• I found this in my computer… something I wrote a few years ago.   AIN’T NO FOOD LIKE KTOWN LA. 

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  Koreatown, LA

  
  

   

  
  

  Koreatown, LA
  where Ihop and Dennys start my day
  and everybody’s hustlin n’ tryin to get paid

  
  

  Lunch meeting 12 o’ clock Chosun Galbi

  
  

  Or Soondubu at Sogong Dong n’ BCD

  
  

  Zip, Arado, n’ Haneda with fresh sushi
  Ahjumas hookin up the Hite and OB
  Old Home café playin games and memories
  path bing soo at Koffea  & Mr. Coffee
  
  Kimchi-Pasta rockin at Nandarang

  
  

  Shik Do Rak always rockin the Dduk bo sam
  high quality food at Yongsusan

  
  

  JJa Jjiang myun next door at  The Big Dragon…  

  
  

  Round table spreadin love Kkang bbong sae woo…
  you can’t mess with Wako’s Donkatsu  
  Ktown plaza & Aroma comin through
  & old friends at Galleria…

  
  

  
  Koreatown LA, it’s the place to be
  you’ve got to eat here to know it  
  Everybody wants a seat

  
  

   

  
  

  Koreatown LA, it’s the place to be

  
  

  You’ve got to eat here to know it

  
  

  Why the Pho are we waiting 
  
  it’s the city of late night grub & danger
  2am jam packed Hodori’s no stranger
  full of drama like a soap opera

  
  

  On the curb
  ggangpaes fighting under helicopters
  Next door Nakwon has the over flow

  
  

  Ktown LA, always somewhere to go

  
  

  In other cities ktown is a street, a store

  
  

  Ktown LA, is a mini-Seoul

  
  

  
  Dan Sung Sa, write your name on the wall

  
  

  Yi Ga Ja, where the drinks stand tall

  
  

  S-Bar got flat screens on the wall

  
  

  And the tables have buttons to call

  
  

  Unneeh!

  
  

  
   Koreatown LA, it’s the place to be
  you’ve got to eat here to know it 
  smoke free means smoke runs free

  
  

   

  
  

   Koreatown LA, it’s the place to be

  
  

  You’ve got to eat here to know it

  
  

  Everybody wants a seat… 
  
  It wouldn’t be Ktown with out Mexicans
  El taurinos –Brown pride, Red Sauce again
  LAPD trying to see us all burn down

  
  

  Remember K-day 4.29, sa-i-gu

  
  

  Automatics rang free cause they left us to

  
  

  Our signs being burned  They’re raping our hood

  
  

  You betta recognize its not all good

  
  

  Where the help at?

  
  

   

  
  

  Family’s getting looted out

  
  

  My homie’s store burned out

  
  

  We’re on our own, we’re playin lo pro

  
  

  Bounce and turn, Eddie is gone

  
  

  Memories to burn,

  
  

  got my kasa dong sengs with me
  they got game, Korean pride, Korean history

  
  

  and til the day I die

  
  

  I’m cruising on 6^th

  
  

  Vermont and Western, Cruisin in 5^th

  
  

  Normandie, Beverly, and Olympic

  
  

  Be The Reds,

  
  

  Koreatown LA…

  
  

   

  
  

  Koreatown LA, it’s the place to be

  
  

  You’ve got to be here to know it

  
  

  Everybody wants a seat

  
  

   

  
  

  Koreatown LA, it’s the place to be

  
  

  You’ve got to be here to know it
