Only Won, the guy that brought you “Cantonese Boy,” delivers a new track “Dim Sum.” The song was a long time in the making. Only Won got the music over 5 yrs ago, wrote it nearly 4 years ago, finally recorded it last year, and just got the final mix. If you don’t get the dim sum food references ask a Cantonese speaking friend. This song will draw a lot of comparisons to Jin’s Yum Dom Cha.

I you like the song, download it for FREE here. Only Won’s upcoming album “The Lyrical Engineer” is scheduled to release November 2009.

All this writing about Dim Sum is getting us hungry.

Dim Sum Lyrics

Chorus:

I like to eat DIM SUM

I’d like to eat it everyday

You can use a fork if you can’t use chopsticks

To eat DIM SUM there’s no wrong way (2x’s)

Mmm… Yeah, DIM SUM be my favorite,

Gonna order way too much so that I can save it.

That way I could have some each & every day
But before I start, you know I have to pray

to thank God for inventing this wonderful food

They should have a DIM SUM joint in every neck of the hood.

For get the quail & manna give me HA GOW & SIU MAI,

have it with GOOK FA CHA or a little WAI TA NAI,

Oh I love it when the cutie says’, “GAY DOH YUN, how many?

just one, any more? Oh yeah got my granny.

Then there’s my ABC bro who can barely speak Chinese,

cept when it comes to DIM SUM he can speak as he please

Ah…America, land of the free in every major city,

I can fix my DIM SUM need. Just go across the street,

I don’t have to cross the border.

Wait…hold up a sec…I have to place my order

Chorus:

Gotta hurry after church, gotta go to Rice Bowl.

In a rush so I need a DIM SUM order to go.

Cut someone off and I almost got shot

but nothing’s gonna stop me from getting some DON TOT.

Ooo crispy crust w/ that egg custard filling

I could eat as many from the floor to the ceiling.

In ’84 went to Hong Kong, I knew I had it made,

cuz I ate six Cha Sew Bows. I was only in 4th grade.

If my mom didn’t stop me I coulda eaten it all day.

But still I bowed my head & this is what I prayed:

give me CHA SEEW in my BOW to keep me burning burning burning

give me CHA SEEW in my BOW I pray

give me CHA SEEW in my BOW to keep me burning burning burning

keep me burning till the break of day

Oh!

LOH BOK GOH. Everybody oughta know, DA BEAN LOW’s

got no hold when it comes to CHA SEEW SOW.

Oo! Here comes the chicken feet oh it tastes so good.

suck the skin off each toe like everybody should.

Aw Man, I’m getting hungry just thinking about it,…

so Come on everybody let me hear you holla, Shout It!!

Chorus:

The Mind’s Motivation Lyrics:

(verse 1)

now have you ever felt the pain when you’re ignored by your fam?

middle child, young wild, but nobody understands

everyday just passing by, skipping school, changing routes

a bigger picture for the future but I’m tryin to paint it now

all your childhood friends, most of them graduated

I hate it, but you only live once so go and take it

hold the moment, go and own it, take control of your emotions

keep the faith, fix the pieces that were broken

remembering that day when you left out the door

single mom, 3 kids and still no child support?

I was raised independent but myself is always testin me

watching my back and the law’s always stressin me

we gotta eat, survive the streets with intentions

the game is full of fakes, too many seek attention

God is my protection, my perfect is imperfection

yeah and it’s just another lesson to be learned

(chorus)

it’s an everyday struggle

in this life just trying to do me

i gotta work hard for what I want,

it all has a price it don’t come free

you know in every situation

money is the mind’s motivation

though I’m running out of time

I stay on the grind, hustlin’ out on these streets

gotta stay on that grind

and we hustle like everyday

all day, everyday, all day

(verse 2)

I’m growin up you should be proud that I took the right route

the things that motivate my mind, never took a time out

you gotta understand, money is the mind’s motivation

and it can save lives but it drives into hatred

it’s pretty basic, it’s there for the makin’

it’s there so we save it but the greed overtakes it

its pretty crazy what we do to get paid

our mentality is pay me, nothings gettin in my way

I’m a superstar to your eyes and I still need a day job

I still need to get paid, when will it really pay off

ya pitiful, I should have stayed in school and I’ve been a fool

I rap cus it helps me through, you rap cus you think its cool

I’m trying to do me, without making a dance

without taking commands from all the fakes and demands

we all have our values, love is motivation

trust is what it makes it, believe and you’ll create it

(chorus)
