Annotation — Rap / Hip Hop Songs

Hardcore Hip Hop artist, born Aaron Dontez Yates on 8 November 1971 in Kansas City, Missouri, USA, releasing a string of low-selling albums. He referenced Vietnam on several tracks throughout his career: "Questions (Rough Draft)" (1999), "Who You Came to See" (2001), "Breath" (2001), and "No See Umz" (2021).The song "No See Umz" (Strange Music Incorporated # SMI-6051) continued the trend of using Vietnam as a metaphor for community violence in the US: "saying to myself, when I see him I'ma heat 'em because I can't stand bitching, Vietnam ambition".

Lyrics

English: With the clam man, listen, get the fam-bam tripping / You become what a Muslim think of a ham sandwich in a Imam lamb kitchen / Saying to myself, when I see him I'ma heat 'em because I can't stand bitching / Vietnam ambition / Layin' to his health I'ma bleed him if I meet him, and from the land transition / Talk a lot online, never meet up with us, cleaver this fuck / But you won't show 'cause you're the beaver, you're bust / Feed you the dust / Go grieve 'em as I walk with more freedom / But it would be magical to grab the foe / I had to show but no see umz (Where y'all at?
