[Bit 1]
- So my name is Surjan.
I don't know if you guys can tell by looking at me,
but my parents are brown immigrants.
And my mom, she wanted me to be a doctor so bad,
she named me Surjan.
It's fucked up, I know so much pressure.
Imagine being named after a job.
But my name's kind of cool.
My siblings, they got it so much worse.
My older brother, his name is Engineer.
Yeah, and he grew up to be an engineer
'cause he's a suck up.
But my little sister, she has the worst name.
I feel so bad for her.
They didn't really believe in her that much,
so they named her Abortion.
[Bit 2]
Just to get real for a second,
I don't know if you guys are still doing
your New Year's resolution,
but as of today, I'm officially four months sober.
Thank you, thank you.
It's been four months since I last said the N word.
Yeah, staying strong, staying strong.
[Bit 3]
Knock, knock.
My cat.
Leo.
Oh, I was, I was hoping I was at a minute,
but I didn't get it.
