Kali Standards
Georgia-based rising rapper Kali is officially back with her new single, “Standards,” which arrives a few days before the launch of her forthcoming project, Toxic Chocolate.
After beginning her rise to the top of the rap game with viral songs including “MMM MMM” and “Do A B*tch,” Kali is back with her new single, “Standards.” Discussing her relationship with a Pisces man that refused to take accountability for his actions, the rapper gives proof to the chatter that she’s the “female Future” in hip-hop, continuing to make the world react to her toxic ways over an R&B drill beat.
On the new song, Kali told Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, “It really just means for me, females take your power back. It’s me taking my power. I got standards and if you can’t meet them then you cannot mess with me. That was the mindset I was in. I was going through it with someone. I went in the stu and said ‘just press record.’ Off the top, raw emotion… I got standards and you need to meet them… period.”
Deciding to release the song on International Women’s Day, Kali added, “For me, it took me a minute to build confidence to just be doing what I’m doing. For me, being a woman is just being confident, being creative, and showing who you are as a person through everything you do. We hold this together.”
Kali – Standards

[Chorus]
I ain’t doin’ that back and forth shit (Nah)
Do I look like a back and forth bitch? (Nah)
I ain’t got time for all that arguing when I’m tryna get rich (Yeah, yeah)
Niggas ain’t meetin’ the standard (Nah)
Boss shit, that’s the standard (On God)
Keep on playin’ ’bout my respect and I won’t have no manners (Fuck nigga)

But this nigga don’t take accountability for shit
And I should have knew that ’cause he said he was a Pisces
Fuck
[Verse 2]
It be lie after lie (It be lie after lie)
It’s like that nigga ain’t even tryin’ (That nigga ain’t even tryin’)
Steady cappin’ ’bout his last bitch (Cap-ass nigga)
But she told y’all business all up in them captions (Green-ass nigga)
I’ma do me, it’s cool (Cool)
I ain’t claiming that nigga, huh, he go with who? (He go with who?)
Stop tellin’ your homeboys that, that shit ain’t true (That shit ain’t true)
Be glad I kept my cool (Yeah)
Understand it, but I ain’t no fool (Nah)
Play me, you just gon’ lose (Lose it)
[Chorus]
I ain’t doin’ that back and forth shit (Nah)
Do I look like a back and forth bitch? (Nah)
I ain’t got time for all that arguing when I’m tryna get rich (Yeah, yeah)
Niggas ain’t meetin’ the standard (Nah)
Boss shit, that’s the standard (On God)
Keep on playin’ ’bout my respect and I won’t have no manners (Fuck nigga)
I ain’t doin’ that back and forth shit (Nah)
Do I look like a back and forth bitch? (Nah)
I ain’t got time for all that arguing when I’m tryna get rich (Yeah, yeah)
