[Bit 1]
I'm dating-- I had one on a date with a white woman.
It's important that I say that part for the story.
And as I was getting to know her,
she was telling me how she was into gender pronouns
and how she identified as a they/them,
which is a crazy sentence to hear.
But I'm a super chill guy.
I didn't overreact.
I'm like, if this how you choose to live your life,
I'll call you what you want to be called.
But I did let her--
I did let them know, before we go out,
I can only afford to pay for me and you.
And if that's gonna be a problem, we shouldn't do this,
'cause they could come, just make sure they bring money,
for real, 'cause if they order anything off of this menu,
they gonna pay for the shit, gratuity and all.
They're gonna be stuck with the bill for seven fucking people,
'cause you don't know who you wanna be in life.
That's not my responsibility, and I refuse to deal with it.
The part that pissed me off the most
was they got up when it was time to order,
so now I look like a dumbass at the table,
'cause the waiter take the order, he like,
"Sir, what would you like?"
"Put my order in with confidence."
Then he was like, "What about your guests?"
I'm like, "I don't know what they want."
He said, "They? You expecting more people?"
I was like, "No, it's just one of them."
He said, "One of them?"
I said, "Yes, nigga, one of them."
I don't know what the fuck I just said.
I'm confused, too.
I thought you helped me figure this shit out, for real.
'Cause at this point, it's us versus them,
and we're losing.
