- My live have been like
One long journey filled with a lot of ups And definitely a lot of downs Check it I dedicate this verse here to my grandfather Who passed away earlier this year At his funeral I ran threw a box full of tissues My tears are dry but I still miss you And I promise I will never forget you These last six bars just made it offical Yeah I know he can hear me Even though he don't speak English He can understand clearly What his grandson is trying to express It's tough but I'm trying my best I remember as a kid just running with him Every year I'll spend a whole summer with him Visited him in the projects And he knew I was interred by them Shiny objects cutting a Rolex Out of magazine ads tell me When I grow up I could buy one for my dad So much energy like me quite clever These are memories I will treasure forever Every now and then I still sheld a tear Walking through Chinatown I feel his spirit in the air For your legacy I go harder Tell my kids that your great grandfather was a great grandfather But let me walk you to this timeline take you back to my pops And moms grind they both immaganted to this country as teenagers You know tropical American dream chasers Immagrating blew up like disco As we moving to New York then to Frisco My pops said NY let's go This was in the 70's when he used too rock a fro Bell bottoms pimp hat with the tilted brim I seen the pictures and I still don't think it's him Fast forward 82 that When he met my moms got married and had a baby too That baby's who That baby's me Jin Au Yeung My moms was whoa young Only eighteen a senior in high school When I was eighteen that's was my school I'm in charge of her life I put that in every single bar that I write Picture a young couple trying to get on track What are the options a resturant or laundry mat So they plan A For that plan I was at the resturant every damn day But I was only twelve I justed wanted to play When my friends would come I gave the food away I know it that bad for business So I appogize now If it still make a differences I guess deep down I just hated the fact I felt trapped And that was my way of getting you back I can't go back in time and I hate it But I can't tell you Your hard work was appreciated See to the coustomer That just a plate of rice But to my family that shit can save a life And this's more than Chinese food It's a life story of a Chinese dude And I ain't come here to tell you what to eat Can't just serve food for thought over a beat And I to tell you what to eat It just food for thought over a beat
