“When I Grow Up ” by NF

 

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 thinking, I will never succeed,
But I’m okay with it, I admit the lyrics are weak,
I been working 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, ah!

I know this probably isn’t really realistic,
And honestly, I might not ever make a difference,
But that don’t make a difference, Imma have to risk it,
I been crunching numbers, you ain’t gotta be a mathematician,
To see the odds ain’t rooting for me,
I can’t lie though, it’s kinda how I like it to be,
The underdog, yeah, you probably 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 probably 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 mill’,
Huh? Make a meal? Nah, I said make a mill’,
Home-cooking, get the grill, how you want it? Pretty well?
Everything I see, is overdone to me, I’m not Adele,
But, Imma get a record deal, and say hello to mass appeal,

 

When I grow up, I just want to pay my bills,
Rapping ’bout the way, I feel, oh yeah!
I just want to make a couple mill’,
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, Imma die real,

When I grow up,
Yeah, ayy!
When I grow up,
Yeah, yeah, ayy!

 

Imma make ’em notice me, rhyming like it’s poetry,
Everything I oversee, I just like to overthink,
Mocking 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 Imma 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 you, haters, go away before I hit you
I am not a beggar, or a kiss-up
You don’t understand? Well, I forgive you!
I am not a quitter, you ain’t really think that, did you?

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,
Telling me ,that I am not the only one that feels alone,
Huh? You feel alone? Yeah, I kinda feel alone!
Wonder if that feeling 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, Imma have to try it, though!

 

When I grow up, I just want to pay my bills,
Rapping ’bout the way, I feel, oh yeah!
I just want to make a couple mill’,
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, Imma die real,

When I grow up, I just want to pay my bills,
Rapping ’bout the way, I feel, oh yeah!
I just want to make a couple mill’,
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, Imma die real,
When I grow up!
