[intro: jason & grandma]
ey jason, zen me yang? ni hao bu hao?

[verse 1: jason chu]
this is grandma’s kitchen
pictures of the grandkids when we was infants
an herbal medicine for ev’ry symptom
from indigestion to bad intestines
no need to test it, grandma suggests it
my family’s dressed fashionably
forget paris, our style comes from phd’s
i mean cell phone holsters, polos, jeans
combovers, even khaki pants with the pleats (doctors!)
uncle used to tease, i was a fat kid
now when we at the table he be like “rap, kid!”
but uncle’s business is doin’ under average
but chinese families know how to manage that
after dinner, you know he and pops gonna talk
and a check change hands between some grown-up folk
that’s family law: when family calls
it’s family’s job to pick family up, uh

[chorus: olivia thai]
we’re here, we’re here for you
no matter where you go or who you become
it’s all good, yeah
we’re here, we’re here for you
no matter where you go or who you become
it’s all good, yeah

[verse 2: jason chu]
grandma’s cookin’ chinese soul food
from local asian groceries, not from whole foods
relatives you’ve never seen but they know you
wearin’ socks and sandals, but no shoes
youngest uncle brought his white girlfriend
she uses chopsticks and even speaks mandarin
grandma’s impressed, and yes before they left
she took photo so that she could show them off to her friends
kid table, sittin’ with your rich cousins
your got the benzo, amg 6 cousins
your mom’s face? her look really says somethin’
yale just accepted your really smart cousin (aww man!)
there’s beef, duck, and fishes
various conditions, melamine dishes
when fam come together it’s always delicious
we learned that inside a grandma’s kitchen

[verse 3: jason chu]
no, grandma, i still don’t got a girlfriend
i know you’re waitin’ on a baby, i don’t know, man
ev’ry time she asks the same question then
drop a red envelope, i’m stuntin’, ah!
grandma really loves to show us off
but if you’re white you might think that she’s ignoring us
we don’t hug and kiss to demonstrate love
but braggin’ about us, she’ll talk your ear right off
grandma showed me love’s not just the words we say
i never spoke chinese, still we communicate
every time we ate, she gon’ refill my plate
my favorite dumplings and the buns with sesame
shelves stocked, with asian dvd dramas
vacay to beijing, she bought fake prada
msg products, jasmine tea, hard candy, callin’ me endlessly
that’s my grandmama!
