Hello, Lakisha
My name's Lakisha
我的名字叫拉基莎(Lakisha)
Named after my Dad
這名字是以我爸爸的名字命名的
His names Lakostia
他的名字叫拉科斯蒂亞(Lakostia)
Goes by Coz
他名字中間的拼寫是kos
I go by Kish
而我名字中間的拼寫是kish
Because it's shorter
因為這樣我的名字就更短更順口啦
And to me
而且對我來說
A lot less obvious
這也不是很平淡無奇很無創意的那種名字
在家裡的時候
At home my momma
我媽媽都叫我Kisha
She calls me Kisha
但是啊在學校的話
But at the school yard
叫做Kisha的人可多了
There were a million
我年輕不懂事的時候
When I was yound
我就想自由點
I needed freedom
就想要感覺到
And to feel
我能在人群中脫穎而出
I stood out in the world
(畢竟叫做Kisha女孩那麼多)
(Too Many Girls)
我就想,脫穎,而出
當我16歲的時候
Just. Stand. Out.
我想去賺錢啦
When I was sixteen
我寫在簡歷上的名字就是拉基莎(Lakisha)
I wanted money
多搞笑呀
I put Lakisha on my resume
這就是個笑話
How funny
(因為)我發現並沒有人
It was a joke
給我回電話(同意讓我去他們那里工作)
I found that no one
這都是因為我的名字吧
Would call me back
(哎糟糕透了)
Because of it
我來告訴你事實吧
(Oh ****)
比如說我搬去紐約住的時候
並沒有人知道我叫什麼名字
I'll tell you the truth
我埋頭苦幹,成天工作
Like when I moved to New York
比如一次打兩份工
Nobody knew my name
漸漸學會了察言觀色,懂得了字裡行間的意思
I put my head down and worked
這次,我會在簡歷上寫,我的名字是基什(Kish)!
Like 2 jobs at a time
我本來會被起名叫作India(意為印度)的
Learned to read between the lines
就跟我的曾祖母一樣
I'll say im Kish on my resume this time!
(她的名字就叫作India)
但有人先生了寶寶
I was meant to be named India
所以這個名字就直接給那個寶寶用了
After my greatest grandmother
(好遺憾哦)
(That's her name)
如果我取名叫India了,我可能會
But someone had a baby first
更加刻意地活著
And the name was given right toher
我可能會去燒香
(What a shame)
我可能會去拜佛
I'd probably end up
很難說
A lot more conscious
若你的名字是以另一個人的名字命名的,你會成為什麼樣的人
I'd burn some incense
但對我來說,我感覺有些內疚
I'd pray to rocks and
感覺像一種刻板印象將我定型
會讓我覺得這個名字有些另類
It's hard to say who you would be
有人會認為我會不同
If you were named after somebody else
但事實上,我並不感到羞愧
But I feel guilty
(這就是我的名字啊)
Stereotyping
當我簽名的時候
Would have me leave it out of all and everything
簽下的名字裡就是有“l”這個字母
Some people like to assume different
但從不會出現“k”這個字母
But in truth im not a bit ashamed
你可以叫我基洛(Kilo)
(It's my name)
但是拉基莎(Lakisha)
永遠都是我的名字
When I sign my signature
It's with an 'I'
And never with a 'K'
You call me Kilo
But Lakisha
Forever will be my name
