POINT BLANC feat. Jaclyn Victor - Ipoh Mali
(Intro)
Yo, this song’s close to the heart, it’s
my hometown baby, representin’
Ipoh where you at?
(Chorus)
Ipohmali Ipoh Ipohmali
I sing it loud
and proud that’s who I be
Cos’ small town dreams
do come through
so stand up and represent where
you from too boo Uh
Ipohmali Ipoh Ipohmali
I sing it loud and proud that’s who I be
Cos’ small
town dreams do come through so stand up and
represent where you from too boo
(Verse 1)
Yo I was born and raised in a place
where the hottest women come from
Ipoh city
that’s where I’ll always belong
Don’t get me
wrong yo
I’m KL lite now
Its just that my roots
stay strong
Growin’ up as a Ipoh chink kid
representin’ it
Ipoh Garden Eastside yo was the
hood I was kickin’ it
I grew up poor but I had
the riches memories
Wooley Food Centre rockin’
arcades religiously
And after school
me and my
crew
DFS would be-boy on the sidewalks in front
of Fair Park shops
And as my story drops
I recollect I never had them fancy kicks, fancy
clothes all I had was Hip Hop
And peer pressure
left me with a scar cos' when kids were rockin’
Airwalks I was rockin’ Bata/Back then I had
nothin’ but a dream to be a rap star Now who
would have thought this Ipoh chink would get this
far?
Chorus 1x
(Verse 2) Yo I’m a Ipohmali chinaman
I represent
small town kids havin’ big dreams so understand
When I spit this rhyme yo’ I’m spittin’ it right
My flows divine and miraculous givin’ the blind
sight, haha Back in the day circa ‘95
In St.
Michaels Church where I prayed for my life to get
better So I can be mah’ family’s provider
the answer
was to audition for Poetic Ammunition’s
replacement rapper
I dropped the beatbox blew Yogi
B away
got the record deal
had a choice to make
leave for KL or do I stay?
Cos’ everybody sayin’
then bein’ a rapper don’t pay
From Bingotown to
Greentown I was strollin’
contemplatin’ what mah’
life’s future would be holdin’
Everybody I knew
was all against it
they said 16 yearold Ipoh kid
will never make it But I
persevered A boy with
no fear I had hopes as high as Hotel Excelsior
For years I proved my critics wrong
that’s why I
wrote this song to tell the world where I’m from
cos’ I’m…….
Chorus 1x
(Bridge)
We Ipohmali baby here to show y’all what
we got Never underestimate yourself cos’ you can
make it no matter where you are It ain’t where
you’re from but how you make it to the top Cos’
we are Ipohmali baby, here to show y’all what we
got
To all mah’ peeps all down at JB
Throw your hands
up if y’all hear me
To all mah cats down at KL city
Holla at me if y’all hear me
To all my
pheng ew across the sea now
Penang khia are y’all
still down?/ And everybody across the nation/ you
can make it just be patient
(Verse 3)
Now flash forward to the present
mah’ life at this point
Nobody knows mah’ real name
they all call me Point
I’m an industry veteran
10 years in the
game 3 LPs now that’s evidence
I seen it all
the ladies, the groupies, the fancy parties, award
ceremonies, glory and all that money (money)
But
I learned the hard way that fame came with a
price
For Point Blanc to be more famous than Ipoh
chicken rice
(Outro singing)
Ipoh, Ipoh, if y’all afraid go
call the popo
It’s your boy Point lettin’ you
know
the hottest chink hollerin’ from Ipoh
(Repeat 1x)
(Outro adlib)
Voyeur Records! It ain’t where
you’re from
its where you at
So be proud of
where you’re from baby, cos’ I am
