[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 it`s hard to believe
And I can tell you`re already thinkin` I will never succeed
But I`m okay with it, I admit the lyrics are weak
I`ve been workin` on `em, I`ll be good eventually
I understand you gotta crawl before you get to your feet
But I been running for a while, they ain`t ready for me, ahh
I know this prolly isn`t really realistic
And honestly, I might not ever make a difference
But that don`t make a difference, I`ma have to risk it
I`ve been crunchin` numbers, you ain`t gotta be a mathematician
To see the odds ain`t rootin` for me
I can`t lie though, it`s kinda how I like it to be
The underdog, yeah, you prolly think you know what I mean
But what I`m saying is they ever push me, I`m gonna swing, yeah
I could go to college, get in debt like everybody else
Graduate and prolly get a job that doesn`t pay the bills
That don`t make a lot of sense to me, forget the Happy Meals
I don`t 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, I`m not Adele
But I`ma 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 I`ma die real
When I grow up

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, ayy
When I grow up
Yeah, yeah, ayy

[Verse 2]
I`ma make `em notice me, rhymin` like it`s poetry
Everything I oversee, I just like to overthink
Mockin` me, you pay the fee, no return and no receipts
Those of you that don`t believe, quiet, you don`t know a thing
Quiet when I`m tryna sing, quiet when I`m making beats
Quiet when I`m tryna think, sorry, I don`t mean to scream
I just feel like no one really gets me and it`s sad to see
`Cause someday I`ma grow up and show all of you it`s 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 don`t understand? Well, I forgive ya
I am not a quitter, you ain`t 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 don`t really know
Might not make a lot of dough
I`ma 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 I`ma 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 I`ma die real
When I grow up
When I grow up
