Lyrics
0:08Yeah when I grow up you know what I wanna be
0:10Take a seat let me tell you my ridiculous dreams
0:13I wanna rap yeah I know it's hard to believe
0:15And I can tell you're already thinkin' I will never succeed
0:17But I'm okay with it I admit the lyrics are weak
0:19I've been workin' on 'em I'll be good eventually
0:21I understand you gotta crawl before you get to your feet
0:23But I been running for a while they ain't ready for me
0:26Ahh
0:26I know this prolly isn't really realistic
0:28And honestly I might not ever make a difference
0:31But that don't make a difference I'ma have to risk it
0:32I've been crunchin' numbers you ain't gotta be a mathematician
0:35To see the odds ain't rootin' for me
0:37I can't lie though it's kinda how I like it to be
0:39The underdog yeah you prolly think you know what I mean
0:41But what I'm saying is they ever push me I'm gonna swing yeah
0:43I could go to college get in debt like everybody else
0:46Graduate and prolly get a job that doesn't pay the bills
0:48That don't make a lot of sense to me forget the Happy Meals
0:50I don't like the dollar menu I would rather make a meal
0:52Huh make a mil'
0:53Nah I said make a meal
0:54Home-cookin' get the grill
0:55How you want it pretty well
0:56Everything I see is overdone to me
0:58I'm not Adele but I'ma get a record deal and say hello to mass appeal
1:01When I grow up I just want to pay my bills
1:03Rappin' about the way I feel
1:05Oh yeah
1:06I just want to make a couple mil'
1:07Leave it to the fam in the will
1:09Oh yeah
1:10I just want to sign a record deal
1:12Maybe buy a house up in the hills
1:13Oh yeah
1:14Might not be the best in my field
1:16But I guarantee that I'ma die real
1:18When I grow up
1:20Yeah ayy
1:22When I grow up
1:24Yeah yeah ayy
1:27I'ma make 'em notice me rhymin' like it's poetry
1:29Everything I oversee I just like to overthink
1:31Mockin' me you pay the fee
1:32No return and no receipts
1:34Those of you that don't believe quiet you don't know a thing
1:36Quiet when I'm tryna sing
1:37Quiet when I'm making beats
1:38Quiet when I'm tryna think
1:39Sorry I don't mean to scream
1:40I just feel like no one really gets me and it's sad to see
1:42'Cause someday I'ma grow up
1:43And show all of you it's meant to be
1:44Yeah
1:45Anybody wanna hear me rap
1:47No
1:47C'mon let me play a couple tracks
1:49No
1:49C'mon I can spit it really fast
1:51No
1:51You think I should throw this in the trash
1:53No
1:54Tricked ya haters go away before I hit ya
1:56I am not a beggar or a kiss-up
1:58You don't understand well I forgive ya
1:59I am not a quitter
2:00You ain't really think that did ya
2:02Maybe someday I could even be up on the radio
2:04Have a tour bus and maybe even play a couple shows
2:06Everybody in the crowd singing every word I wrote
2:08Tellin' me that I am not the only one that feels alone
2:11Huh you feel alone
2:12Yeah I kinda feel alone
2:13Wonder if that feelin' ever goes away when you get old
2:15Will I ever make it as an artist I don't really know
2:17Might not make a lot of dough
2:18I'ma have to try it though
