I wanna know why we turn a chin about it
Nobody looks like us on the top 100
I feel that bamboo ceiling keeping us under
But baby we’re made of something tougher

Little flat noise, jaw sharper than a diamond
Got my bun in chopsticks, I’m so exotic
Lizard eyes, lemme do my duty nice and quiet
But every day we’re getting louder

'Cause we be dancin’ on it
We be dancin’ on it
We be dancin’ on it
Up on that bamboo ceiling
We just getting started

We be dancin’ on it
We be dancin’ on it
Up on that bamboo ceiling
We just getting started

Hollywood, what have you done?
You’ve soaked us all in bleach
You’ve seared my eyeballs
Foreign exchange us, fresh off the boat
Then make us follow with umbrellas
At award shows

Lady Liberty’s counting her spaces
America, where what’s different is dangerous
You can ignore us, but you can’t erase us
Use to be afraid but now I’m shameless

But we be dancin’ on it
We be dancin’ on it
We be dancin’ on it
Up on that bamboo ceiling
We just getting started

We be dancin’ on it
We be dancin’ on it
Up on that bamboo ceiling
We just getting started

Got that real thing
Dancin’ on that bamboo ceiling
Overheating
Dancin’ on that bamboo, nothing that we
Can’t do
