[English]

My fellow Americans, it's me,

Dave Chappelle, live at the YS Firehouse in Yellow Springs, Ohio.

But I didn't come to talk to you about that.

Now a lot of people don't know, but in fact,

I grew up in our nation's capital, Washington D.C.

And and I did a special there one time, and I called the special Equanimity.

Which literally means

steadiness of mind

under duress.

No matter what kind of pressure anyone puts on you.

Just keep your cool.

My good brothers,

don't let the celebrator break you down.

And all you sexy ladies, remember, don't let them hate you cause you're beautiful.

One foot in front of the other and keep those pretty motherfucking heads up.

I guess that's all I wanted to say, but

one more thing.

Tay Keith!

Fuck these niggas up!

I'ma come get you on Saturday (Saturday)

I'ma pick you up on Saturday (Saturday)

Maybe you could give me some what's-her-name

Ay, hey, hey (Tay Keith, fuck these niggas up)

Sexy lady (get your hands up, hey)

Give me your number (I want everybody to get y'all hands up in the air)

You tryna roll with a nigga, roll with a nigga

Sexy lady (get your hands up, hey)

Give me your number (I want everybody to get y'all hands up in the air)

You tryna roll with a nigga, roll with a nigga

To my bad bitches, they could never make me hate ya

They salty fast when you shakin' ass like a shaker

We make 'em sick, but we really is the echinacea

Ay, you the shit, girl, don't let nobody try and change ya

Love when real bitches win, it do somethin' to me

I be like, "Twin, how you been?" You a sister to me

All pink when we link like the Barbie movie

'Cept you know we ghetto, so we prolly be on Tubi

'Bout time

Where my favorite bitches from the south side?

Passin' out tequila, doin' high fives

It's okay to block 'em when you're outside

Where's my lil'

Sexy lady (get your hands up, hey)

Give me your number (I want everybody to get y'all hands up in the air)

You tryna roll with a nigga, roll with a nigga

Sexy lady (uh-huh, uh-huh, get your hands up, hey)

Give me your number (uh-huh, uh-huh, I want everybody to get y'all hands up in the air)

Yeah, if you sexy and you know it, baby, go ahead and show it, baby (you tryna roll with a nigga, roll with a nigga)

Cliqued up, you can call me when you alone or

When you goin' through the bullshit, I'ma hold you

Girls' night, put your hair up in some rollers

Tea time, talkin' shit, girl, what he told you?

Slide, put that mess aside, I know he gon' spin that

Why would I ever cry, baby? Bitch, I been there

My Venus in Gemini, queen of the unbothered

Oh, how I sleep at night in my satin Gaultier

'Bout time

Where my favorite bitches from the south side?

Passin' out tequila, doin' high fives

It's okay to block 'em when you're outside

Where's my lil'

Sexy lady (get your hands up, hey)

Give me your number (I want everybody to get y'all hands up in the air)

You tryna roll with a nigga, roll with a nigga

Sexy lady (uh-huh, uh-huh, get your hands up, hey)

Give me your number (uh-huh, uh-huh, I want everybody to get y'all hands up in the air)

Yeah, if you sexy and you know it, baby, go ahead and show it, baby (you tryna roll with a nigga, roll with a nigga)

Uh, this for all my girls

Big girls, slim girls

BBLs, naturals

We gon' slide (sexy lady)

Put that mess aside (get your hands up, hey)

Make him spend that (give me your number)

We gon' slide (I want everybody to get y'all hands up in the air)

Put that mess aside (you tryna roll with a nigga, roll with a nigga)

Make him spend that

We gon' slide (sexy lady)

Put that mess aside (get your hands up, hey)

Make him spend that (give me your number)
