HARVARD PLEASE LET ME IN by Ethan Kim Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woah, I'm doing something that's never been seen
Hold up, you probly don't even know me
But I applied early, my app' kinda quirky
And this the last chance for an impression of me
See, I'm smart but not the smartest ever
But put me in the class and I'll be putting in the effort
You don't know me right now, 'bout'a know my name
Never got a rap deal, this about to change
Teacher said its risky, and they calling it insane
Thought outside the box, I'll be switching up the game
'Cause my life is a highway, I'm doing this my way
An extrovert's here and I've never felt shame
[Chorus]
Who am I you ask? (Ask) My names Ethan Kim (Okay)
Did I just make a rap? (Rap) Yes, please let me in (Okay)
Harvard never seen this, ayy
Got no chance like The Big Day
Unless I do things this way, okay, ayy
Harvard, admit me, you know you want to
Just you wait and see how much I can do
[Verse 2]
Ain't your typical candidate
But I got a move and I'm planning it
Heard, bein' different is what you need
Talking 'bout different and I promise I'm unique
Listen: I'm an Asian from the south, oh, you ain't never heard of me
I be taking Taekwondo lessons and drinking sweet tea (It's sweet)
Middle class America and I ain't got the bands (Cash)
Good test scores and he's funny; who this mans? (SAT)
Yellow Mamba got all the jokes to offer
He a class clown, oh, that boy ain't a doctor
[Chorus]
Who am I you ask? (Ask) My names Ethan Kim (Okay)
Did I just make a rap? (Rap) Yes, please let me in (Okay)
Harvard never seen this, ayy
Got no chance like The Big Day
Unless I do things this way, okay, ayy
Harvard, admit me, you know you want to
Just you wait and see how much I can do
[Interlude]
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
Hold up, I got deferred, but not rejected, though
Ha
[Verse 3]
For my supplemental I wrote on an instrumental
And I'm turning up the level getting trophies and some medals
Do it my way like a rebel see for less I never settle
Put the pedal to the metal but I keep the fundamentals
I'm not perfect at first glance, but just givin' me a chance
You will see that I'm the man, wrote an essay 'bout my pants
Always been different always taking weird ways (Ayy)
Honestly my testing skills ain't my forte (Ayy)
I can prove myself just give me more days (Ayy)
Ready for the weather already got a North Face (Oh)
Music video, it ain't the violin
Look at that boy Ethan he is wildin'
Honestly I think that I have shot (Okay)
Asked to be different and this what I got (Ah)
I am unique, I'm a Kurvy Korean
North Carolina and that's where I be In
If it don't work I was proud to me (Yessir)
Project myself with the best I can be
Getting rejected I will never pout
But this is me here and you gonna miss out (Ah)
Woah, I'm doing something that's never been seen
Hold up, you probly don't even know me
But I applied early, my app' kinda quirky
And this the last chance for an impression of me
See, I'm smart but not the smartest ever
But put me in the class and I'll be putting in the effort
You don't know me right now, 'bout'a know my name

'Cause my life is a highway, I'm doing this my way
