Seattle Chinatown I.D. by The Fung Brothers Lyrics
[Intro: Travis Graham]
Hooooo-ooooh-ooooh, yeah
[Chorus: Travis Graham]
Turn it up, it's the 2-0-6
We in the International District
Chinatown, you know how it goes
Spot for the Asians, you already know
[Verse 1: Andrew Fung a.k.a. Inglish/David Fung a.k.a. D-One]
(Yeah!)
You know the place up the street from the stadiums
It doesn't get a lot of shout outs on the radio!
Ancient languages on signs look alien
An old landmark that still shines radiant!
Okay! Once you exit off of Dearborn
You can feel the streets and you know what you here for
Heartbeat of the Asian Americans
Far East culture, Pan Pacific heritage
So anytime that I'm feelin' like a misfit
I gotta hit the International District!
Chinatown, Japantown, Little Saigon
Cambodians, Thai, Lao, Mien, Hmong
Koreans, Filipinos, shout out to Beacon
Work, live, play, weekday to weekend
It's the C-I-D, let's clean I.D
Comcast Cares Day, it's B-I-G!
[Chorus: Travis Graham/with Andrew Fung]
Turn it up, it's the 2-0-6
We in the International District
Chinatown, you know how it goes
Spot for the Asians, you already know
It don't get no better, better
It don't get no better, better
It don't get no better, better
It don't get no better than this, better than this!
[Verse 2: Andrew Fung/David Fung/Richie Le]
(Uh!)
It's North West, but not Kanye's baby!
Most Asian spot in the Northwest, that's crazy!
So even though I live in Cali now
I can never forget Seattle's Chinatown
It was my first banh mi, my first bowl of pho
My first lion dance, first Japanese bar
My first dim sum, first wonton
My first hot pot, Asian food can't stop
(Ay!)
I'm at Saigon Deli gettin' banh mi
I might go to Mike's Noodles, eat dumplings
Taste from the motherland, oh so yummy
Make sure you got money, it might be cash only
It's my favorite neighborhood - hopefully it's yours
Who's got more karats, jewellery shop or the grocery store?
But don't panic, it's organically sourced
We out in the city, so beautiful ya'll
Ay!
[Bridge: David Fung/Andrew Fung]
Growing up I hit Uwajimaya
Asian snacks and drinks, so fire
Wing Luke, Bruce Lee, inspired
After the club, Purple Dots, required!
Soul in the streets, but we can keep it neat
Comcast here helping with the Spring Clean
So show 'em that we care, by showing that we here
Employees, community partners, volunteers!
It's a beautiful Spring Day to clean up Hing Hay
And show the rest of the the city we got cachet
So pick something up from the market
Or Yelp a spot; trust me, it's worth the parking!
[Bridge: Travis Graham]
Feel it, I know you feel it
International district (feel it, oh)
I know you feel it (uh)
Feel it, (what?) feel it, (let's go!)
If you wanna call me (da-dah, da-dah, da-da-da dadah)
It's just a spot for the Asians (la-dah, la-dah, la-da-da-dah)
It's Seattle (da dah, da dah, da da-da-dah)
Woo, yeah-yeah-yeah
[Chorus: Travis Graham/with Andrew Fung]
Turn it up, it's the 2-0-6
We in the International District
Chinatown, you know how it goes
Spot for the Asians, you already know
It don't get no better, better
It don't get no better, better
It don't get no better, better
It don't get no better than this, better than this!
[Outro]
I love you, National District! Should we go?
[Alternate outro: Andrew Fung]
We really out here, man!
Hooooo-ooooh-ooooh, yeah
[Chorus: Travis Graham]
Turn it up, it's the 2-0-6
We in the International District
Chinatown, you know how it goes
Spot for the Asians, you already know
