lirik lagu jak knight - code switching
(verse)
as a black kid, you gotta learn this handy trick of social self~defense
you gotta switch up your speak and give your manner a tweak depending on the audience
i’ll be will smith witty, or cool like diddy or affable as you please
cause when you’re young and black, you develop a knack for putting the world at ease
(chorus)
it’s called code~switching
and i’m a master of the dial
i’ve got a different me for every situation
no matter black, white, old or young
i can tune in to your tongue
and n0body can tell which one’s the real me, yeah
(bridge)
for those timid white suburban moms i’m humble, saccharine~sweet
just a skinny kenan thompson, ma’am, no need to cross the street
for older blacks, i’ll dial it back, play the respectful grandson role
they don’t care for rap or hip~hoppity cr~p so i’m warm as motown soul
and i can charm the old~school italian cats with a smile like sammy davis
but i always know that as soon as i go, they go straight back to stone~cold racist
(chorus)
code~switching
got the whole world on my dial
and it’s anybody’s guess which one is me
