Lyrics

(Office dialogue)
You have an awesome day! Yeah, yeah
Hey, how's it going!? I'm Kay!
I gotta put this mask on a couple hours a day
Professionally networking with people that can't relate
The higher I climb, The less that I see my face, and the
Higher I climb, the more I'm subconsciously adopting
Eurocentric ways every time my income's raised
I be questioning whether or not I belong in this place?
Be questioning whether or not I'm repping for my race...Damn
Am I committing forgery?
When I'm blending in with my coworkers at these public outings
It feels like I'm rushing a sorority
Just a little black sheep trying to get his money
I've been wondering,
Is my culture supporting me?
Or do they think I shuck and jive with the majority?
I'm just trying to save face so I could get out this rat race.
So for now, gotta be the model minority
My employers upstanding model minority
Conforming to the work culture blend in and model minority
Subconsciously switch my own dialect and be a model minority
From 9 to 5 slaving making your money
And how come I'm the only one I know there's more of me
Or did you solve that quota, so it's not priority?
I hear the microaggression, passive aggressive statements
But if I respond, then my conduct is disorderly
And I know that your best employee ain't outperforming me
But you'll promote em', even though I got seniority
But I'm desperate for this job, I'm drowning in my expenses
So I'm shut the fuck up and listen
And be a model minority.
My employers, upstanding model minority
From 9 to 5 slaving making your money,
Ay yi yi
Quiet down they don't wanna hear your truth
They made you love they wealth and hate your roots, It's the tru…
Cause even if you in a Benz, You're still a **** in a coupe
They gon keep inflating and keep on bending the rules.
So you tell me what you're gonna do?
Are you gonna be a model minority?
Be your employers upstanding model minority.
Conforming to the work culture, blend in and be a model minority.
Subconsciously tuck your tongue when you talk and be a model minority
From 9 to 5 slaving making your money
Ay yi yi
