Grow Up Lyrics

You ever look back on your life and go, man, what was I thinking
I know I have
Well, growing up ain't easy, shoot, it ain’t easy at all
Lots of lessons to learn and lots of great memories
If you know what I'm talking about, then this songs for you

Playin' in the sun, everything was fun, uh huh
Kindergarten love had only just begun
Singin’ Rumpshaker at the back of the bus
I didn't know what zoom zoom and boom boom was
Cuz I'm barely even 6, flirty with the chicks
In my dirty little kicks, wearing frames you couldn't miss
And my momma said it's way to early for a kiss
Stop thinking bout them girls cause you're too young
But someday, I'll be a king and you'll see it soon
Someday, I’ll never ever have to clean my room
Someday, on the stage I’ll be big as Michael Jackson
Girlies in the front row screamin' while I’m rappin'
Passin' notes back and forth after recess
Teacher caught us, now I'm headed to the office
They called my momma, she didn’t even show up
Said, "You know what, call me when you grow up"

She said you know what, call me when you grow up
She said you know what, call me when you grow up
And all I hear is grow up, grow up, grow up
Well it's my life, I'mma do what I wanna do
It's my life, man, you know what, I'll call you when I blow up

That's okay, I don't even need a girlfriend
Uh huh, ya, sing it with me now
That's alright, I don't even want a girlfriend

Now it's schooly high, she was lookin fine
And I'm 'bout to make this girl be my valentine
So I put on my best J's and slide on through
Told her I'mma win the talent show just for you
Every time you dream, I'm the one you see, cause I'm
Not a wannabe, fake celebrity
So let's cut the small talk and grab my hand
Listen to me close so you'll understand
That someday, I'll be a king and you'll see it soon
Someday, You'll hear my songs from June to June
Someday, on the stage I'll be big as Michael Jackson
Better tell me now if you wanna make this happen
Rock the crowd, dropped the mic at the talent show
Saved a seat, "Where she at man?" I don't know
I had to text her cause she didn't even show up
And she wrote back, "Call me when you grow up."

Then she wrote back, "Call me when you grow up."
Then she wrote back, "Call me when you grow up."
And all I hear is grow up, grow up, grow up
Well it's my life, I'mma do what I wanna do
It's my life, man, you know what?
I'll call you when I blow up

That's okay, I don't even need a girlfriend
But I feel like I kinda wanna a girlfriend

Guess I'll never learn, always gettin' burned
I'm a little older now, tables haven't turned
And I'm still looking for the love that'll last forever
And I think I found the one, so I wrote this letter
If you give me the chance
I promise this time I'm gonna treat you right
Cause when I see you at a glance
Something tells me that our future's gonna be bright
And someday, you'll be a queen, I can see it soon
Someday, you'll see what I see in you
Someday, they'll see that you're the meaning of compassion
Your beauty and your brains are only part of the attraction
Sealed it up, got delivered with a bouquet
She asked if we could meet with heart emoji's, I said, "Okay"
And when she showed up, I told we should hold up
Forget me not, I'll call you when I grow up

Forget me not, I'll call you when I grow up
Forget me not, I'll call you when I grow up
And all I hear is grow up, grow up, grow up
Well it's my life, I'mma do what I wanna do
It's my life, I think I love you, I'll call you when I grow up
