Sundae Drive (Interlude) [feat. Brandon Isa]
Aye, yo, yo, yo! You're tuned into K-A-P-I radio
We've got Kyori The Okapi in the studio
Aye, how you doing little brother?
Yeah, what up
Hiroshima and Torrance represent
Yeah man, we're glad to have you on the show with us
So the first thing I wanted to ask you is:
What does your name mean?
Like what does Kyori The Okapi represent?
Yeah, so an Okapi is an animal from the Congo and is the only living relative of the Giraffe
It's my favorite animal because they're just so unique and hard to find
It's kind of like how it's hard to find Asian Americans in media
Some people know they exist but don't know anything about them really
Aight, damn straight
That makes all us Asian siblings okapi too huh?
Hell yeah it does, my brother.
Ok, I feel you
So what does Kyori mean then?
Like what is the literal meaning of Kyori?
Yeah, so 距離 in Japanese loosely translates to "distance"
And being a Japanese American a part of the Japanese diaspora
I'm a bit far from my motherland and my culture so
I need to close that gap that I got
And plus Kyori is an acronym for "Keep Your Oppressor Removed Internally"
So get them suckers out of your mind and out of your heart
Damn, that's what's up!
You're dropping some knowledge on us right here!
But yo listen:
We've got this funky beat
Why don't you drop a little something something for us right now?
Ah, man
I can't freestyle for shit
Aight, well how about this:
Instead of going off the dome
Maybe break out something you've been working on?
Aight, aight
I'll do something real quick then...
Not the first to rep my people, but I'm UNIQLO
Damned eternally, is what the speaker told
I be gold, 金色
Keen and bold, and cold
Sold no records in the stores, so I got no money folds (Uh)
I swing both ways, so go get me a caddy
The smooth fucker flirting with ya mama and your daddy
Or your sister or your brother, but not significant other
Man, my mind's going everywhere like Scatman Crothers
Knowing everybody wanna be a cat
But everybody gotta keep a gat
Or shake they back fat
This ain't no egg foo-,
Young brothers get it cracking
I'm never slacking on my beats, they always be slapping (Plaht-)
And y'all still are astounded how I speak?
When I think of new multi-syllables every week?
So screw that sweet talk and "City Wok" tone
I spit like I took AP Lang, when on the microphone
And when I'm flowing in the booth, they going "dang"
The okapi with a bite, he spit with fangs
And the only dude bumping 88 along with Kool and the Gang
Just a baller without a ring like Yao Ming
And fuck it, I might never get a chain doing this
'Cause if I get on a stage, they're going "who is this?"
I'm tryna dream perfect, straight off the dome
Turn a fantasy into reality, and make it home
God damn!
