Steak Um (feat. ScHoolboy Q)

Don't forget who I am, don't forget what I am I am a black dude And don't ever forget how I got here My ancestors were kidnapped I don't even know where the fuck I'm from They were put on the bottom of boats They sailed them across the Atlantic Many of them died, only the strongest survived And once they got here, they beat the humanity out of my people They turned us into beasts of burdens They made us do their work and the irony is Hundreds of years later, they called us lazy We fought in the Civil War, we damn near freed ourselves Now here we all are, 400-year nightmare Took us 400 years to figure out as a people That white people's weakness the whole time Was kneeling during the national anthem Aw, shit Yo, give my regards to Paris I make 'em go bananas for the noble savage Steak 'em, let 'em have it, allow me to establish The tone from a holdin' pattern above Saturn Listen, they told me I was bound to lose I had the crown to prove and fucked around and found the tools Coulda failed but I'm more compelled, I torched the trails Of an Orson Welles, rock jewels big as oyster shells To go from showman to shaman is not common What's a goon to a goblin?
