[INTRO]

Dm

[VERSE 1]
Dm
Yeah, when I grow up, you know what I wanna be?
Dm
Take a seat, let me tell you my ridiculous dreams
Dm
I wanna rap, yeah, I know it's hard to believe
Dm
And I can tell you're already thinkin' I will never succeed

Dm
But I'm okay with it, I admit the lyrics are weak
Dm
I've been workin' on 'em, I'll be good eventually
Dm
I understand you gotta crawl before you get to your feet
Dm
But I been running for a while, they ain't ready for me (Ahh)

Dm
I know this prolly isn't really realistic
Dm
And honestly, I might not ever make a difference
Dm
But that don't make a difference, I'ma have to risk it
Dm
I've been crunchin' numbers, you ain't gotta be a mathematician

Dm
To see the odds ain't rootin' for me
Dm
I can't lie though, it's kinda how I like it to be
Dm
The underdog, yeah, you prolly think you know what I mean
Dm
But what I'm saying is they ever push me, I'm gonna swing, yeah

Dm
I could go to college, get in debt like everybody else
Dm
Graduate and prolly get a job that doesn't pay the bills
Dm
That don't make a lot of sense to me, forget the Happy Meals
Dm
I don't like the dollar menu, I would rather make a meal

Dm
Huh? Make a mil'? Nah, I said make a meal
Dm
Home-cookin', get the grill
Dm
How you want it? Pretty well?
Dm
Everything I see is overdone to me
Dm
I'm not Adele, but I'ma get a record deal and say hello to mass appeal

[CHORUS]
Dm
When I grow up, I just want to pay my bills
Dm
Rappin' about the way I feel (Oh, yeah)
Dm
I just want to make a couple mil'
Dm
Leave it to the fam in the will (Oh, yeah)

Dm
I just want to sign a record deal
Dm
Maybe buy a house up in the hills (Oh, yeah)
Dm
Might not be the best in my field
Dm
But I guarantee that I'ma die real
Dm
When I grow up
 
[BRIDGE]
Dm
Yeah, ayy
Dm
When I grow up
Dm
Yeah, yeah, ayy
 
[VERSE 2]
Dm
I'ma make 'em notice me, rhymin' like it's poetry
Dm
Everything I oversee, I just like to overthink
Dm
Mockin' me, you pay the fee
Dm
No return and no receipts

Dm
Those of you that don't believe, quiet, you don't know a thing
Dm
Quiet when I'm tryna sing
Dm
Quiet when I'm making beats
Dm
Quiet when I'm tryna think

Dm
Sorry, I don't mean to scream
Dm
I just feel like no one really gets me and it's sad to see
Dm
'Cause someday I'ma grow up and show all of you it's meant to be (Yeah)
Dm
Anybody wanna hear me rap? "No"

Dm
C'mon, let me play a couple tracks, "No"
Dm
C'mon, I can spit it really fast, "No"
Dm
You think I should throw this in the trash? "No"
Dm
Tricked ya; haters, go away before I hit ya

Dm
I am not a beggar or a kiss-up
Dm
You don't understand? Well, I forgive ya
Dm
I am not a quitter
Dm
You ain't really think that, did ya?

Dm
Maybe someday I could even be up on the radio
Dm
Have a tour bus and maybe even play a couple shows
Dm
Everybody in the crowd singing every word I wrote
Dm
Tellin' me that I am not the only one that feels alone

Dm
Huh? You feel alone?
Dm
Yeah, I kinda feel alone
Dm
Wonder if that feelin' ever goes away when you get old
Dm
Will I ever make it as an artist? I don't really know
Dm
Might not make a lot of dough
Dm
I'ma have to try it, though
