NF - When I Grow Up

[00:02.88] "When I Grow Up"

[00:19.63] Yeah, when I grow up, you know what I wanna be?

[00:27.13] Take a seat, let me tell you my ridiculous dreams

[00:30.89] I wanna rap—yeah, I know it's hard to believe

[00:32.88] And I can tell you're already thinkin' I will never succeed

[00:35.38] But I'm okay with it, I admit the lyrics are weak

[00:37.38] I've been workin' on 'em, I'll be good eventually

[00:39.63] I understand you gotta crawl before you get to your feet

[00:41.88] But I been running for a while, they ain't ready for me (Ahh)

[00:44.13] I know this prolly isn't really realistic

[00:46.88] And honestly, I might not ever make a difference

[00:48.88] But that don't make a difference, I'ma have to risk it

[00:50.88] I've been crunchin' numbers, you ain't gotta be a mathematician

[00:53.13] To see the odds ain't rootin' for me

[00:54.88] I can't lie though, that's kinda how I like it to be

[00:56.88] The underdog, yeah, you prolly think you know what I mean

[00:59.13] But what I'm saying is—they ever push me, I'm gonna swing, yeah

[01:01.63] I could go to college, get in debt like everybody else

[01:03.88] Graduate and prolly get a job that doesn't pay the bills

[01:06.13] That don't make a lot of sense to me, forget the Happy Meals

[01:08.14] I don't like the dollar menu, I would rather make a meal

[01:10.38] Huh? Make a mil'? Nah, I said make a meal

[01:12.38] Home cookin', get the grill

[01:13.88] How you want it? Pretty well?

[01:14.88] Everything I'm seeing is overdone to me, I'm not Adele

[01:16.89] But I'ma get a record deal and say hello to mass appeal

[01:18.88] When I grow up, I just want to pay my bills

[01:21.13] Rappin' about the way I feel (Oh, yeah)

[01:24.13] I just want to make a couple mil', leave to the fam and in the will (Oh, yeah)

[01:28.14] I just want to sign a record deal, maybe buy a house up in the hills (Oh, yeah)

[01:32.63] Might not be the best in my field, but I guarantee that I'ma die real

[01:35.88] When I grow up

[01:38.39] Yeah, ayy

[01:40.38] When I grow up

[01:42.64] Yeah, yeah, ayy!

[01:45.13] I'ma make 'em notice me, rhyming like it's poetry

[01:47.38] Everything I oversee, I just like to overthink

[01:49.63] Mockin' me, you pay the fee

[01:51.63] No return and no receipts

[01:51.88] Those of you that don't believe—quiet, you don't know a thing

[01:54.13] Quiet when I'm tryna to sing

[01:55.14] Quiet when I'm making beats

[01:56.14] Quiet when I'm tryna to think

[01:57.38] Sorry, I don't mean to scream

[01:58.38] I just feel like no one really gets me and it's sad to see

[02:00.38] 'Cause someday I'ma grow up and show all of you it's meant to be (Yeah)

[02:02.63] Anybody wanna hear me rap? "No"

[02:05.38] C'mon, let me play a couple tracks, "No"

[02:07.38] C'mon, I can spit it really fast, "No"

[02:09.63] You think I should throw this in the trash? "No"

[02:11.88] Tricked ya—haters, go away before I hit ya

[02:13.88] I am not a beggar or a kiss up

[02:15.89] You don't understand? Well, I forgive ya

[02:17.63] I am not a quitter

[02:18.64] You ain't really think that, did ya?

[02:20.38] Maybe someday I could even be up on the radio

[02:22.38] Have a tour bus and maybe even play a couple shows

[02:24.63] Everybody in the crowd singing every word I wrote

[02:26.88] Tellin' me that I am not the only one that feels alone

[02:28.88] Huh? You feel alone?

[02:30.13] Yeah, I kinda feel alone

[02:31.13] Wonder if that feelin' ever goes away when you get old

[02:33.38] Will I ever make it as an artist? I don't really know

[02:35.38] Might not make a lot of dough

[02:36.88] I'ma have to try it though

[02:37.63] When I grow up

[02:38.39] I just wanna pay my bills

[02:39.63] Rappin' about the way I feel (Oh, yeah)

[02:42.39] I just wanna make a couple mil'

[02:43.88] Leave it to the fam in the will (Oh, yeah)

[02:46.63] (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[02:47.13] I just wanna sign a record deal

[02:48.38] Maybe buy a house up in the hills (Okay, oh yeah)

[02:50.88] Might not be the best in my field (Ayy, ayy)
