[Bit 1]

I do love my name, except when I tell people my name.

I say, hey, my name's Carlton.

They're like, you're not black.

I say to people, my name's Carlton.

They're like, oh, can you do the dance?

No, sorry, I can't really.

[Bit 2]

Love my birthday.

You still love my birthday.

January 28.

My seventh birthday when teacher touched me

made me very sad.

1986.

Teacher like took off 30 seconds in,

turned into fireworks,

made me cry along with all my other people in the class

because you know when you can't do,

when you can do, you do.

When you can't do, you teach or try to be an astronaut.
