lyrics

[Verse 1]
Soybeans and radish
20 plates so lavish
Got pickled vegetables of every kind
We’re looking so outlandish
That rice bowl my canvas
That rice bowl my canvas
The way I like my food fermented
Might make you think I’m savage
We’ll rat-a-tat-a-tat up in your garden
stacking, stacking up on cloves of garlic
Napa napa napa kimchi (SHEESH)
napping, napping after bubble (TEA)
Pan-fry our anchovies
Riding ‘round in that HOV
Let our produce age slowly
Y’all just mad I stay cozy with

[Chorus]
Mung beans and tofu
Mama’s whippin’ up that soul food
Mung beans and tofu
Mama’s whippin’ up that soul food
Mung beans and tofu
Mama’s whippin’ up that soul food
She can’t stop and won’t stop
‘Til she hears ‘I’m so full”

너는 너는 밥은 먹었냐? (did you eat yet?)
어서 어서 밥을 먹어라! (go and eat now)
너는 너는 밥은 먹었냐? (did you eat yet?)
어서 어서 밥을 먹어라! (go and eat now)

[Verse 2]
Back then you wouldn’t believe it
They celebrated with a pound of meat
Though doesn't really alot to me
It was plenty for ten mouths to eat. It was a feast
Rice and beans. Bunch of greens
Sprinkle the seeds. Dripping the oil. Sesame
The white rice that I took for granted was a luxury
yea for real was a fortune
Tryna get a meal was a fortune
Not a porsche. Only wanted bigger portions
That’s something I don’t understand
living in comfort with my own demands
(Oh boy) that’s real life
And to be honest I dunno what that feel like
so imma incline my ear buds to hear what they say
In every single bite I take. With these..

about

Uzuhan Atlanta, Georgia

When Uzuhan (formerly J. Han) steps into the ordinaries of life, he comes out with a voice that’s distinctly unique from everyone else’s.

The Uzuhan series marks a new phase of artistry for the rapper. It celebrates the artist’s identity as a Korean-American while creating a genre that mixes hip-hop, jazz, and R&B-inspired melodies—beats intended for some serious dancing and grooving. ... more
