Even now as a teen
All my life has been
An accumulation of setbacks
I've never followed the right tracks
I really hope that my sisters
Are gonna be brighter
Cause it's so tough
To be lost in the rough
And if you wanna escape
You don't really need a magic cape
But just a strong will
Even if it makes you ill
To have to work so much for
Just a piece of paper
Damn why is everything going so wrong
And why do I keep writing a song
Each time it happens
Instead of studying to finally have my Mercedes-Benz
I mean nothing is impossible
And I know that I'm able
To pass this exam
And finally return to Vietnam.
All I need to do is to get that freakin' exam
Why don't I give a damn
I don't even know what school I want to go to
Even if I knew it could be for a job I may not like to do
Things never change
Cause what I really want is never in my range
I had to let go of my dream of basketball stardom
And now I'd like at least my freedom
But you see
I still need this freakin' degree
I pray to God that my life
Will be as beautiful as my future wife
But I realize
That maybe to His eyes
I must act by myself to
Make a living as we all have to.
