Lyrics:
BEN
tuesday night no CCA class
faster go home take out my mask
mother say no more game with pengyou
but my laobu is easy to bluffs
im a pro-gamer, heck care my tasks
i’m a tik tok star, i still play among us
eh? thought my laobu zuo kang
but her ⻔没有关, that’s kinda sus
hide in, bed and, 假假 sleep
then Mother, open, door a bit
“mummy, zuo-mo?” acting, commit!
but my phone screen still lit, stupid (GG)
ANNETTE
“come boy give me your hand
tell you nicely, still don’t Understand”
BEN
i am a man
come ah, scared what scared,
pain is my middle name
ANNETTE
“your middle name Jun Kiat”
CHORUS
Da Shi Teng Da Shi Teng, Ma shi ai
Da Shi Teng Da Shi Teng, Ma shi ai
Dat shit hurt dat shit hurt, but I’m fine
I don’t cry, that’s just dust in my eye
ANNETTE
Results day, I’m so happy
I’m a 90 percentile in my whole JC
Hi pa look what I achieve
A, A, A, A, A - B (show B+ grade on slip)
Pa where you going, you Getting angry?
I Still top my class, you know Jun Kiat got C
BEN
“Since teacher can’t teach you I teach you myself”
“Let’s learn some spelling, B is for Belt”
ANNETTE
Any, weapon any, where he’s
Making, hits like, Lin Jun, Jie
Spare the rod and spoil the kid,
but your stick, break cause, my skin thick
ALL
Sheeeeeesh
ALL
Bad grades (kenna whack)
Play games (kenna whack)
come home late (kenna whack)
go on date (kenna whack)
never sleep (kenna whack)
still asleep (kenna whack)
ANNETTE
my mother ask me cook the rice before she come home
but then i forgot and only realized 5 minutes before she came back
so i quickly went downstairs to buy white rice from the tze char stall instead then my mother come home and realized i bought the rice
and said wah so smart ah
BEN
oh so you never kena whack?
ANNETTE
no OF COURSE I KENA WHACK LAH
CHORUS
Da Shi Teng Da Shi Teng, Ma shi ai
Da Shi Teng Da Shi Teng, Ma shi ai
Dat shit hurt dat shit hurt, but I’m fine
I don’t cry, that’s just dust in my eye
ANNETTE
i make bangers man, this beat is boring
hit it with the clothes hanger, MUSIC RECORDING
BEN
piak piak piak that’s the sound
put it in a track that’s a percussion breakdown
(percussion break)
CHORUS
Da Shi Teng Da Shi Teng, Ma shi ai
Da Shi Teng Da Shi Teng, Ma shi ai
Dat shit hurt dat shit hurt, but I’m fine
I don’t cry, that’s just dust in my eye
BEN
I guess you can say that this beat slaps

actually i buy the rice from the tze char stall really quite smart what… sigh💔

[@minkyhow123]

I do that too. Sigh

[@nigel155]

Holy shit... this is too daammm good! Another league seriously. I'm literally loss for words / indescribable

[@lionelpwk]

Should also have said that our mothers' tell us to take out the food/meat from the fridge to defrost by only to realise it 5 - 10 mins before she comes home 😂🤣

[@fusioncrews5329]

COS YOU WASTE MONEY!! xD

[@genesisway01]

I thought i was listening to Jay Chou's song ! Well done both of u !

[@muhdrafie2191]

“This shit slaps” - literally and figuratively 😭

[@dlmhdlmh]

".. your middle name Jun Kiat!" kills me every time

[@mingyism]

i think they forgot to include this in the shangchi album

[@DJPatesBlog]

That would've been really funny. And then Crazy Rich Asians 2 meets Shangchi... that probably would have included this track.

[@tulipsandpeaches1834]

I love how for the various collab songs, Ann and Ben dabbled into different genres. Enjoyed myself at the live show, can't wait for the other mvs to be out!

[@jiaxian7470]

For those who wanna know her JC result slip: Chinese language H1 - A English language H1 - A Singlish language H1 - A Literature H2 - A Physics H2 - A Fruit cutting H2 - B! 😂😂

[@katelimyq]

aiyo

[@terencechin764]

B for fruit cutting?! now i noe why she kena whack! lol

[@atmfyjc]

Lol fruit cutting

[@patl.1640]

Is the 二胡 music played on a real 二胡? It sounds fantastic!!! Love the blend of traditional Chinese music with modern hip hop style music. Haha. The 笛子 is also brilliant. Well done, whoever played the instruments and whoever made the musical arrangement!!! Steady lah!!! 👍👍👍

[@an_xon]

Ive rewatched this 10 over times but im still laughing and bopping to it

[@summerain]

benjamin’s whole rap at the start is awesome lol

[@mysticwanderlust]

omg editing for this episode was class HAHA love the mv!! love how this show allows you two to sing different genres of songs, showing how versatile you guys are 🔥 really appreciate all the effort that went into creating the lyrics + MV + directing the mv and everything else behind the scenes!!

[@rayo6529]

One thousand likes for Benjamin's dance moves. Dope! Both Annette and Benjamin are amazingly gifted! Can't stop laughing throughout the video! Great rap, lyrics and cinematography!

[@aaydennck7561]

That 'piak,piak' killed me 🤣

[@eliTUNE]

Honestly top-notch content. Omgosh u guys are on a roll!!! Everything is on point. For example, i love how you mimicked the sounds of the Chinese words for the English part! Esp the chorus. And also using the idea of a "music beat/the beat slaps" as a parallel with beating/hitting the child. Genius.

[@sugarly69]

I guess you can say, this beat slaps.

[@TeoSzePin]

This song makes my childhood memories come flashing back and bring tears to my eyes! Kids, remember what Encik says, you can do anything you want, just don't get caught!

[@NoyumiAo]

standing ovation for the lyrics man, love this series so much and can't wait for more already!

[@calebheah8746]

Ann and Ben are so under rated. This show is so entertaining! 🥳

[@FriendlyPasserby13]

wow I'm continually blown away by the quality and creativity of these collars with Annette!! This is definitely on par with many of the international pop stars

[@Lena-kc9yn]

This is damn good sia , finally a true Singaporean flavour!!!!! LOVE IT

[@keizophrenic]

Wow. Who has been behind and producing these killer hits? Ben and Ann are on a roll yo!

[@vivsbeautynotes]

EVERYTHING about this is perfection omg

[@minrulee7112]

Love love love this new series! I’m pleasantly surprised by how well Singlish fits in a song. But come to think of it, it makes sense as a lot of international songs mixed in various languages. Can’t wait to see more of the series, love how y’all incorporated the Singaporean essence in each of your videos. 💯💯

[@chocolycation]

I love how the chorus rhymes and it's very catchy. And also PIAK PIAK 😂

[@BonkersTheBomb]

The A Level slip is class 😂👍

[@sarahl5213]

The cane of throne is a chair every Asian mom should be sitting on

[@guan2002]

This is brilliant, the rap, lyrics superbly accompanied by er hu and flute! The MV matches the song perfectly. Very relatable topic!

[@Ltwentytwo]

Annette's dead pan humour is mint

[@sucheng]

feel quite happy national arts council approved this amazing content

[@waspoh]

This reminds me of that iconic local song from the 90s - Why You So Like That

[@annew5380]

Both of you are super talented! Love your collabs!

This needs to blow up man it’s damn good!!!!

[@jiayangchua9774]

Ben's rap is dope

[@sugarly69]

I guess you guys are the artists that will help to reinvent and reinvigorate our unique Singapore identity. Benjamin is super talented, you get top marks for getting the characterisation of the Sg teenage twit/ ah Beng right.

[@glentan1001.]

Very very catchy, groving all the way, love it

[@gwynethtalabo837]

This is so good hahahah it's something i can relate lmao HAHAHAHA

[@basicsam]

felt it when she said "but your stick break cause my skin thick" coz my dad once beat the s-hit out of me and his stick broke lmao

[@sugarly69]

The joke is that parents don’t really “beat”‘ the girls. It’s like a home secret. Just a light slap really. But the boys can a trashing, in those days we always cried “not fair!”

[@basicsam]

@@sugarly69 LMAO no every single one of us got beat and not just a "light slap"

[@hansonsyc6074]

Since the tissue paper chomp is a Singapore thing, hope we can see this video in order to learn, reflect and at same time enjoy your wonderful work.

[@an_xon]

The hide in bed and jia jia shui part lowkey reminds me of a part in say so
