Have you eaten yet? is what my grandma says to me
Chubby cuz she feed me snacks, swear my name is Scooby
Up there in her kitchen every late night
Noodles at the banquet for the long life
That's why, we got this love that won't die
Love to every strip mall store called "Pad Thai"
Every hood Chinese take-away, Indian buffet
You let our parents provide, this food is heavenly
Shouts to every dim sum girl, you are my favorite
Shouts to every line cook workin' doubles on the daily
Food is love, that's what grandma taught me, I ain't hatin
But if you ain't about the culture, please don't try to "elevate it"
If you ain't about the culture, don't try to "elevate it", nah
If you ain't about the culture, please don't try to "elevate it"

Just the taste of you
Brings me back home
Just the taste of you
Brings me back home

We show our love in different ways, cooking is a form of reciprocity
Family Style, Brother Nature, that mean everybody eats
I'm like Eddie Huang on beats, boogie down, steady cookin,
Something fresh like hotpot meat, ain't no Betty Crocker feast
This is culinary culture, not just commerce to us
Korean BBQ, adobo, dimsum, ramen and pho
Back then we had to cook with scraps, that's what Chop Suey was
Now we got lines to get inside our restaurants like a club
Authentic Asian food in the scene is few in between
Middle fingers to your Lucky Lee's fusion cuisines
That try and demonize what we eat, reduce it to memes
Like, They'll eat anything! They're not even human, it seems!
The media paint us as savages, public eating it up
How you gon talk about our spices? You ain't seasoned enough
Like We ain't whitewashing your dishes, we just cleaning it up
No vultures allowed, get out, if You Peeking, then Duck (BOW)

Just the taste of you
Brings me back home
Just the taste of you
Brings me back home

Halmoni, grandma, what I wouldn't give
Just to taste your food right now
Cooking with you, hearing beautiful stories
Your food become your crown and glory

Just the taste of you
Brings me back home
Just the taste of you
Brings me back home
