Testo Hello, Lakisha - Kilo Kish
Testo della canzone Hello, Lakisha (Kilo Kish), tratta dall'album Reflections in Real Time
My name's Lakisha, named after my Dad
His name's Lakostia, goes by Coz (that's his name)
I go by "Kish" because it's shorter
And, to me, a lot less obvious (not the same)
At home, my momma, she calls me Kisha (Kisha)
But at the school yard, there were a million (million)
When I was young, I needed freedom
And to feel I stood out in this world (too many girls)
just stand out
When I was sixteen, I wanted money
I put Lakisha on my resumé, how funny
It was a joke, I found that nobody
Would call me back because of it (oh, shit)
Tell you the truth like when I moved to New York
Nobody knew my name, I put my head down and worked
Like two jobs at a time, learned to read between the lines
I'll say I'm Kish on my resumé this time
Meant to be named "India"
After my greatest grandmother (that's her name)
But someone had a baby first
And the name was given right to her (what a shame)
I'd probably end up a lot more conscious
I'd burn some incense, I'd pray to rocks and
It's hard to say who you would be
If you were named after somebody else
But I feel guilty stereotyping
Would have me leave it out of all and everything
Some people like to assume different
But in truth, I'm not a bit ashamed (it's my name)
When I sign my signature
It's with an "L" and never with a "K"
You call me Kilo
But Lakisha forever will be my name
