《Chinese Food》歌词

[00:00:00] Chinese Food - 欧阳靖

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

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

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

[00:00:09] Check it

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:31] He can understand clearly

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:03] Walking through Chinatown

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:39] Fast forward 82 that

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:07] So they plan A

[00:02:09] For that plan

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:19] So I appogize now

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:34] See to the coustomer

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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