[Bit 1]
Okay, so parents love giving their kids cute names
like Pookie, Peanut, shit like that, right?
You know what my mama called me growing up?
Deep throat.
I'm telling you, yeah, it's 'cause I used to eat
and drink food really fucking fast.
I'd be, my mom's like, "Goddamn, boy, you got a deep throat."
And that's the name, that's where the name stuck.
[Bit 2]
But ladies and gentlemen, we give words power,
we give words connotation, you know what I'm saying?
In London, spotted dick is a dish.
In America, spotted dick is a problem.
[Bit 3]
I did not know the sexual implications behind the name
until I got into high school.
My homeboy put me aside and said,
"Hey man, you know Rachel?"
I said, "Yeah, I know Rachel."
He said, "Bro, she got a deep throat."
I said, "Shit, me too."
Yeah, yeah, my daddy said I got a real deep throat.
He said, "Yo, daddy."
I'm like, "Well, it's my mama who started it, but."
Hey, are we playing basketball or not?
