00:00Hey, Afropunk, how y'all doing this evening?
00:11My name is Kirby, and I'm thankful to be here with you tonight.
00:16But before I start singing for y'all, I gotta talk to you, baby.
00:20Because there's three things that we don't funk with.
00:22The first thing is we don't funk with people who only say all lives matter
00:28but won't say black lives matter, baby.
00:30That's not what we're doing today in 2020.
00:33The second thing we don't funk with is a president who won't get on national TV
00:38and denounce white supremacy.
00:40Instead, he tells his proud voice to stand by, baby.
00:43We don't funk with that.
00:46And the third thing we don't funk with is what they did to our baby girl, Breonna Taylor.
00:52So we decided to dedicate our set tonight to her
00:55and that queen who will surely live on
00:58through you saying her name, through us saying her name
01:02and keeping her alive in these streets.
01:05I love y'all.
01:07I hope this set up lifts you.
01:09Again, my name is Kirby.
01:11And let's have a good time tonight.
01:13Can we do that?
01:14Hey!
01:15All right.
01:16This song I'm about to sing for y'all is called Kool-Aid.
01:19Go grab a drink, baby.
01:21And enjoy this.
01:22I'm goody good like gelato.
01:48Mean like a caddy with the roof off.
01:53He told me be quiet, baby, be cool.
01:56Babe, make me feel like sativa.
01:57I call him high school.
01:59And I'm bad, bad, and yellow bone.
02:02Tastes better when it's homemade and grown.
02:04Now, babe, my sugar's sweeter, sweeter than your Kool-Aid.
02:12I'm sweeter, I'm sweeter.
02:14And you know it, say I, babe.
02:20My sugar's sweeter.
02:22I can be a Kool-Aid.
02:24You know you can't buy this shit to call me show.
