(+) Visiting School in North-Korea
Every day, wake on up
by the sunshine
If it rains windowpane
everything on my young mind
Starts to surface like
how can I get out of this
I know this isn’t life
but Im feeling like a catalyst
My mother she just died here
brother he just died here
They keep me in a cell
gotta find a way out there
In my sleep
I dream about my country
They tell me North Korea
is the best but I am hungry
I was talking to my Unnie
in my dreams she said run
Watch out for the towers
and the solders with the guns
They will shoot you
if they catch you
even though youre twelve
And youre just a little girl
taken by the world
In the chance that you make it
go and sell your body
Its everything you got
only cry when youre alone
Never let them see you
if you show a sign of weakness
If it gets too overbearing
just remember all my kisses
The morning passed me by tonight
So i take my sunlight and shine
Morning passed me by tonight
So i take my sunlight and shine
Every day, wake on up
by the sunshine
If it rains windowpane
everything on my young mind
Starts to surface like
how can I get better grades
If I stay an extra hour
I could get another A
My mother went to school here
brother went to school here
Papa graduated too
pressures on cause im new here
In my sleep, I dream about my country
My South Korean pride
and my heroes all above me
I would watch them just to emulate
my TV will articulate
The standard of whats beautiful
my role is to participate
Take a cut, take a slash
On my face, make a mask
Only problem is it covers
what is under it
A hundred twenty pounds
feeling like another lift
I got to get another hit
I promise im not into this
It’ll make me look much better
than I ever could or ever did
The morning passed me by tonight
So i take my sunlight and shine
Morning passed me by tonight
So i take my sunlight and shine
Every day, wake on up
by the sunshine
If it rains windowpane
everything on my young mind
Starts to surface like
what will I go do today
They tell me that im privileged
in my mind that Is brand new to me
My mother isn’t from here
brother isn’t from here
I was born right by my house
never had to go out there
In my sleep
I dream about my country
Born in North America
they telling me I’m lucky
And I barely understand em
cause my mind is on a pedestal
I never had to live
in a cell or barely eat
I barely got my sleep
and the screen broke on my cell
I really hate my life, hash tag FML
Where is my allowance
at my shopping fund is gone
My parents really mean
they make me mow the lawn
And I have to get along
with them I can’t wait just to leave
They’ll never understand me
and I really need to breathe
The morning passed me by tonight
So i take my sunlight and shine
Morning passed me by tonight
So i take my sunlight and shine
