(+) NF - When I Grow Up
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
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
Yeah ayy
When I grow up
Yeah yeah ayy
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
C'mon let me play a couple tracks no
C'mon 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
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)
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
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'
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
