2nd year Sophomore
Turning 16
3 years left
On this stupid calendar for me
Happy Birthday to little me
Who's gonna die at seventeen
Gonna die at seventeen

Wanna become a doctor
Stable and well-off and
Kill the artist in me
Let mama baba praise me
Perfect Straight A Asian child
Raise a family
Kill the man inside of me
Inside of me

I’ll grow up a father
Who doesn’t hit his kids
I’ll grow up a mother
Who never gets sick
I’ll grow up a lover
To the parent of my kids
I’ll grow up to be someone
Not like this

When did this world get so fucked up
Crushing feelings with potential
Working hard isn’t special
It's hard not to hate everyone
But what can I say
It's really just a phase

Turning 16

Till I finally get to leave
Happy Birthday to little me
Who's gonna die at seventeen
Gonna die at seventeen
