Chinese Food - 欧阳靖[00:00:00]

My live have been like[00:00:02]

One long journey filled with a lot of ups[00:00:03]

And definitely a lot of downs[00:00:06]

Check it[00:00:09]

I dedicate this verse here to my grandfather[00:00:11]

Who passed away earlier this year[00:00:14]

At his funeral I ran threw a box full of tissues[00:00:16]

My tears are dry but I still miss you[00:00:19]

And I promise I will never forget you[00:00:22]

These last six bars just made it offical[00:00:25]

Yeah I know he can hear me[00:00:28]

Even though he don't speak English[00:00:29]

He can understand clearly[00:00:31]

What his grandson is trying to express[00:00:33]

It's tough but I'm trying my best[00:00:37]

I remember as a kid just running with him[00:00:38]

Every year I'll spend a whole summer with him[00:00:41]

Visited him in the projects[00:00:44]

And he knew I was interred by them[00:00:46]

Shiny objects cutting a Rolex[00:00:48]

Out of magazine ads tell me[00:00:50]

When I grow up I could buy one for my dad[00:00:52]

So much energy like me quite clever[00:00:55]

These are memories I will treasure forever[00:00:58]

Every now and then I still sheld a tear[00:01:01]

Walking through Chinatown[00:01:03]

I feel his spirit in the air[00:01:04]

For your legacy I go harder[00:01:06]

Tell my kids that your great grandfather was a great grandfather[00:01:08]

But let me walk you to this timeline take you back to my pops[00:01:12]

And moms grind they both immaganted to this country as teenagers[00:01:15]

You know tropical American dream chasers[00:01:20]

Immagrating blew up like disco[00:01:23]

As we moving to New York then to Frisco[00:01:25]

My pops said NY let's go[00:01:28]

This was in the 70's when he used too rock a fro[00:01:30]

Bell bottoms pimp hat with the tilted brim[00:01:34]

I seen the pictures and I still don't think it's him[00:01:36]

Fast forward 82 that[00:01:39]

When he met my moms got married and had a baby too[00:01:41]

That baby's who[00:01:45]

That baby's me Jin Au Yeung[00:01:46]

My moms was whoa young[00:01:48]

Only eighteen a senior in high school[00:01:50]

When I was eighteen that's was my school[00:01:53]

I'm in charge of her life[00:01:57]

I put that in every single bar that I write[00:01:58]

Picture a young couple trying to get on track[00:02:01]

What are the options a resturant or laundry mat[00:02:04]

So they plan A[00:02:07]

For that plan[00:02:09]

I was at the resturant every damn day[00:02:09]

But I was only twelve[00:02:12]

I justed wanted to play[00:02:14]

When my friends would come I gave the food away[00:02:15]

I know it that bad for business[00:02:18]

So I appogize now[00:02:19]

If it still make a differences[00:02:21]

I guess deep down I just hated the fact I felt trapped[00:02:23]

And that was my way of getting you back[00:02:26]

I can't go back in time and I hate it[00:02:29]

But I can't tell you[00:02:31]

Your hard work was appacaited[00:02:32]

See to the coustomer[00:02:34]

That just a plate of rice[00:02:36]

But to my family that shit can save a life[00:02:37]

And this's more than Chinese food[00:02:40]

It's a life story of a Chinese dude[00:02:43]

And I ain't come here to tell you what to eat[00:02:45]

Can't just serve food for thought over a beat[00:02:48]

And I to tell you what to eat[00:02:51]

It just food for thought over a beat[00:02:54]
