When i grow up By Dannie J

[instrumental intro] Baby, I'ma Ai-Ai-Ai-Ai-Ai-Ai-Aisa On Da Runway [Verse 1] When i grow up, you know what i wanna be? take a walk with me, while i tell u my dream, i wanna rap, and sing, yeah, its hard to believe, and i can see u already thinking i aint gonna succeed, i've been working on a couple of songs, tryna improve, yeah i know, they can be lame and weak, but ill improve, oh yeah, they all think im quiet, but that doesn’t mean anything, im quiet, im shy, but i observe, ugh, yeah, i try listening to everything, they think im too depressed to be succeeding in life, but i know God has plan, yeah, he aint letting me die, i dont, and i wont listen to those voices, only the words God needs to tell me for my choices, i remember when they gossiped, judged, laughed at me, but they don't know my future, so they should just let me be, i pray, i stand firm, i dont follow along, i just try to be me, but when i am, i aint good enough to be me (ughhh) [Pre-chorus] "Can i rap for your a bit?" NO "Can i show one of my lyrics" NO "Oh, c'mon just a couple songs" NO "So i'll put them in the trash" NO Hah, tricked ya, Haters in the back, yeah, dont mess with me, you think im gonna fail? then why'd you say that to me, (la la la la la la) [Chorus] when i grow up, glow up, you’ll see the change (yuh) gonna drop to your knees, yeah, you’ll say i changed when i grow up, glow up, i wont play no games (nah) cause when i grow up, glow up, i'll grow up like everyone wanted. [Verse 2] ive been quiet for a while, my mind's been racing nonstop, i remember every side eye they threw at me, every mad look they gave me. while i built my dreams and future in the silence, while they laugh and gossip out loud (yeah) i pray every night, still standing tall with my head up straight, but they think i’m too small, too shy, too weak to ever stand striaght, but God is with me, guiding me, opening my eyes.. (yeah) every setback was a setup for something strong and bigger (bigger) every judge i heard taught me a lesson, made me stronger every tear i cried in secret, every night i spent working hard will pay off... i’m growing while they’re sleeping, putting my faith into everything i do.. i’m writing my story, gonna chase my dreams, turning my pain into something beautiful they want to see me fail, want to see me give up, but i aint, im gonna be steady, i'm gonna be focused, walking the paths God has shown me.... (yeah) i don’t need people cheering, i don’t need validation from them (no no) i just follow God’s voice, and see what i come up with, for me not them, i may be quiet on the outside, but inside i’m ready to make a big change... (big change) my time to glow is coming, yeah, watch me, follow me, yeah, you'll see me change. [Chorus] when i grow up, glow up, you’ll see the change (yuh) gonna drop to your knees, yeah, you’ll say i changed when i grow up, glow up, i wont play no games (nah) cause when i grow up, glow up, i'll grow up like everyone wanted.
