when-i-grow-up

[00:08.68] Yeah, when I grow up, you know what I wanna be?

[00:10.42] Take a seat, let me tell you my ridiculous dreams

[00:12.40] I wanna rap, yeah, I know it's hard to believe

[00:14.67] And I can tell you're already thinkin' I will never succeed

[00:16.89] But I'm okay with it, I admit the lyrics are weak

[00:18.91] I been workin' on 'em, I'll be good eventually

[00:21.14] I understand you gotta crawl before you get to your feet

[00:23.14] But I been running for a while, they ain't ready for me, ah

[00:25.39] I know this probably isn't really realistic

[00:28.64] And honestly, I might not ever make a difference

[00:30.38] But that don't make a difference, I'ma have to risk it

[00:32.64] I been crunchin' numbers, you ain't gotta be a mathematician

[00:34.63] To see the odds ain't rootin' for me

[00:36.38] I can't lie though, it's kinda how I like it to be

[00:38.66] The underdog, yeah, you probably think you know what I mean

[00:40.88] But what I'm saying is they ever push me, I'm gonna swing, yeah

[00:42.88] I could go to college, get in debt like everybody else

[00:45.41] Graduate and probably get a job that doesn't pay the bills

[00:48.62] That don't make a lot of sense to me, forget the Happy Meals

[00:49.89] I don't like the dollar menu, I would rather make a mil'

[00:52.13] Huh? Make a meal? Nah, I said make a mil'

[00:54.39] Home-cookin', get the grill, how you want it? Pretty well?

[00:56.37] Everything I see is overdone to me, I'm not Adele

[00:58.65] But I'ma get a record deal and say hello to mass appeal

[01:00.62] When I grow up, I just want to pay my bills

[01:02.86] Rappin' about the way I feel, oh yeah

[01:05.63] I just want to make a couple mil'

[01:07.36] Leave it to the fam in the will, oh yeah

[01:09.86] I just want to sign a record deal

[01:11.62] Maybe buy a house up in the hills, oh yeah

[01:14.14] Might not be the best in my field

[01:15.88] But I guarantee that I'ma die real

[01:17.63] When I grow up

[01:18.63] Yeah, ayy

[01:21.85] When I grow up

[01:24.12] Yeah, yeah, ayy

[01:26.61] I'ma make 'em notice me, rhymin' like it's poetry

[01:29.10] Everything I oversee, I just like to overthink

[01:31.10] Mockin' me, you pay the fee, no return and no receipts

[01:33.38] Those of you that don't believe, quiet, you don't know a thing

[01:35.88] Quiet when I'm tryna sing, quiet when I'm making beats

[01:37.85] Quiet when I'm tryna think, sorry, I don't mean to scream

[01:40.10] I just feel like no one really gets me and it's sad to see

[01:42.10] 'Cause someday I'ma grow up and show all of you it's meant to be, yeah

[01:44.35] Anybody wanna hear me rap? "No"

[01:47.10] Come on, let me play a couple tracks, "No"

[01:49.34] Come on, I can spit it really fast, "No"

[01:51.35] You think I should throw this in the trash? "No"

[01:53.85] Tricked you, haters, go away before I hit you

[01:55.59] I am not a beggar or a kiss-up

[01:57.34] You don't understand? Well, I forgive you

[01:59.09] I am not a quitter, you ain't really think that, did you?

[02:01.83] Maybe someday I could even be up on the radio

[02:04.09] Have a tour bus and maybe even play a couple shows

[02:06.09] Everybody in the crowd singin' every word I wrote

[02:08.33] Tellin' me that I am not the only one that feels alone

[02:10.34] Huh? You feel alone? Yeah, I kinda feel alone

[02:12.84] Wonder if that feelin' ever goes away when you get old

[02:14.83] Will I ever make it as an artist? I don't really know

[02:17.11] Might not make a lot of dough, I'ma have to try it, though

[02:19.10] When I grow up, I just want to pay my bills

[02:21.33] Rappin' about the way I feel, oh yeah

[02:24.09] I just want to make a couple mil'

[02:25.83] Leave it to the fam in the will, oh yeah (yeah)

[02:28.35] I just want to sign a record deal

[02:30.08] Maybe buy a house up in the hills, oh yeah (okay)

[02:32.84] Might not be the best in my field (ayy)

[02:34.32] But I guarantee that I'ma die real (ayy, oh)

[02:36.32] When I grow up, I just want to pay my bills (woo)

[02:38.83] Rappin' about the way I feel, oh yeah (yeah, the way I feel)

[02:41.56] Yeah, I just want to make a couple mil' (ayy)

[02:43.32] Leave it to the fam in the will, oh yeah (to the fam in the will)

[02:45.84] I just want to sign a record deal (woo)

[02:47.81] Maybe buy a house up in the hills, oh yeah (a house up in the hills)

[02:50.32] Yeah, I might not be the best in my field (ayy)

[02:52.08] But I guarantee that I'ma die real

[02:53.56] When I grow up
