conversations.value: Write me a song called King Kunta with the following description: Kunta Kinte is the main character in the novel Roots: The Saga of an American Family by Alex Haley. Haley’s said that Kunta Kinte was his own great, great, great grandfather and the character is based on a mix of fact and fiction. Kinte refused to accept the name “Toby” that slave masters tried to give him and his right foot was cut off following his attempts to escape the plantation he was enslaved on.

  [Intro: Kendrick Lamar]
  I got a bone to pick
  I don't want you monkey-mouth motherfuckers
  Sittin' in my throne again
  Ayy, ayy, nigga, what's happenin'?
  K-Dot back in the hood, nigga!
  I'm mad (
  He mad!
  ), but I ain't stressin'
  True friends, one question
  [Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
  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: Kendrick Lamar]
  The yam is the power that be
  You can smell it when I'm walkin' down the street
  (
  Oh yes, we can, oh yes, we can
  )
  I can dig rappin', but a rapper with a ghostwriter?
  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
  )
  Something's in the water (
  Something's in the water
  )
  And if I gotta brown-nose for some gold
  Then I'd rather be a bum than a motherfuckin' baller (Oh yeah!) [Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
  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
  King 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: Kendrick Lamar]
  The yam brought it out of Richard Pryor
  Manipulated Bill Clinton with desires
  Twenty-four-seven, three-sixty-five days times two
  I was contemplatin' gettin' off stage
  Just to go back to the hood, see my enemy, and say… (Oh yeah)
  [Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
  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: Kendrick Lamar]
  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 momma and my baby boo too
  Twenty million walkin' out the court buildin', woo-woo!
  Aw, yeah, fuck the judge
  I made it past twenty-five, 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 (
  Oh yeah
  )
  [Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
  Bitch, where you when I was walkin'—*Gunshot*
  By the time you hear the next pop
  The funk shall be within you
  —*Gunshot*
  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 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: Kendrick Lamar & Whitney Alford]
  Funk, funk, funk, funk, funk, 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: Kendrick Lamar]
  I remember you was conflicted, misusing your influence
