I represent the silent ones. I represent the ones that never won. They expected me to fail. But nah. I ain t like that. I m tough as nails, smooth like ale, and cold like hail. They try to color my future like the Mekong. While trying to make us forget about the napalms. But don t worry, it won t take long. Til I m at the top. Because I m never going to stop, until I drop. That s because I represent myself, my legacy, and the Hmong.
