Yeah, when I grow up do you know what I want to be?
Take a seat, let me tell you my ridiculous dreams
I want to rap, yeah I know it's hard to believe
And I can tell you're already thinking I will never succeed
Yeah, when I grow up do you know what I want to be?
Take a seat, let me tell you my ridiculous dreams
I want to rap, yeah I know it's hard to believe
And I can tell you're already thinking I will never succeed
But I'm okay with it, [?] the lyrics a week
I've been working I'll be good eventually
I understand you got to crawl before you get to your feet
But I've been running a while, they ain't ready for me
I know this prolly really isn't realistic
And honestly, I might never make a difference
But that don't make a difference, I'ma have to risk it
I've been punching numbers you don't have to be a mathematician
I see the odds ain't [?] for me, I can't lie tho it's kinda how I like it to be
The underdog, yeah, you prolly think you know what I mean
Yeah but what I'm saying if they ever push me I'm gonna swing
I can go to college gettin' [?] like everybody else
Graduating prolly get a job that doesn't pay the bills
That don't make a lot of sense to me forget the happy meals
I don't like the dollar menu I would rather make a mil'
Make a mil'? Naw, I said make a meal, home cooking get the grill, how you want it? Pretty well
Everything I'm seeing is over me I'm not Adele
But I'ma get a record deal, and say hello to [?]
[Chorus]
I just want to pay my bills, rapping about the way feel (Oh yeah)
I just want to make a couple mil', leave to the fam and the will (Oh yeah)
I just want to sign a record deal, maybe buy a house up in the hills (Oh yeah)
Might not be the best of my feel but I guarantee that I'ma die real
When I grow up, yeah, ayy, when I grow up
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'ma make 'em notice me, rhyming like it's poetry
Everything I oversee, I just like to overthink
I can't even pay the fee, no returning no receipts
For those who don't believe, quiet you don't know a thing
Quiet when I'm tryna to sing
Quiet when I'm making beats
Quiet when I'm tryna to think
Sorry I don't mean to scream
I just feel like no one really gets me
And it's sad to see cause someday I'ma grow up and show all of you it's meant to be (Yeah)
Anybody wanna hear me rap, no
C'mon let me play a couple tracks, no
C'mon I can spit it really fast, no
You think I should throw this in the trash, no
Tricked ya, haters go away before I hit ya
I am not a beggar or a kiss up
You don't understand well I forgive ya
I am not a quitter
You ain't really think that did ya?
Maybe someday I could even be up on the radio
Have a tour bus and maybe even play a couple shows
Everybody in the crowd singing every word I wrote
Tellin me that I am not the only one that feels alone
Huh
You feel alone yeah I kinda feel alone
Wonder if that feelin ever goes away when you get old
Will I ever make it as artist I don't really know
Might not make a lot of dough
I'ma have to try it though
[Chorus]
When I grow up
I just wanna pay my bills
Rappin about the way I feel (oh yea)
I just wanna make a couple mill
Leave it to the fam in the will (oh yea)
I just wanna sign a record deal
Maybe buy a house up in the hills (oh yea)
Might not be the best in my field
But I guarantee that I'ma die real
When I grow up
I just wanna pay my bills
Rappin about the way I feel (oh yea)
I just wanna make a couple mill
Leave it to the fam in the will (oh yea)
I just wanna sign a record deal
Maybe buy a house up in the hills (oh yea)
Might not be the best in my field
But I guarantee that I'ma die real
When I grow up
