    Jin raps so fast he beats his fierce competition every Fight Klub, he was the reigning champion on BET's 106th & Park. But who knew this ABC (American Born Chinese) could be just as lethal spitting in Cantonese? Jin is dropping his first Chinese language album dedicated to his bi-cultural Chinese roots titled, ABCJin on Urge.com Feb 13th and in stores Feb 20th in the U.S.

    Lyrics Translated:

    "ABC" Translation
    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 the support
    It's 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 allot of TVB
    My 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"
    Just so you know...

    ABC that's me
    No matter how you look at it
    ABC 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 think I'm 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 as changed
    Time sure flies
    It seems like only yesterday I was 7
    Years old drinking VITA SOY milk
    If I ever did act like I was all that
    Don't blame me 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...

    ABC that's me
    No matter how you look at it
    ABC that's me
    (You know that's me)

    You say I'm not officially Chinese "who are you?"
    In the eyes of foreigners I am "yellow skinned"
    Just like you
    Even though are backgrounds are two different
    Worlds
    But it's pretty much the same
    So don't treat me otherwise
    Lunar festival and Chinese New Year
    We all celebrate together thru
    Traditional gatherings such as dim sum and what
    Not or maybe even playing some cards
    Who exactly is Jin Au-Yeung?
    Nobody knows him better than me
    Simply put he is three letters
    Which three?

    ABC that's me
    No matter how you look at it
    ABC that's me
    (You know that's me)

    i really think jin should invest alot of money into some good beats ... like from dr. dre or one of those 'beat artists'

    because with his ingenius lyrical skills ... it would be an instant hit.
