Engineer Video (MV)

My mom didn't want me to be
The person I had wanted
She wanted an engineer
Or doctor, that I'm not

Started with my mother, who said I was another
Boy who's ordinary and meant to follow the other
Kids in neighborhood and family cuz
"You are not a dreamer, you can scheme a
Plan to be a carbon copy of the
Oh-so-perfect Shivashankaran's father's second cousin
On his mother's side whose illegitimate child with
Someone not from their caste who was top of his class had
Graduated out of IIT and is an engineer"
FUCK THAT!
Who the f*ck is Shivashankaran? Why is he here?
The things you tell me Ma fill me with nausea
Why am I being compared is not clear
Got my license in life I learned how to steer; Won't crash
Reason why I said all this is not to in anyway try to hurt her
Some things that were said got my creativity murdered
Wanna go to sleep every night without my dream getting smothered

My mom didn't want me to be
The person I had wanted
She wanted an engineer
Or doctor, that I'm not

Stuck to my guns
Despite my mother telling me I suck and my ans-wer
To her was nothing really, f*ck a response!
Gonna show I make my own luck and a chance
Marshall Mathers taught me opportunity comes
Once in a lifetime I gotta grab with two hands
Every negativity I ducked and I danced
My way around it, yeah you wanted, me to have a
Life where I pretended I was someone else?
Nah Dad! Ain't gonna take banking exams!
I ain't studying 10 months in advance
I have a target I wanna get some fans
My bad things aren't going as per your plans
You want me steadily earning a salary
For you to finally look at me and then be all proud of me
And have me settled down at 25 and start a family
This would never be happening, music is a part of me!

My mom didn't want me to be
The person I had wanted
She wanted an engineer
Or doctor, that I'm not

My mom didn't want me to be
The person I had wanted
She wanted an engineer
Or doctor, that I'm not
