[chorus]

i climbed up from the bottom to the top
but i still gotta prove that i’m awesome to my mom
cause i live with
all these asian expectations
gotta live with all these asian expectations
ooh yeah

[verse 1: lex the lexicon artist]

yeah my mom’s amazing
you might’ve guessed but my mom is asian
i only see her when i’m on vacation
or when she gets to take a break on occasion

she’s a children’s doctor working all day
it’s not a lot of money but we do okay
despite being tired, she greets patients with
smile on her face
saying how are you today
yeah

always worried that i might ashame her
cause i chose to be a psych major
she wants me to go back to school
cause she says i’m book smart like hermione granger

but now i’m tryna be a rap star
and i don’t know if she would let me take it that far
do i play my part or entertain the crowd
because i wanna chase my dream but i wanna make her proud

[chorus]

i climbed up from the bottom to the top
but i still gotta prove that i’m awesome to my mom
cause i live with
all these asian expectations
gotta live with all these asian expectations
ooh yeah

[verse 2: shubzilla]

the og fly pinay
mom to me be like do or die
three times a hustle to keep us afloat
hardest woman in the game and she ain’t gotta gloat, uh

her ambition p-ssed on to me
hot-headed boss raising me to be a queen
and the world wasn’t ready but she did it anyway
momzilla raining fire every hour every day

she expects a lot more from me
pride success and happiness
the best hype woman there could ever be
if she gotta fix sh-t better write a eulogy

cause somebody’s gonna get dropped if they don’t stop
messing with their kin so they better close shop
from 1983
we been a dope team and we livin’ the dream

[chorus]

i climbed up from the bottom to the top
but i still gotta prove that i’m awesome to my mom
cause i live with
all these asian expectations
gotta live with all these asian expectations
ooh yeah

[verse 3: lex the lexicon artist]

i don’t get to see you very often anymore
and pretty soon i’ll no longer be twenty four
you’ll prolly never see me live, you’re so far away
but at least i can write you songs for mothers day

it’s been six years, still kinda new here
can i come home just for chinese new year
i know you’re gonna tell me to apply for law school
but i promise that my songs got a lot more thoughtful

you always told me i should be more gentle
more femininely temperamental
but when i tell you that i miss taipei
you always say to not be so sentimental

i wanna be a great artist and a good daughter
when i’m famous maybe i could be a book author
庭安, she remembers what you taught her
sending love to my mother and father, i’ll bring them both honor

[outro]
all these asian expectations…
