[Karma] Man, it's hard sometimes.
When people tell you what you can't do,
or what you can't accomplish.
I even heard somebody tell me
I can't be a rapper because I'm a girl.
Like a girl can't do this?
Like I don't have heart for this?
♪ I'm tired of a girl can't do it ♪
♪ A girl's not ready ♪
♪ Or maybe a girl's too young ♪
♪ A girl, forget it! ♪
♪ Got me doubting myself
Should I stick with it? ♪
♪ Will I rise to the challenge
Or will I just quit it? ♪

-Huh?
-[Winston] Karma.
Earth to Karma!
Lemme guess.
Lost in your own personal music video?
[laughs]
Gotta warm up for the Dream Job Jam.
And today, your dream job is, uh…
-Photographer!
-Uh-uh.
-Graphic novelist?
-Nope.
-Fashion designer?
-[imitates buzzer]
-Sculptor?
Uh-uh.
Whoops. Huh. Painter!
[laughs] Amazing.
Whoa, cool!
-Are you gonna be a marine biologist?
-Mm-hm.
-Lemme guess. Astronaut?
-You know it.
-Demi Ray! What's your dream job?
-Um…
Well, it's, uh…
you know, it's silly.
I'm sure it's not.
Come on, you can tell us.
-[vocalizing]
-Huh?
[boy] Is that singing?
Yo, what is that?
♪ Sol fa mi re dooo… ♪
Oh!
Um, were you just singing,
like, opera or something, dude?
Uh, yes. Well, um, no?
[laughs] That's a good one!
Crash, the opera singer.
Bro, you're hilarious.
[mocking] ♪ So ray mi do! ♪
-[Crash groans]
-[Chris laughs]
Crash, we thought that sounded awesome.
[groans] Mind your business, Karma.
[clears throat]
Welcome, class, to our Dream Job Jam!
Whoa, say that three times fast.
[quickly] Dream Job Jam,
Dream Job Jam, Dream Job Jam! [laughs]
[clears throat]
This is your chance to tell
the whole class your dream job!
So, who wants to go first?
[excited chatter]
-Not it.
-[chuckles nervously]
Ooh! Me, me, me, me! [excited grunt]
[Mr. Singal laughs]
Go for it, Carrie.
I want to be a teacher,
just like Mr. Singal!
I want to teach kids
about the whole world!
Like… Argentina!
I love space!
[helmet squeaks]
Winston Torres, painter extraordinaire!
-[they gasp]
-Winston!
[laughs nervously] Whoops!
I wanna be a computer and information
research scientist.
Malta… Kyrgyzstan…
To invent new approaches
to computing technologies.
Columbia.
[muffled] Get this… off!
-Whoa!
-[thud]
[Winston] I'm OK.
Solve complex problems in computing
for business, medicine, and science!
-[applause]
-The end.
-[cheering]
-Whoo-hoo!
Well done, Switch.
Alright, who's left?
-Crash Watkins, you're up!
-Huh?
I want to…
[coughs]
Uh… When I grow up…
I'm going to…
Dude.
[nervous chuckle]
[sings scale, voice breaks]
[sighs] Never mind.
[audience mutters]
Awkward.
OK, Karma. [chuckles]
Why don't you give it a shot?
[to herself] I'm Karma Grant,
and I'm gonna be a rapper.
[scoffs] Girls can't be real rappers.
[gasps]
[echoing] Girls can't be real rappers…
Real rappers…
-[grunts]
-[microphone squeals]
-Uh…
-Karma?
[muffled] Are you OK?
-[Karma pants]
-[heartbeats]
[echoing] Girls can't be real rappers.
Oh. Uh…
My name is Karma and my, uh, dream is…
[audience mutters]
I'm going to be, um…
-[faltering] I have the heart of a champ--
-[bell rings]
[audience] Lunch time!
Alright, everyone! After lunch
we will get back to the Dream Job Jam.
[groans]
[groans]
[echoing] Girls can't be real rappers.
[sighs]
Crash said girls can't be real rappers.
Why would anyone think so?
Girls can be anything they want, right?
Or does he know something I don't know?
If I have something to say,
and rapping is my way,
what do I do? What can I…
Hey!
[grunts]
-Hey, Karma.
-Hey.
[sighs]
Hey.
OK, you haven't eaten your tater tots.
Something must be wrong. What's up?
[sighs] Crash told me that girls
can't be real rappers.
-What?
-Excuse me?
-Of course girls can be real rappers!
-Uh-huh.
I guess maybe they can, but…
what if I can't be?
Karma, you rap your own rhymes,
and your bars are next level.
What he said.
But the whole point of rapping is getting
up on stage and performing your music.
And I totally flubbed my presentation.
-Just like Crash said I would.
-[Winston scoffs]
Crash just psyched you out.
But one mistake doesn't mean
you're not a real rapper.
Yeah! Kids at my old school told me
computer science was just for boys,
but the truth is that
they were totally wrong,
'cause we can be whatever, whoever,
however, whenever, wherever, forever…
[exhales deeply]
Basically, girls can do anything.
What she said.
Wait, you said girls can do anything?
-Uh huh!
-That's right!
What about… be a firefighter?
Sure, why not?
Really?
Then, that's what I want to be.
So cool!
-Whoa!
-Wow!
Yeah!

Hm!
-So, do you like my rhymes, Crash?
-Uh…
Yeah. They were, um… pretty good.
I guess you were wrong about girls
not being real rappers, huh?
[sighs]
I shouldn't have ever said that.
Obviously, girls can be real rappers.
Sorry, Karma.
You know, Crash,
boys can be real opera singers, too.
I… I don't know about that.
I heard you singing earlier,
and it was really good.
You already are a real opera singer.
You think so?
But I already messed up my presentation.
Yeah, I did, too.
