this song is so very true (i transcribed it, so forgive me for inaccuracies):
show me the meaning of being desi
fob:
i’m a fob
just look at me
i love maths
or engineering
and clothes that match
don’t interest me, baby
abcd:
a.b.c.d. is who i be
i’m from queens
or new jersey
i talk –(?)–
and fight at all the parties
both:
show me the meaning of being desi
f.o.b. or a.b.c.d.
a.d.a., but no we’re not all the same
and this is how we play the game
fob:
my g.p.a. is 4.2
how to party
i don’t know
papa says, “pre-med padho, bete”
abcd:
i’m jagdeeps
you can call me petes
i don’t speak a single word of punjabi
i pretend to understand hindi movies
both:
show me the meaning of being desi
we drink limca or mango lassi
you’re supposed to make our –(?)–
our last names have ten syllables
fob:
you know me
i’m your t.a.
you newer understand a vord i say
i failed englees
but that ok, baby
both:
show me the meaning of being desi
after we eat, our hands are messy
who we are is now becoming clear
2/3rds of us are apes of men
show me the meaning of being desi
f.o.b. or a.b.c.d.
a.d.a., but no we’re not all the same
and this is how we play the game
