LYRICS
This is a day in the life of an... overachiever.
[D-One]
Wake up, wake up it's 6 AM on Monday morning, man
Glasses or contacts? I don't know 'cuz I'm still snoring
Momma got that congee porridge so I'm crawlin cross the floor and
Stayed up late, finishin an essay on that global warming
Now I get dropped off to that orchestra, orchestra
Then it's calculus, I cosine all the formulas
This cheerleader, Jen Park has a seat right next to me
She always sucks up on a pen cap, sexually (ehhhh)
See, I always wanna talk to her
But my kneeslock up when I walk to her
I know I need to speak up and not defer
But all the athletes in school be jockin' her
Anyways, on to Debate
Where we learn to cook eggs, put em onto your face
But Lincoln-Douglas leaves you loveless
and I'm a smart good boy, where's the justice?
Then I hit the tennis court in my tennis shorts
And I can't help but feel like a helpless dork
But I guess it's just a minor setback -
wait, still got Kaplan prep class.
Dang... I swear, I never have time for aaanything
Golly.
[Chorus]
Overachievers, we're just like you, just like you
Overachieve, play violin, piano, flute
Overachievers, we're just like you, just like you
Overachieve, cuz we got somethin to prove
[Grand Master Chu]
Ayo, it's time to roll
6 in the morning and I got to go, man
Hit the special bus for the gifted program (Hey, Brad!)
In my homeroom and I'm tryna sleep
Cuz I was up til 3 doin' Java programs
AP, IB, college prep
I never took a class where I wasn't the best
So I made sure to stay up outta gym, see
Showers with dudes ain't really for me
I'm on fire, no seriously, I'm in chem lab,
a gas leak mysteriously
set ablaze my calculator and my school khakis
Now it's lunch and I'm really that dude
Forget the cafeteria, I'm in a classroom
With the mock trial quiz bowl action
Math league, science olympiad practice
And the fun don't stop at the bell
I stay after school, to kick some tail
With Ms. Gupta and the team
Model Minority, fresh so clean
[Inglish]
Used to go summer school for the hell of it
Have you ever been?
Sitting there studying the elements
Periodic tables, learning about elephants (can't jump)
Have you ever been?
Wondering what alcohol might taste like?
Or getting high cuz I was afraid of heights
Live a life, full of rice told we were very bright
College was a no brainer, got the invite
Better luck tomorrow bitches!
remember what I goot for christmas
Got a textbook, wundt the best look
But between that and S A T prep work
A for effort, insert the excerpt
revise for best words, refer to Webster
At first all I knew was parenthetical
Then I thought I would study some medical
This video makes me feel bad, I'm a horrible Asian haha.
