The story

About this song

Six kids. Six different homes. One apartment complex. We traded lunches, rode BMX till the streetlights came on, and got chased by every mom on the block with a flip-flop. Thirty years later: same crew, same group chat, slower knees.

This one's for the homies who were never just Khmer. Mexican, Filipino, Korean, Vietnamese, Black, Khmer. Different blood, same block. បងប្អូនរហូត.

Tag the homie who's been there since day one.

Lyrics

Same block... same block... [Verse 1] ឆ្នាំកៅសិបបួន នៅផ្ទះល្វែងចាស់ កង់តូចៗ ជិះជុំវិញផ្លូវ Six kids from six different homes យើងប្រាំមួយនាក់ មិនដែលបែកគ្នា Trading lunches at the school bench បាយខ្ញុំធុំក្លិនប្រហុក គេសើចដាក់ But my homie still asked me for a bite ចាប់ពីថ្ងៃនោះ យើងជាបងប្អូន [Pre-Chorus] Different blood, same block ឈាមខុសគ្នា តែផ្លូវតែមួយ Different blood, same block [Chorus] បងប្អូនរហូត Since we were kids បងប្អូនរហូត Still kicking it តាំងពីតូច រហូតដល់ចាស់ Same block, same crew បងប្អូនរហូត Me and you [Verse 2] ម៉ាក់ខ្ញុំស្រែក "កូន! មកញ៉ាំបាយ!" Across the hall, "Mijo, ven acá!" Upstairs, "Anak, kain na!" Next door, "밥 먹어!" Downstairs, "Con ơi, về ăn cơm!" Grandma down the hall, "Baby, get in here!" Lumpia, tamales, galbi on the grill Chả giò, mac and cheese ប្រហុកនៅផ្ទះខ្ញុំ យើងឈប់ឈ្លោះ ព្រោះឆ្ងាញ់ពេក Every mom was our mom ម្ដាយគ្រប់គ្នា ស្រឡាញ់យើងទាំងអស់ And every mom would chase us down ជាមួយស្បែកជើងផ្ទាត់ [Verse 3] ឥឡូវយើងអាយុជាងសែសិប វ៉ែនតា ជង្គង់ឈឺ Mortgages, kids, and group chat jokes នៅតែផ្ញើរូបចាស់ៗ Backyard BBQ, smoke in the air កូនៗយើងរត់លេងដូចយើងពីមុន Same six chairs, a little slower តែចិត្តនៅដដែល [Bridge] Mijo! Anak! 밥 먹어! Con ơi! Baby! កូន! We made it, bong. Different blood, same block ឈាមខុសគ្នា តែចិត្តតែមួយ [Outro] Same block... same block... បងប្អូនរហូត Still kicking it EVERY MOM ON THE BLOCK កូន! មកញ៉ាំបាយ! (Khmer): Kid! Come eat! Mijo, ven acá! (Spanish): Son, come here! Anak, kain na! (Tagalog): Child, let's eat! 밥 먹어! (Korean): Come eat! Con ơi, về ăn cơm! (Vietnamese): Child, come home and eat! Baby, get in here!: Every grandma, everywhere KHMER IN THIS SONG បងប្អូនរហូត: Brothers for life តាំងពីតូច រហូតដល់ចាស់: From little till old ឈាមខុសគ្នា តែផ្លូវតែមួយ: Different blood, but one street ឈាមខុសគ្នា តែចិត្តតែមួយ: Different blood, but one heart ប្រហុក: Prahok, the fermented fish paste that made our lunches famous ស្បែកជើងផ្ទាត់: Flip-flop, the universal mom weapon តែចិត្តនៅដដែល: But our hearts are still the same Created by Somleng Studio with AI-assisted music and visuals.
