Don’t be looking in no book for no schooling on schooled, whigga! It’s like this. If I switch from my left to my right, between my legs, too, to drive around your frozen ass, to lay it in so nice and easy, just like I did with yo mama minutes ago, that’s schooling! Bitch was as wet as shot, I must say. Since ain’t nothing funnier than to be schooled by some old, fresh off the boat chigga in his gooky outfit, all them niggas from North Philly to Oaktown are laughing their fuckin’ ass off. Next, I drop a Downtown Freddie Brown on your snowy white face! Since I didn’t break your ankles, that ain’t no schooling. You just got a facial, though, as in prison foreplay.

Don’t think I’m channeling 50-Yen, Rice Cube or 2Pacs of Ramen, AKA Khantrast. I’ll school that chigga, too. Anthony Zhang’s first album is Chinatowns Favorite. In “Landed in Brooklyn,” he’s eating fried chicken wings with chopsticks, so pretty funny, but he’s still doing that ching chong shit. Khantrast having all his niggas flashing yuans in “Man of the Year” is a boss move, though, and a cultural shift.

Fast Company on 1/14/26, “Why ‘becoming Chinese’ is taking over social media—If your TikTok For You page has recently shifted to videos of people boiling apples and shuffling around in house slippers, here’s why.” Wired on 1/16/26, “Why Everyone Is Suddenly in a ‘Very Chinese Time’ in Their Lives—The viral meme isn’t really about China or actual Chinese people. It’s a symbol of what Americans believe their own country has lost.” South China Morning Post on 2/22/26, “Drinking hot lemon or apple water, wearing slippers at home, having congee for breakfast. These are examples of the new lifestyle trend that has swept social media around the world, with many users declaring they are ‘becoming Chinese.’”
