[English]

Singing karaoke inside the villa.

Silver dragon fish swimming in the pool.

I gave Uncle a tea set.

He ground the ink and immediately wrote four characters for me.

Unfold a grand blueprint.

The master himself penning the characters.

Unfold a grand blueprint.

Moved it to the office.

Unfold a grand blueprint.

Even Guan Yu nods in approval.

Good luck can't always stay on top because

He says if you're going to play, play big.

Only a huge pirate ship can accommodate the rats.

It's fine to offend the petty.

I despise offending a gentleman.

A gentleman doesn't covet a cup.

That's like offending the Tao.

The black, gray, blue, and white paths each have their own ways.

Going against the current makes the water rise and the boat float higher.

Those who love money above all have no sense of righteousness.

I say it's for my brothers, not for the weak.

The younger brother takes it as his life.

The wild one leaves everything to fate.

Lam Mo holds the sorrow of frost.

His sword points at a revolution against demons.

People get too addicted to gathering wealth.

Human kindness is more fragile than glass.

The world is full of all kinds of people.

Everyone has their own grievances.

Uncle likes to watch the scenery.

There is no righteousness on the streets.

Lam Mo must gamble for his life even without money.

Rolex or AMG?

Singing karaoke inside the villa.

Silver dragon fish swimming in the pool.

I gave Uncle a tea set.

He ground the ink and immediately wrote four characters for me.

Unfold a grand blueprint.

The master himself penning the characters.

Unfold a grand blueprint.

Moved it to the office.

Unfold a grand blueprint.

Even Guan Yu nods in approval.

Good luck can't always stay on top because (no mistake).

The arcade's a mix, 66 (smooth sailing), Da Shun—man, we're good.

(no mistake)

Cycling through Yuexiu, Little Bei strikes gold in my neighborhood.

(no mistake)

The imperial blossom is my “California Love.”

Let Swordglow and White Snow Fairy enjoy a rustic feast on the white clouds.

The Taiping Hall's western restaurant moved, but its spirit remains here.

Enemies' fantasies turn to foam, like takeout boxes from a roast shop.

Buy a Uncle Jiu chicken on the street, dip some baby bok choy in the hot pot.

That late-night snack comes from a street stall, yet we're treated like big stars.

Cantonese people in Beijing rap in Cantonese, man, we stand up.

They say we can't stand up, even their mothers don't recognize them.

On the Pearl River, I row dragon boats, then simmer the pot and sip iced tea.

Ughh, cooking, cooking.

Little Master of Chinese Cuisine.

A trendsetter of Guangdong street style.

Shouldering a Haiyin CD case.

In that spa pool, the water must be clean enough—it's an unspoken rule.

Old brands never lose their flavor.

Char siu buns topped with a drizzle of honey.

The zongzi we eat are those made with alkaline water.

Unfolding the grand blueprint, I've practiced calligraphy until I'm exhausted.

Then I pusssssh.

Singing karaoke inside the villa.

Silver dragon fish swimming in the pool.

I gave Uncle a tea set.

He ground the ink and immediately wrote four characters for me.

Unfold a grand blueprint.

The master himself penning the characters.

Unfold a grand blueprint.

Moved it to the office.

Unfold a grand blueprint.

Even Guan Yu nods in approval.

Good luck can't always stay on top because.

[Chinese]

別墅裡面唱K

水池裡面銀龍魚

我送阿叔茶具

他研墨下筆直接給我四個字

大展鴻圖

大師親手提筆字

大展鴻圖

搬來放在辦公室

大展鴻圖

關公都點頭

鴻運不能總是當頭因為

他說要玩就要玩得大

賊船越大老鼠才坐得下

得罪小人沒關係

得罪君子我看不起

世上君子不貪杯

等於得罪了道

黑灰藍白道亦有道

逆流才會水漲船高

愛財如命的人沒有義

我說是對兄弟不是pusy

細佬安之若命

顛佬聽天由命

攬佬拿把霜之哀傷

劍指妖魔革命

人太沉迷收米

人情軟過玻璃

江湖總是形形色色

誰還沒點詬病

阿叔喜歡看風景

街頭中無道

攬佬要沒錢也得博命搵

勞力士還是AMG

別墅裡面唱K

水池裡面銀龍魚

我送阿叔茶具

他研墨下筆直接給我四個字

大展鴻圖

大師親手提筆字

大展鴻圖

搬來放在辦公室

大展鴻圖

關公都點頭

鴻運不能總是當頭因為 (無錯)

騎樓混著，66 大順 man we good

(無錯)

騎行越秀，小北淘金我的 hood

(無錯)

帝女花，是我的 《California love》

聽任劍輝跟白雪仙，在白雲吃個農家樂

太平館西餐廳搬了，但精氣神還在這

敵人幻想變泡沫，像燒臘店的外賣盒

路上買個九爺雞，火鍋裡燙個娃娃菜

那宵夜來自大排檔，我們卻被人當大牌

廣東人喺北京，唱住粵語 rap man we Stand up

話 Stand 唔到概，d 佢到佢阿媽都唔認得

喺珠江 skr，當我賽龍舟，然後啫啫煲，同 飲 涼茶

ughhh，cook cook cook

中華小當家

廣東街頭潮流trendsetter

海印打口 CD 箱子肩背著

在那 spa 游泳池，水質必須夠乾淨，這是"潛規則"

老字號絕不會變味了

叉燒包加蜂蜜點綴著

吃的粽子絕對是那鹼水的

大展鴻圖，我練字練累了

Then I pusssssh

別墅裡面唱K

水池裡面銀龍魚

我送阿叔茶具

他研墨下筆直接給我四個字

大展鴻圖

大師親手提筆字

大展鴻圖

搬來放在辦公室

大展鴻圖

關公都點頭

鴻運不能總是當頭因為
