[00:00.00]A Bowl Of Rice - 顺子
[00:00.47]Written by：顺子Shunza/Joe'B'Baamil
[00:00.95]Takin' my little voyage again
[00:03.76]Thinkin' back into my childhood land
[00:07.36]Drinkin' the white milk she forced me to
[00:10.53]Hershey's chicilate syrup on Sundays too
[00:13.84]Pourin' tasteless white milk into the sink
[00:16.75]Hopin' that grandma didn't see me donin' it
[00:20.33]Couldn't drink nothin' without colour in it
[00:23.35]Hatin' colourless society and provin' it
[00:26.85]Watching too much TV for a Chinese girl
[00:29.57]Living in a new country called America
[00:33.22]Yes she's beautiful she's got her spacious skies
[00:36.09]But what about the ugly parts the conquerors hide
[00:46.45]A bowl of rice is a bowl of memories
[00:49.28]Shovin' it down our hungry throats
[00:52.49]A cup of tea is a cup of tears
[00:55.84]Floodin' down our thirsty throats
[00:58.89]So I write a song to keep
[01:02.26]The memories of you and me
[01:05.62]It shall keep us warm at night
[01:08.85]Even though you're out of sight
[01:18.84]Being hit in first grade by a little black girl
[01:21.54]I knew she felt trapped in her unjust world
[01:24.86]She needed someone to beat because she too was being beat
[01:28.30]By the same society I learned later dreaded me dreaded me
[01:37.62]Dreaded me
[01:40.82]Dreaded me
[01:44.43]The eyeline I was blessed with made my feel superior
[01:47.77]Watchin' sisters slice up theirs who felt inferior
[01:51.11]Things are not the same when the east meets the west
[01:53.92]A foggy glimpse is what they got of 美国 beautiful west
[02:04.37]A bowl of rice is a bowl of memeories
[02:07.12]Shovun' it down our hungry throats
[02:10.36]A cup a tea is a cup of tears
[02:13.64]Floodin' down our thirsty throats so I write a song to keep
[02:20.02]The memories of you and me
[02:23.40]It shall keep us warm at night even though you're out of sight
[02:29.88]A bowl of rice is a bowl of memeories
[02:33.10]Shovun' it down our hungry throats
[02:36.29]A cup a tea is a cup of tears
[02:39.68]Floodin' down our thirsty throats so I write a song to keep
[02:45.99]The memories of you and me
[02:49.35]It shall keep us warm at night even though you're out of sight
[02:55.78]Even though you're out of sight
[02:59.06]Even though you're out of sight
[03:02.29]Even though you're out of sight
[03:05.57]Even though you're out of sight
[03:08.81]Even though you're out of sight
[03:11.97]Even though you're out of sight
[03:15.41]Even though you're out of sight
