[Bit 1]

My name is Kenith.

It's a very simple name,

but people always mess it up for some reason.

Like I got a job at this Mediterranean restaurant,

and the lady, she's like,

"Hey, Kanoo, can you come help me with the trash?"

I'm like, bitch, I am not a water raft.

Like, the fuck?

Like 10 minutes later, she's like, hey, kayak,

can you come help me out on the grill?

I'm like, bitch, I am not a boat, okay?

I understand if our conversations are making you wet,

but I am not, okay?

[Bit 2]

I'm half white, and sometimes that works out in my favor,

but not like you think it does.

It's not like I get pulled over by the police,

and I just pull out a picture of me and my mom,

at the Grand Canyon like, "Am I free to go, sir?"

They're like, "Nah, we're gonna have to have you

step outside the car.

We're gonna see who this white woman is.

She might be missing."
