Yip Man Said to Bruce Lyrics by Sifu Freddie Lee

2014

It's hard to teach something you're supposed to be born to know
Real martial arts is beyond any combative techniques anybody can show
It is something that words cannot express
There is no such thing as being best
It is the merging of the teachings of the East and the West
The realization that there is no test
Follow Tao and nature will take care of the rest
Death does not exist so you don't need the bulletproof vest
The teachings of Buddha are hard to understand
For the competitive, egoistic, prideful man
It's no wonder Bruce didn't get the approval of Yip Man
Yip Man said don't teach those who are already so strong
These Westerners don't even know right from wrong
Bruce said, we need to share the beauties of Hong Kong
Yip Man said these Westerners will never be able to learn
Teaching the strong to become even stronger is my concern
They do not know how to be humble
They will laugh when they see a weaker person stumble
After you teach them they will all turn against you
Do not be a fool and open up a Chinese martial arts school
In this Wing Chun system, we do not teach foreigners, this is our rule
No I will not allow you to videotape me
To allow all these foreigners to see
You are a traitor!
Don't you realize you are nobody to them, you are just a waiter
They are too arrogant to learn the martial arts
Humbleness is not within their hearts
They will use it to compete
They are known to lie, steal, and cheat
Westerners are the most arrogant and prideful people you will ever meet
You will give them more reason to find someone to beat
Why teach someone how to fight when they are already over six feet
I forbid you to teach any foreigners Wing Chun Kung fu
If you do not listen to me you will have to get out of my school
