King Kunta lyrics

[Intro]

I got a bone to pick

I don't want you monkey-mouth motherfuckers sittin' in my throne again

(Ay, ay, what's happenin'? K-Dot back in the hood, nigga!)

I'm mad (he mad!), but I ain't stressin'

True friends, one question

[Hook]

Bitch, where you when I was walkin'?

Now I run the game got the whole world talkin', King Kunta

Everybody wanna cut the legs off him, Kunta

Black man taking no losses, oh yeah

Bitch, where you when I was walkin'?

Now I run the game, got the whole world talkin', King Kunta

Everybody wanna cut the legs off him

When you got the yams... (What's the yams?)

[Verse 1]

The yam is the power that be

You can smell it when I'm walking down the street (Oh yes we can, oh yes we can)

I can dig rappin'

But a rapper with a ghost writer? What the fuck happened? (Oh no!)

I swore I wouldn't tell

But most of y'all sharing bars like you got the bottom bunk in a two man cell (A two man cell?)

Somethin's in the water

And if I gotta brown nose for some gold, then I'd rather be a bum than a motherfuckin' baller

[Hook]

Bitch, where you when I was walkin'?

Now I run the game got the whole world talkin', King Kunta

Everybody wanna cut the legs off him, Kunta

Black man taking no losses, oh yeah

Bitch, where you when I was walkin'?

Now I run the game, got the whole world talkin', King Kunta

Everybody wanna cut the legs off him

When you got the yams... (What's the yams?)

[Verse 2]

The yam brought it out of Richard Pryor

Manipulated Bill Clinton with desires

24/7, 365 days times two, I was contemplatin' gettin' on stage

Just to go back to the hood, see my enemy and say...

[Hook]

Bitch, where you when I was walkin'?

Now I run the game got the whole world talkin', King Kunta

Everybody wanna cut the legs off him, Kunta

Black man taking no losses, oh yeah

Bitch, where you when I was walkin'?

Now I run the game, got the whole world talkin', King Kunta

Everybody wanna cut the legs off him

[Verse 3]

(You goat-mouth mammyfucker)

I was gonna kill a couple rappers but they did it to themselves

Everybody's suicidal, they ain't even need my help

This shit is elementary, I'll probably go to jail

If I shoot at your identity and bounce to the left

Stuck a flag in my city, everybody's screamin' "Compton!"

I should probably run for Mayor when I'm done, to be honest

And I put that on my Mama and my baby boo too

Twenty million walkin' out the court buildin', woo woo!

Ah yeah, fuck the judge

I made it past 25 and there I was

A little nappy-headed nigga with the world behind him

Life ain't shit but a fat vagina

Screamin' "Annie, are you okay? Annie, are you okay?"

Limo tinted with the gold plates

Straight from the bottom, this the belly of the beast

From a peasant to a prince to a motherfuckin' king

[Hook 2]

Bitch where was you when I was-

*POP*

(By the time you hear the next pop, the funk shall be within you)

*POP*

Now I run the game got the whole world talkin', King Kunta

Everybody wanna cut the legs off him, (King) Kunta

Black man taking no losses, oh yeah

Bitch where was you when I was walkin'

Now I run the game, got the whole world talkin', King Kunta

Everybody wanna cut the legs off him

[Outro]

(Funk, funk, funk, funk, funk, funk)

We want the funk

We want the funk

(Now if I give you the funk, you gon' take it)

We want the funk

(Now if I give you the funk, you gon' take it)

We want the funk

(Now if I give you the funk, you gon' take it)

We want the funk

(Do you want the funk?)

We want the funk

(Do you want the funk?)

We want the funk

(Now if I give you the funk, you gon' take it)

We want the funk

[Poem]

I remember you was conflicted, misusing your influence
