NF - When I Grow Up

[00:26.54] Yeah, when I grow up, you know what I wanna be?

[00:28.30] Take a seat, let me tell you my ridiculous dreams

[00:30.80] I wanna rap, yeah, I know it's hard to believe

[00:32.80] And I can tell you're already thinkin' I will never succeed

[00:34.80] But I'm okay with it, I admit the lyrics are weak

[00:37.05] I been workin' on 'em, I'll be good eventually

[00:39.31] I understand you gotta crawl before you get to your feet

[00:41.79] But I been running for a while, they ain't ready for me, ah

[00:44.30] I know this probably isn't really realistic

[00:46.55] And honestly, I might not ever make a difference

[00:48.80] But that don't make a difference, I'ma have to risk it

[00:51.05] I been crunchin' numbers, you ain't gotta be a mathematician

[00:53.30] And see the odds ain't rootin' for me

[00:54.54] I can't lie though, it's kinda how I like it to be

[00:57.04] The underdog, yeah, you probably think you know what I mean

[00:59.05] But what I'm saying is they ever push me, I'm gonna swing, yeah

[01:02.29] I could go to college, get in debt like everybody else

[01:03.80] Graduate and probably get a job that doesn't pay the bills

[01:05.80] That don't make a lot of sense to me, forget the Happy Meals

[01:07.80] I don't like the dollar menu, I would rather make a meal

[01:11.30] Huh? Make a mil'? Nah, I said make a meal

[01:12.30] Home-cookin', get the grill, how you want it? Pretty well?

[01:14.54] Everything I see is overdone to me, I'm not Adele

[01:16.55] But I'ma get a record deal and say hello to mass appeal

[01:19.06] When I grow up, I just want to pay my bills

[01:21.30] Rappin' 'bout the way I feel, oh yeah

[01:24.05] I just want to make a couple mil'

[01:25.54] Leave it to the fam in the will, oh yeah

[01:28.31] I just want to sign a record deal

[01:29.80] Maybe buy a house up in the hills, oh yeah

[01:32.80] Might not be the best in my field

[01:34.80] But I guarantee that I'ma die real

[01:36.06] When I grow up

[01:38.06] Yeah, ayy

[01:40.55] When I grow up

[01:42.80] Yeah, yeah, ayy

[01:45.31] I'ma make 'em notice me, rhymin' like it's poetry

[01:47.30] Everything I oversee, I just like to overthink

[01:49.54] Mockin' me, you pay the fee, no return and no receipts

[01:51.80] Those of you that don't believe, quiet, you don't know a thing

[01:54.05] Quiet when I'm tryna sing, quiet when I'm making beats

[01:56.30] Quiet when I'm tryna think, sorry, I don't mean to scream

[01:58.55] I just feel like no one really gets me and it's sad to see

[02:01.05] 'Cause someday I'ma grow up and show all of you it's meant to be, yeah

[02:02.81] Anybody wanna hear me rap? (No)

[02:06.56] Come on, let me play a couple tracks (no)

[02:08.06] Come on, I can spit it really fast (no)

[02:10.54] You think I should throw this in the trash? (No)

[02:12.05] Tricked you, haters, go away before I hit you

[02:14.30] I am not a beggar or a kiss-up

[02:15.80] You don't understand? Well, I forgive you

[02:17.55] I am not a quitter, you ain't really think that, did you?

[02:20.30] Maybe someday I could even be up on the radio

[02:22.31] Have a tour bus and maybe even play a couple shows

[02:24.06] Everybody in the crowd singin' every word I wrote

[02:26.80] Tellin' me that I am not the only one that feels alone

[02:29.05] Huh? You feel alone? Yeah, I kinda feel alone

[02:31.05] Wonder if that feelin' ever goes away when you get old

[02:33.06] Will I ever make it as an artist? I don't really know

[02:35.30] Might not make a lot of dough, I'ma have to try it, though

[02:37.30] When I grow up, I just want to pay my bills

[02:40.06] Rappin' about the way I feel, oh yeah

[02:42.56] I just want to make a couple mil'

[02:44.54] Leave it to the fam in the will, oh yeah (yeah)

[02:46.80] I just want to sign a record deal

[02:48.81] Maybe buy a house up in the hills, oh yeah (okay)

[02:51.30] Might not be the best in my field (ayy)

[02:52.83] But I guarantee that I'ma die real (ayy, oh)

[02:54.79] When I grow up, I just want to pay my bills (woo)

[02:57.05] Rappin' about the way I feel, oh yeah (yeah, the way I feel)
