I took a right then I took a wrong turn
An old black man pushing a shopping trolley
I didn't know if I should get involved
Trying to find Chinatown
A guy laid out with a knife in his back
Maybe sometimes hold out a little too long
And I don't see too many restaurants
I know I was that man
Go home and sleep it off
It didn't seem to fit
A cop came along, told him, move on
Trying to find Chinatown
Filled with tin cans avoided his glance
Someone asked me for a quarter
I'm nervous and I'm lost
For some soul food, good food, whole food
Trying to find Chinatown
A hungry man can hold out a long time
He didn't look too much like a Chinaman
