Lyrics
I wake right up and I got to go
I work from five till' three that's the flow
Create my dishes
Tasty and fragrant
Strong flavors making a statement
I look good baju too clean
My food always up on your FYP's
They know my name don't need an intro
But I'll run through my life for those who don't know
I was stuck in a 9 to 5
Always rushing didn't have a life
I couldn't keep up with all the workload
Everyday tired but even so
I did well but was not content
With my job at hand something wasn't a ten
I felt like this was not what I wanted
Until one day my troubles overwhelmed me
How can I make my life more colorful
How do I make my smile more tasteful
A 9 to 5 is this my life
Is this the only way that I'll survive?
Everyday rushing in and out of the office
Penat bro
I never eat, I don't sleep
The sun I don't see
Every day's the same until
One day my father came to me
He said adik can you help me please
The stall give me headache and heart pain
Please take over before I insane
I dropped everything and went to his aid
The business at stake
I must do my best
I put everything on social platforms
And created a massive media sandstorm
Now I found my purpose I'm shining
Everything is good the store's blooming
Hipster hawker all on the front page
The food's too good they put me on stage
This sister can cook
This sister can sing
This sister got style
This sister got wow
This sister got bling
This sister can cook
This sister can sing
This sister got style
This sister got wow
This sister got bling
My face everywhere,I cover all bases
Always there right time and right places
Star of the show my name leaves a ring
This can sister can cook
This sister can sing
Uh (This sister can cook)
This sister can cook
This sister can (This sister can sing)
Yea Chingay 2025 are you ready
Well known far and wide this nasi lemak pandan couscous
Drive them crazy with the cooking seems like they got loose screws
Come together all around to eat and have a good time
If you don't believe me just ask TENGY know I'll never lie
No she don't lie
The food is too fire
A chef bonafide
A plate of fried rice
Some teh with cold ice
I'm too satisfied
How do I pick from a million options I just can't decide
Stuck in queue for too long but the smell of the ambience always just keeps me excited
I want a some wanton noodles with the soup
Chicken rice got me in the mood
Soya bean drink on the side,
Sugarcane is stuck inside my mind
Oh my
Can never get over the culture we have for food
The smell in the air and the bustling aisles
No place in the world that can do it like ours
No place in the world that can do it like ours
Ruling the nation this hawker is queen
I want y'all to shout it I want y'all to sing
This sister can cook
You know she can sing
This sister got wow
You know I got style
You know I got bling
This sister can cook
You know she can sing
This sister got wow
You know she got style
You know she got bling
My face everywhere I cover all bases
Always there right time and right places
Star of the show my name leaves a ring
This sister can cook this sister can sing
Wow Madam Omera, that was amazing
Yea a hawker and a rapper
Really power
Aiya please la
This one only a small taste of what I have in store?
You not penat ah
You deserve a day off after this
Mdm Omera I have to say,
I'm feeling inspired in my own way
You know your story just move my heart
Reminded me of how I start
Wait Jack how'd you just do that
We all knew you cook but you can also rap
What's your story
It's getting interesting
What's next Jack can you also sing
Back when everyone was stuck at home
I felt the boredom coming over me
I turned to pot and pans to get me through my sorrows
Found love for cooking unexpectedly
Needed inspiration was searching for something to make
So I look towards the hawkers for ideas just what I needed
All this time the answers I could find it in the fire
Now all these questions flooding through my head
How about some
Fried rice fried chicken thighs
Chilli crab or roti canai
Salmon head in some curry
Oh that actually sounds quite nice
Tell me whatchu want
Tell me whatchu need
Know you came round to eat
Neighbor's, friends or family
It doesn't matter so grab a seat
Tell me whatchu love
Tell me whatchu crave
I got recipes for days
Blue pea sambal chilli paste
Doesn't that just sound great
Tell me whatchu want
Tell me whatchu you love
Everybody grab a seat
Tell me whatchu crave
Tell me whatchu need
So come together let's eat
Okay Jack, but now it's my turn
Miss Yasha
Rubies, gems and diamonds
Got a treasure chest of taste
Filled with your excitement
I can see it on your face
My creations go beyond the surface
Questioning your mind
Every dish leaves room for wonder
An experience worth your time
Let me tell you how I got it
Hawker center that's the place
So the question left unanswered is
What does make your heart race
Every ounce of this perfection and it looks like just like a dream
Every measurement and innovation never what it seems
Pour my heart and mind into it and I'll always get it right
Feed your soul and leave you questioning your sense with every bite
All these creations we can't be confined
Experimentation is where I reside
Not just for hunger but a feast for your eyes
Show you
What does it mean to me
Mean to little me
Rubies and diamonds
I'll add a sparkle to your taste
Not complicated
Emulsifying on your plate
Might be addiction
Not a thing that you can say
Rubies and diamonds and all that you crave
Rubies and diamonds
Rubies and
Rubies and diamonds
Wow, I didn't know the Hawker Centers were such big inspirations for you guys
Of course the diversity and variety of hawker food sparks my imagination
Same! Where else can you find food from every culture in Singapore
There's something delicious for everyone
They are where some of my best memories with my friends and family were made
Feels like one big community bonded by our love for food
Actually, I just had a talk with a friend about this
Shazza take it away
For every walk of life we have
For every belief that you embrace
Don't matter the story
Don't worry the past
Unite in this place that we all have
Closer to family
Love or your friends
This place is where memories never end
A haven filled with culture,
Every flavor on our map
Where we're together
Hawker center wonder
Everybody's feeling alright
For generations
Place of inspiration
Where ideas are coming to life
Hawker center wonder
Everybody let's unite
The culture where people from all walks of life can unite
The place where every idea that we had came to life
The center where we always savored our every bite The food that we grew up loving for all of our lives
But we had to part and we couldn't connect for awhile
Times were tough because we couldn't make a sound
Reminiscing the bustling aisles and the scent in the air
The hawker center is where my heart and passion stays
It will always be there
How we come together in a place that we hold closer to our hearts
Where our stories always start
There's no place in the world like what we have
This feeling and people that always last
Where the hawker always reigns
Is where our people are the same
Nobody can take this culture away
A place where this harmony always will stay
Hearing our voices together why don't we just
Come together let's share these emotions
We were always here from the start
The start
We'll be the hawker center of attention
We just need to show who we are
We are
Nobody can recreate
These flavors coming straight from the heart
The heart
Feel it
Show it
We just want this feeling of
Joy don't come easy when we're hiding our smiles
I know how that feels all too well
Rainy days they take a toll on you now
All you need is something to help you out of
These tides will change but you won't be alone
No more
Just look around you'll find that we'll be strong
For you and me so
Find (Find)
Your joy (Your joy)
Everything will be alright
Cause we're together so
Move (Move)
And love (Love)
Your people are behind you
So we just want you to
Feel it
Show it
We just want this feeling of joy
Find it
Love it
We just want this feeling of joy
Feel it (Do you feel it)
Show it (Show)
We just want this feeling of joy
Find it (We gotta find)
Love it (We gotta Love)
We just want this feeling of joy (of joy, of joy)
