chink
Asian boy but my melanin is high key
I used to be the kid always talking so politely
'Til I realized...yeah yeah
[Verse 1]
It all started as a student back in 諏訪小
A new 学校 too hostile for the 横須賀子
All I wanted was to fit in with the kids on the ブランコ
遊びたいのに, the kids would tease me call me names they were rude アホ's
Look at Kazu thinking he is one of us
I should creep behind him, tap his shoulder, and then sucker punch
That'll shut him up, later we should jump this chump
Shove his lunch to his face and watch this motherfucker run run run
毎日生徒と喧嘩
してた、放課後 they'd hit me with their best shots
I get knocked, why these little fuckers want me dead?
Stop! やめて! They'd chase me all the way to the next block
Before school they'd even stare me down on the 電車
だれあいつ?!おい外人なめんな
Put me in a headlock, hit me til some red dropped
だれか助けて!てめえうるせーなー!
ハーフなのにto them I was just a 黒人
So it was necessary not to show defeat
Right before I'd go to sleep, I'd cry my eyes out 'til it soaked the sheets
Hoping things dont escalate (Senpai please don't notice me)
One thing about your enemies is they should never know you're weak
As soon as you expose it be prepared to become overly
Exhausted, take a moment, breathe
I was physically inferior, moving at a slower speed
They must be full of envy cause they see me living my dreams
Plus theyre trying to be cool with meI like they didn't wanna fight me
When they saw me having fun, those カス's never took it kindly
All because my skin resembled a cup of coffee with some light cream
My insecurities were at an all time low
It took a lot of time to have the confidence to find peace
Calling me disgusting, but it's all good though
Now I gotta dime piece and she's fine with a 外人
[Bridge]
外人
僕は…外人
僕は…外人
外人
(x2)
[Chorus 2]
They used to pick on a young 外人
Now they worship me cause I'm Godly
My arrogance is rising at a high speed
So if you hate me, thats too bad cause I like me
(GAIJIN)
Black boy but my eyes chink
Asian boy but my melanin is high key
I used to be the kid always talking so politely
'Til I realized humans don't deserve the nice things
[Verse 2]
I'm up to no good like 不良
Rise above hate that's my 目標
Wanna step to me then its 終了
I put in more work in like it's my 職業
(Whoa Whoa!) Look at Kazu thinking he is all that
Damn right, bitches always hanging off my ballsack
Kidding, but I got no filter, always talk trash
So if we happen cross paths and you get hurt (fall bacl)
It took several years just to love me
EVeryday I got called きもい and ugly
Now I know I'm 美しい even if you fuckers disagree
My imperfections always make me feel complete
カッコつけんなくても、十分
目の前にブロックあっても、進む
Fall down, get back up おれ続く
疑い深い本気でつぶす
They used to pick on the young legend
Now they're all on my dick, apologizing every second
Telling me to just pretend that they werent threatened but my presence
I was always an exception now they're begging for acceptance
So instead of just forgetting by leaving my past embedded
In a place where my depression is present without it mentioned
It is best that I'mma move on maybe add em to my friends list
Cause it's rare to get a chance to give a second first impression
Fuck that, theyre the reason that I cut class
Anxiety attacks and all they did was just laugh
Many years socializing was the thing I sucked at
But lifes too short to still be dwelling on a rough past
My insecurities were at an all time low
It took a lot of time to have the confidence to find peace
Calling me disgusting, but it's all good though
Hate me or like me I am proud to be a 外人
[Bridge]
外人
僕は…外人
僕は…外人
外人
(x2)
YEAH YEAH YEAH
I'm a motherfucking 外人
Yeah yeah, I'm a motherfucking 外人
遊びたくない
肌がチョー暗い
おまえは、おまえは
外人人間じゃない
[Chorus 2]
They used to pick on a young 外人
Now they worship me cause I'm Godly
My arrogance is rising at a high speed
So if you hate me, thats too bad cause I like me
(GAIJIN)
Black boy but my eyes chink
Asian boy but my melanin is high key
I used to be the kid always talking so politely
'Til I realized humans don't deserve the nice things
