When I Grow Up

When I grow up, I wanna be like me

Can't tell me nothing, 'bout who to be

When I grow up, I wanna be like me

Can't stop me runnin' young, wild and free

Livin' life in fast pace

Traded all my tours for foreplay

Sleepless nights turned to slumber parties

Looking juice tryna coke and Bacardi (uh-huh)

From daydreams and stories

That I live now, night 'til morning

From crawlin' to walkin'

Now I run the game like Spalding

Hands up in the air if you livin' life young, wild and free

Made something out of nothing from a dollar and a dream

Close my eyes and see my younger self smilin', smilin' at me

Looking back is funny 'cause I said

When I grow up, I wanna be like me

Can't tell me nothing, 'bout who to be

When I grow up, I wanna be like me

Can't stop me running young, wild and free

When I grow up

When I grow up (mm)

When I grow up

When I grow up

When I grow up

Catch a bad chick by her toe

Be my little eenie meenie 'til I pick some more (pick 'em up)

Good brain, you make honor roll

I'm a cat, I'm a dog, I'm a paw-patrol (mm-mm)

Back then, they didn't want me now

Mike Jones, they all up on me

From free throws to soarin'

Shoot my shot, they jump like Jordy, yeah

When you run the game this long, it starts to jog your memory

Learning ABCs to traveling global from A through Z

Cold shoulders turn to Miami heat and all through the club

Livin' out my childhood dreams, I say, one day

When I grow up, I wanna be like me

Can't tell me nothing, 'bout who to be

When I grow up (when I grow up), I wanna be like me (I wanna be like me)

Can't stop me runnin' (can't stop me runnin') young, wild and free (ay)

When I grow up, I wanna be like me

Can't tell me nothing, 'bout who to be

When I grow up (that's what's up), I wanna be like me (that's what's up)

Can't stop me runnin' (can't stop me runnin') young, wild and free (ay)

When I grow up

When I grow up (mm-mm)

When I grow up

Can't stop me runnin' young, wild and free

When I grow up
