Richie Le - The Pho Song lyrics

[Hook: AJ Rafael] I knew from the steam it was ready Looking at that bowl, it was heavy Wait a second 'cause it's hot right now Whether homemade or when we go out, pick it up 'cause It's ready, it's, it's ready, ready, yeah It's ready, it's, it's ready, ready, yeah It's ready, it's, it's ready, ready Baby, come and join me for a hot bowl of pho [Verse 1: Richie Le] Yo, it's ready to go, a hot bowl of pho does the body good We kept it Viet though, didn't go Hollywood No fusions, eating none other than The same recipes that came from the motherland Chicken noodle soup of the Viets, nóng quá Gotta hit the soul when I sip, thiêt mà From Hanoi to Saigon, the North to the South Then introduced to the world when the war broke out "I love you!": something Viets moms rarely say But show that they do with the food on our plates And who would've think we would be now Represented by pho to all these people? [Hook] [Verse 2: Richie Le] Okay, I met Pho Queen from 9021-PHO In the silky áo dài, un-pho-gettable Can't forget how she simmered the broth While skimming the top for fatty soup, a.k.a that nước béo! The one Viet dish that I liked as a kid Nostalgic, brings me back home when I sip The hearty beef soup, rice noodles and meat Sliced onions, with a plate of fresh picked greens With a confidant chest, everybody claims that their mom's is the best C'mon, you know you've said it (I mean, it really is though!) But its all in good fun Just the fam and the friends hanging out, eating pho [Hook] [Bridge: AJ Rafael] Siracha on and hoisin sauce in the little white side dish for dipping, ya'll The broth has got flavors that don't need hiding I know that it's Viet, but a soup everybody loves The cure if you're ever hungover, so baby, won't ya come over? [Hook] [Pause & transition] [Intro] (Mustard on the beat, ho!) [Verse 3: Richie Le] Came a long way from the Paris by Night And karaoke every weekend Nowadays, ask parents what they like They'll say SBTN Michelle Phan, Nat Tran, Kathy Nguyen Thai Viet G, Ca**ey Ho, Chris Dinh Pioneered the way, I'm trying to carry it on So any doubts that I got, I'm trying to bury them all If you can, you should join a VSA Get cultured, you could be the bae And learn what our parents had to go through when it came to the war, sacrifices that they made (hold up) Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City? Either name don't offend me You know I made a song about pho to show love to my people so let me know if ya'll with me (what up?) [Hook: AJ Rafael] I love to get pho I love to get that pho When the broth be too strong When they make it way too strong Go order, turn up, bro, pour it on up 'Till I can't even eat no more Get sleepy, wake up, then eat more pho You know they keep it warm, let's roll I love to get pho Let's-let's, let's roll I love to get pho I love, let-let-let's roll
