[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Yeah, when I grow up, you know what I wanna be?
~#**************#~
Take a seat, let me tell you my ridiculous dreams
~#**************#~
I wanna rap, yeah, I know its hard to believe
~#**************#~
And I can tell youre already thinkin I will never succeed
~#**************#~
But Im okay with it, I admit the lyrics are weak
~#**************#~
Ive been workin on em, Ill be good eventually
~#**************#~
I understand you gotta crawl before you get to your feet
~#**************#~
But I been running for a while, they aint ready for me, ahh
~#**************#~
I know this prolly isnt really realistic
~#**************#~
And honestly, I might not ever make a difference
~#**************#~
But that dont make a difference, Ima have to risk it
~#**************#~
Ive been crunchin numbers, you aint gotta be a mathematician
~#**************#~
To see the odds aint rootin for me
~#**************#~
I cant lie though, its kinda how I like it to be
~#**************#~
The underdog, yeah, you prolly think you know what I mean
~#**************#~
But what Im saying is they ever push me, Im gonna swing, yeah
~#**************#~
I could go to college, get in debt like everybody else
~#**************#~
Graduate and prolly get a job that doesnt pay the bills
~#**************#~
That dont make a lot of sense to me, forget the Happy Meals
~#**************#~
I dont like the dollar menu, I would rather make a meal
~#**************#~
Huh? Make a mil? Nah, I said make a meal
~#**************#~
Home-cookin, get the grill, how you want it? Pretty well?
~#**************#~
Everything I see is overdone to me, Im not Adele
~#**************#~
But Ima get a record deal and say hello to mass appeal
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
When I grow up, I just want to pay my bills
~#**************#~
Rappin about the way I feel (Oh, yeah)
~#**************#~
I just want to make a couple mil
~#**************#~
Leave it to the fam in 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 in my field
~#**************#~
But I guarantee that Ima die real
~#**************#~
When I grow up
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Yeah, ayy
~#**************#~
When I grow up
~#**************#~
Yeah, yeah, ayy
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Ima make em notice me, rhymin like its poetry
~#**************#~
Everything I oversee, I just like to overthink
~#**************#~
Mockin me, you pay the fee, no return and no receipts
~#**************#~
Those of you that dont believe, quiet, you dont know a thing
~#**************#~
Quiet when Im tryna sing, quiet when Im making beats
~#**************#~
Quiet when Im tryna think, sorry, I dont mean to scream
~#**************#~
I just feel like no one really gets me and its sad to see
~#**************#~
‘Cause someday Ima grow up and show all of you its meant to be (Yeah)
~#**************#~
Anybody wanna hear me rap? “No”
~#**************#~
Come on, let me play a couple tracks, “No”
~#**************#~
Come on, 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 dont understand? Well, I forgive ya
~#**************#~
I am not a quitter, you aint 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 an artist? I dont really know
~#**************#~
Might not make a lot of dough
~#**************#~
Ima have to try it, though
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
When I grow up
~#**************#~
I just wanna pay my bills
~#**************#~
Rappin about the way I feel (Oh, yeah)
~#**************#~
I just wanna make a couple mil
~#**************#~
Leave it to the fam in the will (Oh, yeah)
~#**************#~
(Leave it to the fam in the will)
~#**************#~
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
~#**************#~
I just wanna sign a record deal
~#**************#~
Maybe buy a house up in the hills (Okay, oh, yeah)
~#**************#~
Might not be the best in my field (Ayy, ayy, yeah)
~#**************#~
But I guarantee that Ima die real
~#**************#~
When I grow up
~#**************#~
I just wanna pay my bills (Woo)
~#**************#~
Rappin about the way I feel (Oh, yeah)
~#**************#~
(Yeah, the way I feel)
~#**************#~
Yeah, I just wanna make a couple mil (Ayy, couple mil)
~#**************#~
Leave it to the fam in the will (Oh, yeah, to the fam in the will)
~#**************#~
I just wanna sign a record deal (Woo)
~#**************#~
Maybe buy a house up in the hills (Oh, yeah)
~#**************#~
(House up in the hills)
~#**************#~
Yeah, I might not be the best in my field
~#**************#~
But I guarantee that Ima die real
~#**************#~
When I grow up
~#**************#~
When I grow up
