A-Zn FOODS - Year of the OX

Asian-American aim for the perfect balance

Came to America, say hurray for the parents

Born in the states, but my Grandmother raised me though

Before I learned to talk, I learned the hand-water ratio

I get mad as fuck when I see our foods getting gentrified for the mass to love

Why they selling kimchi for 30 bucks at the Gastropub?

If it don’t stink it ain’t real, don’t mask it up

Think it’s whack if you’re askin' us

I’m tryna be friendly but then it offends me

Added sauce to my culture to make it more trendy

We wrote a list of various foods that we recommend

In alphabetical order, pay attention, now lets begin

Americans have bologna and white bread, my momma mixed the Abalone and rice

kept at a high temp' of boiling water to make a thick stew

Parents didn’t care if I was sick I couldn’t skip school

B is for Banh Mi, a baguette sandwich that’s been filled with ingredients that

people in Vietnam eat

Ya’ll remember this deli sold 'em for 5 each, how they managed to keep it

open’s beyond me

And Congee is like Chinese porridge, but try a bite you be like «I need more»

And 'den some and then you get you some Dim sum, delicious with a never-ending

menu to pick from

And everybody need to try some Edamame, the feature is the Fugu could be fatal

if you sloppy

Then get some Ginger and use it to clean your palate

And take a sip of Green Tea to keep the balance

Got Rice bitch?

Got rice?

Hurry up, holy shit homie I need some Haejang-Guk, hangover problem I had a

bottle-

I had one too, what happened to that shawty that you left with?

She got sloppy, she spilled her Sake while eating some Ikayaki

Jokingly choking on Jokbal in front of my 조카, that’s my nephew

Laughin' at me while clutchin' his menu

Seein' them kill the Kimchi, I told them I see the me in you, let’s stick to

the roots, he said «Okay, let’s get Korean food»

And the comes the Lechon and Longanisa, with Filipino cuisine there’s really a

lot to speak of

And have I mentioned the stew tho, Menudo?

Get you a couple of spoon-fulls, then you know

Then N Noodle, you already knew tho- it ain’t nothin' new tho-

Name one Naengmyeon but don’t forget about Ramen and Udon

Drunken or sober, leave you with somethin' to chew on

Take a sip of Oolong, then order the Ox tail

Way my father made it, came in like Kramer in Seinfeld

More than often I order an Octopus grill, drizzle some Chili oil on top and

they call it a meal

Hold up, from V.A.

shows, M.D. Philly down to the A to the C.A.

shows we ate Pho

P-H-O, that’s how we roll, summer or spring?

What do you think?

We ate both, is that even a question?

Quail eggs and intestines, go to Queen’s for the hotpot

They got quite the selection

Raised by the grains, remember rice is life

Whether white or fried, that’s my ride or die

Got Rice bitch?

Got rice?

Secretly take her to sacred Sushi spots

Take her on the tour of the Toro show, or say «you decide»

Usually the Uni’s truly Umami, you don’t want it raw, then choose the Unagi

Various versions of Vermicelli, my Viet friends in Virginia use vinegar fish

sauce and the pork belly

One time I was eating wagyu and wontons while watching rom-coms eating some

banchans from bonchon

When I find out how to make Xiaolongbaos, I’mma fuck around, sell 'em souped up

inside my house

When not recording, I might be ordering Yakitori’s

I’ll stick with Yukgaejang, and

See I was afraid with the Z, like how do we play it?

The problem with Z is our mom’s don’t know how to say it

We researched to finish this, you have to believe me

A through Z wasn’t easy

But we ain’t hold back

Wait, go back that’s a Zucchini

Squash this, 2017 A-Z-N pride with the YOX flip

You got rice bitch?

You got rice bitch?
