I can calculate the area of a polyhedra
On a feng he re li day
I can tell you all the structural adaptions
Of a flower in a canopy, I'm primary 3
I got choir, Chinese cultural dance
And the NPCC, GG, CC, KNCCP
(That's a uniform group)
On Tuesdays I got
Chemistry tuition, Chinese model composition
Then cross-country running for the interschool-competition
Re-re-re-re-re-re-repetition makes a fella fit
Gotta commit, otherwise daddy's gonna lose his
Ehem
You're doing so well, kiddo
Just think of your life as a ballad
And by ballot I mean the balloting
We had to do to get you into this school
We moved right next to the school (School, school, school)
1km priority (Yeah, woo!)
Now we're broke and live in poverty (Skrrt)
In this crippling economy
Ha-ha!
Grow, dandelion, grow
Grow the best you know
Through the concrete and the cracks
Grow, dandelion, grow
JC, JC, y'all
(Oh)
So many fish in the sea
JC, JC, y'all
Hey where ya from?
Uh, I'm from Hua Wei JC
(JC, JC, y'all)
No way, me too
That's hot
Do you know what else is hot?
Five points, O levels
Damn!
Only one A2
Keep on talking, boo
Didn't need no through train, man I slain
Slide right in without DSA
Opted in for 4H2's, and I still got time for 4 CCA's
Man, I've never been kissed
I'd rather make that Dean's list
Ivy League is next and I'll come back with an accent
Man, you're killing it
Thank you's
Whoa, is that an American accent?
Yas!
I messed around at Brown (Brown)
Only three breakdowns (Breakdowns)
Forfeited my scholarship and now I'm back in town (Town)
I got a job that's just waiting for me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Private legal firm and a 4k salary
So, what about you?
Yeah, funny story, I'm actually still in Poly
Hello?
Hello?
Grow, dandelion, grow
Grow the best you know
Through the concrete and the cracks
Grow dandelion grow
She's a supermodel
Supermodel citizen
Queen of the first world
And she pays her taxes
Any other relevant working experience that you can tell me?
I worked for Google, two years in Silicon Valley
That may be well and true
But applicant, one hundred and two
Why should we hire you?
I graduated summa cum laude
No recorded health disorder
(Yeah, oh!)
My startup pilates company
Made the green in the first quarter (Quarter)
I tell my son it's not about the end it's about the journey
But at age 29 I made Forbes 30 under 30
(She's a supermodel)
I always tithe in the mass
(Supermodel citizen)
Never forget my singpass
I fight for freedom of speech, within reason (What?)
Working on renting out my second condominium
(She's a supermodel)
My cash flow is straight fire (Fire)
(Supermodel citizen)
Can't legally retire
(But miss it says you have a history of high blood pressure)
Aiyah, I queue for bubble tea and A&W for leisure!
(She's a supermodel)
Through the concrete and the cracks
(Super model citizen)
(Queen of the first world)
Grow, dandelion, grow
(And she pays her taxes)
And you can be like me too
Just think of your life as a ballad
You're doing so well, kiddo
Just think of your life as a ballad
Estelle?
Estelle, are you with me?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, I'm with you
Uh, I'm sorry, is that a potted plant?
Yes, well, it's a fake potted plant, it's plastic
Can I have it?
Sure, Estelle
Same time next week?
Yes, doctor
Grow, dandelion, grow
Grow the best you know
Through the concrete and the cracks
Grow, dandelion, grow
Grow, dandelion, grow
Though it hurts I know
Through the highs and the lows
Grow, dandelion, grow
