First name Jin 靖係我中文名
立字做個青字 睇清楚個頸
無論係後生仔或是係老餅
多謝你支持 真係唔easy
一個 ABC 要照清楚塊鏡
佢哋想知點解啲中文會咁正
係咪有個補習老師 not me
由細到大我睇慣TVB
新紮師兄 梁朝偉真係有型
歡樂今宵 何B同鄭裕玲
日頭猛做就無得停
點講都好 最緊要係你明

ABC係我係我
橫睇點睇都係我
無錯無錯
ABC係我係我
ABC係我係我
橫睇點睇都係我
無錯無錯
ABC係我係我

你駛鬼理我邊到出世 只要我有料
一張出世紙點可以做代表
我問你做竹昇有乜嘢咁失禮
就算我係 你都咪當我食塞米
唔覺唔覺喺美國住咗24年
我今年24歲真係無乜變
時間過得真係太快
好似無幾耐我先至7歲 飲緊維他奶
如果我真係扮我大晒
有怪莫怪 當我細路仔唔識世界
你根本會唔知如果我唔出聲
所以我今次一定要喺度話俾你聽

ABC係我係我
橫睇點睇都係我
無錯無錯
ABC係我係我
ABC係我係我
橫睇點睇都係我
無錯無錯
ABC係我係我

你話我唔係正宗唐人 Who are you
啲鬼佬睇我又咪係黃皮膚
雖然我哋環境係兩個唔同世界
但係分別好少 你唔好踩得就踩
八月十五係唐人中秋節
舊曆新曆根本就無分別
新年流流咪又係逗吓利是
飲吓茶打幾圈 唔係嘅咪鋤 Dee
歐陽靖究竟係邊個
你真係想知 最清楚係我
簡單唻講 三個字 邊三個

ABC係我係我
橫睇點睇都係我
無錯無錯
You know that's me
ABC係我係我
橫睇點睇都係我
無錯無錯




ABC係我係我
You know that's me

Uh, check it check it check it out
Yo, yo listen up
First name Jin, Jin is my Chinese name
All you have to do is look at the tattoo on my neck
Whether young or old
Thanks for your support, it’s really not easy
An ABC has to look carefully in the mirror
They want to know how I speak Chinese so well
“Did you study the language with a tutor?” not me
As a kid I use to watch a lot of TVBMy favorite shows starring Mr. Leung he was so cool
As well as others I even know the theme songs
“Working hard all day and night with no rest”
It doesn’t matter how I say it, just as long as you know…
Chorus: (x2)
ABC that’s me, that’s me
No matter how you look at it, that’s me
That’s right, that’s right
ABC that’s me, that’s me
(You know that’s me)
Don’t worry about where I was born
A birth certificate is only a sheet of paper
I ask you, “What’s so bad about being an ABC?”
Even if I am, don’t take me as an idiot
In the blink of an eye
I’ve already been in the US for 24 years
I’m 24 this year and not much has changed
Time sure flies
It seems like only yesterday I was 7 years old drinking soy milk
If I ever acted like I was “all-that”
Don’t blame me, take it as I was only a child that didn’t know better
I bet you wouldn’t even know if I didn’t tell you
That’s why I have to clarify it at this moment that…
Repeat Chorus x2
You say I’m not officially Chinese, “Who are you?”
In the eyes of foreigners I am “yellow skinned,” just like you
Even though we come from two different worlds
But it’s pretty much the same, so don’t treat me otherwise (T/N: literally translated, “don’t step on me”)
August 15th and Lunar Festival, we celebrate it all the same
Chinese New Year is a time to collect red bags
Get dim sum and whatnot, or maybe even playing some cards
Au Yeung Jin, exactly who is he?
Nobody knows him better than me
Simply put, he is three letters
Which three?
Repeat Chorus x2
Yea, Jin
You know that’s me
