assimilation 2008-2010

songs I listened to a lot from 4th to 6th grade. i've been reflecting recently how i ended up here at this point in my life, and i've been trying to start from the very beginning. my conceptions of important themes like love, friendship, meaning, success and masculinity were heavily influenced by pop culture during this time. these songs also built up the foundation of my understanding of what it meant to be american. in alphabetical order 3OH!3 - Don't Trust Me (Lyrics) PANJABI MC Feat.
