As a child I was born to be a wife,
Cooking and cleaning trying to stay alive,
Grandma tells me that I have to stand aside,
Let the men eat first so can’t fight,
Watching them eat makes my tummy cry
See whats left and it only just their “ tais” (Hmong word “tais mean plate)
Grandma says this is your life,
You’re a Hmong woman that will soon be a wife,
You’ll have to cook and take...
