Mooncakes

[hook]
Aye, mooncake red bean in the bread roll
多谢奶奶爷爷 for the red envelopes
Aye, lotus seed filling with the egg yolk
And grandma got me a chain that's golden yellow
Aye, mooncakes reminiscing on my past life
Mama in the kitchen cooking something pan fried
Daddy just came home from the restaurant
And it look like we got enough for another month

[Verse 1]
It was like 8 of us at my grandma house
Dad was sleeping on the floor, my mama on the couch
At the restaurant helping out got our feet weak
On the TV no Nickelodeon, only that VHS that my Auntie just rented out from the shop
Watching old Chinese dramas that talking 'bout having honor
My dad black Honda Civic was parked outside by the pigeons
And when I’m seeing the pictures it's like another dimension
When my dad left my mom that was family politics
And now that I'm older I’m a part of it
I'm tryna stay out, reminiscing on the times in the playground
Just digging in the sand for that gold we could never grab
My uncle got kids now, my auntie too
And they lookin for a role model, what can I do?
Damn responsibility been stacking on top my shoulders
Realize that I'm getting older, I’m turnin back to

[Verse 2]
Aye, they said I was good fortune
When I was born, my earlobes was enormous
Aye, for my family gotta make it
Mama she was a hustler, money orientated
My dad came from the struggle, they lost it all in the war
The government took the house and they raided out all the drawers
And every one of em looked at the sky, asked why lord?
So I could now take my family where we ain't been before
Jade on my necklace, protected
I got a warlord in me I'm never resting
Dynasty warrior flow I'm dexterous
Grandma blood in my veins, they can't neglect this
Aye, lotus seed with the green tea
Step outside in the night time when it's freezing
Look at the sky, the wind cries, but still all my memories inside
The pictures in my mind, I find
