📜 Lyrics
When I grow up I wanna see the world!
Catch a flight to Africa building up schools for boys and girls
When I grow up I need a million dollars!
Cause' it's been way too long
I'm tryna bring home all of the Fathers
And possibly I'll become a Doctor!
So I could heal with natural remedies that Mr. Sebi taught us
Or maybe one day I'll be an Author!
Write the story on how to Love, regardless if skin is darker
Ooo I got it I can be a Foster!
To all the Kids of vacant homes
And personas shown to the Daughters
I gotta become the freshest Barber!
They pushed my homie hair-line back it's gotta be sharper
Ok this next one got me thinking smarter!
Round up all the homeless in Flint
So they can rinse in my water
Start a part of the new generation that grow to see
Everything they could believe, all they had to do is Dream like
Last night I Dreamed I would be somethin' somethin'
My Wings made me fly so high
Wake up and tell the World I'm comin' comin'
One day Ima be a Star
As I grew up they told me not to dream
You better go get you an education
That's everything that you need I was afraid not to get that degree
Cause if I drop out don't know if my family would agree
And Ma I want you to be proud of me
And so I'm taking every class I did trash on my SAT's
I'm needing something at a different speed
They told me go get a job and follow the lead
So now I'm grown and I wanna be free (free free free)
Climb out this box I was given
I'm on a mission I just gotta be(be be be)
Willing to follow my Heart no matter where it may lead
So Dear World, I'll go farther to bigger things
Know I gotta harbor all of these songs for Kids to sing
So farewell to all of those nightmares
I gotta go spread my wings, I started off with my Dream like
Last night I Dreamed I would be somethin' somethin'
My wings made me fly so high
Wake up and tell the World I'm comin' comin'
One day Ima be a Star
Catch a flight to Africa building up schools for boys and girls
When I grow up I need a million dollars!
Cause' it's been way too long
I'm tryna bring home all of the Fathers
And possibly I'll become a Doctor!
So I could heal with natural remedies that Mr. Sebi taught us
Or maybe one day I'll be an Author!
Write the story on how to Love, regardless if skin is darker
Ooo I got it I can be a Foster!
