Besides the fact that this is literally Dante Basco's The Pest, he's Filipino, not Chinese - not that an American movie would care. There's a difference in comedy between Blazing Saddles and Birth of A Nation. This is the latter. It's not for people who want to laugh WITH Asian people. It's for people who want to laugh AT them because they don't do things exactly like white people. I love Blazing Saddles to this day, but I can't do this sort of thing because in satire, who or what the brunt of the joke is matters.
I've been sitting in the dirt (for 24 hours) I've forgotten my own worth (for 24 hours) Said that you'd be here last night I'm trying to shake you from my skin (for 48 hours) Clean up this mess I've been put in (for 48 hours) I'm guessing you can't always win I'm guessing you can't always win I can't have anything I want They say I'm just too young But it's not my fault I'll find my own way home if I gotta I'll make it all alone if I gotta I'm not so trustful with my friends I'm on the road alone again I guess im tired of giving in I'm sick of wishing you were near You've gone your way, you've made it clear Why do I feel you everywhere? Why do I feel this everywhere? I can't have anything I want They say I'm just too young But it's not my fault I'll find my own way home if I gotta I'll make it all alone if I gotta Don't wanna spend my time Watching the world go by I think I'd rather die And I don't got a plan Not gonna justify To stay where I stand Something I won't deny I can't have anything I want They say I'm just too young But it's not my fault I'll find my own way home if I gotta I'll make it all alone if I gotta I can't have anything I want They say I'm just too young But it's not my fault I'll find my own way home if I gotta I'll make it all alone if I gotta
I never realized when this show was airing but this had to be one of the best songs from Season 1. The music was almost too good for the show, not saying that the show wasn’t good for the target demographic but THESE SONGS stood all on their own. Wish I could stream these on Spotify. 👀
I still play songs from all seasons. But S1-2 are just iconic! I bought the CDs when I was a teen & legit still watch this show on Freeform. Her songwriting songs are legit top tier. Her & her brother created BOPS for this show!
What I find more hypocritical every day is that we want to cancel Aquafina for sounding “” black but here is Dante Basco literally having a ghetto accent and everyone saying that’s so cute
