[Intro]
Steel on the table, heat in the air
You came for a plate, but the warning is there
[Verse 1]
Yum yum, soy sauce, black on the rice
Benihana teriyaki, sweet with a bite
Chop-chop rhythm, blade on the board
Every little flavor gets turned into war
Hiroshima, Nagasaki—names carved deep
History wakes while the whole room sleeps
Not a punchline, not a prop for the stage
Ash in the memory, grief on the page
[Pre-Chorus]
Taste the smoke, feel the weight
Some scars don’t evaporate
[Chorus]
Yum yum, soy sauce, fire in the pan
Benihana teriyaki, do you understand?
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, remember the cost
No glamor in the ruin, no lives get lost
[Verse 2]
Rap through the verse with a mouth full of flame
Every cheap thrill can’t erase a name
Rice bowl spinning while the bass caves in
Laughing at the dinner till the truth cuts in
Neon signs? No—just steam and steel
Concrete facts and the things we feel
From the kitchen smoke to the history book
Don’t turn suffering into a crooked hook
[Breakdown]
Bow your head
Count the dead
No spectacle
No disrespect
[Bridge]
Sweet glaze, bitter truth
What we inherit shapes our youth
If the past is buried, it rises again
So speak with care when you sharpen the pen
[Final Chorus]
Yum yum, soy sauce, fire in the pan
Benihana teriyaki, do you understand?
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, remember the cost
No glamor in the ruin, no lives get lost
[Outro]
Heat dies down
The room goes still
A plate gets cold
Memory will
