The Mamak Anthem

I first caught it on air on hitz.fm. The Morning Crew made another parody. This time it's a take on Will.i.am's 'I Got It From My Mama', aptly named 'I Got It From My Mamak'. This time they got Jin the MC to do a rap on it too.




Check out the hilarious lyrics.


Hey JJ...

Laparla...

Yeala, where you wanna go ah?

Dunno, you got kereta?

No ah... jalan lah

Here we go!

JJ, where'd you get your canai from?
Rudy, where'd you get your maggi from?
JJ, where'd you get your tosai from?
Rudy, where'd you get your curry from?

I got it from my mamak! I got it from my mamak! I got it from my mamak! I got it got it got it...

JJ, where'd you get your kopi from?
Rudy, where'd you get your nasi from?
JJ, where'd you get your sambal from?
Eh, Rudy, where'd you get your tapau from?

I got it from my mamak! I got it from my mamak! I got it from my mamak! I got it got it got it...

Mamak, looking good from his head to his toe,
Curry overload, body out of control,
Open 24, you can always go,
So happening, also got cendol,

Roti smelling good, they don't use ghee,
It's almost four, it's the place to eat, (apa khabar?)
You can tell curry's been there for a week, (wah sedap!)
Mamak made it hot, I can feel the heat!

So be veli good and thank your mamak,
He makes food just like a sauna,
Panas, panas, here it comes now, panas, panas, here it comes now,
Oooo

I got it from my mamak! I got it from my mamak! I got it from my mamak! I got it got it got it...

Aney, Aney, Tolong kira please boss!

(Mamak boss kaneke-ing)

- Okay, *patteli-nabeli-aseh*
- What?
- Ten ringgit forty cent, buuuttt for you guys - Ten ringgit.
- THANK YOU MACHA!

Eh Rudy..
Ah..
Mmm, tak rasa la. Not enough spice la...
Don't worry, I know what to do man.
Really?

(Telephone dialling)
HEY JIN!
Ow Sh*t, it's the morning crew!
Hahahahahahaha

Ho, you ain't hungry?
Well - I - am,
Take you to a place where they don't eat ham,
Speak malay or speak chinese,
A little bit of rice and some black eyed peas,
Where else can you go and eat real late?
Straight from the club and it's food on your plate,
Love Mackie Diz, but not today,
Think I'm in the mood for some cool teh,
Tell JJ, I think I found a winner,
Me and Rudy, we both missed dinner,
So you know that we're ready to eat,
No durians, now please have a seat!

Come on...
I got it from my mamak! I got it from my mamak! I got it from my mamak! I got it got it got it...

All these food right here, I got all these from my MAMAK.
All these food right here, I got all these from my MAMAK.

If the roti really fine, 9 times outta 10, its coming from my mamak,
If the kopi real sweet, 9 times outta 10, its sweeter at my mamak,
If the cat's really ugly, I bet you, it is not at my mamak,
If the girl's real fine, 9 times outta 10, she's hanging at my mamak,
If you're chilling in subang, 9 times outta 10, you're chilling at my mamak,
If you're hanging in ampang, 9 times outta 10, you're hanging at my mamak,
At my mamak!

JJ, where'd you get your canai from?
Rudy, where'd you get your maggi from?
JJ, where'd you get your tosai from?
Rudy, where'd you get your curry from?

I got it from my mamak! I got it from my mamak! I got it from my mamak! I got it got it got it...
Roti make some noise!
If you like kopi, make some noise!
If you like mamak, make some noise!
Make some noise, Make some noise, noise, noise...
(noi, noi, noi, noi, noi...)

Ok, ok enough of the noise, eh - macha, macha, Rudy - Stop with the tin cans la!
Are you serious?
Yeala please
Alrite
Eh, but how's your roti ah?
Ooo, dashyat man
Eh, eh whatchu got eh watchu wat's that?
Eheh, chicken, lamb, everything inside!
Got telur?
GOOOOOTTTT

Edited from ice-shaun's lyrics.


*Patteli-nabeli-aseh is just my version of ten ringgit and forty cents. It is by no means, an accurate pronounciation of the Indian language.
