WhenIGrowUp Lyrics

When I grow up

I want to be influential

When I grow up

I want to be influential

When I grow up

I want to be influential

I want to be influential

When I grow up

I want to be influential

With inspiration spreading like influenza

To be a pro I can't con

That's consequential

When I grow up

I don't want to be wasted potential

Ill leave a mark like a pen not a pencil

I'll use a muse but I won't use a stencil

I hope they listen like music

Ironically that's my utensil

If I don't know how to use it

How will I expand any mental

What's inside me stays reclusive

If I don't open my mouth

Like for dental Work

I gotta get active and to it and through it

I've accepted I must exert

Blood sweat and tears

I must get through all my failures and fears

And come out smiling ear to ear

Listen here

I tell demons leave me alone

Like I'm hearing akira

I can not be slurring my words

Or smearing mascara

I don't do crystal balls but it is clearer

The vision I give like air in this era

A reason to choke up and care

Uh-huh

When I grow up

I want to be influential

With inspiration spreading like influenza

To be a pro I can't con

That's consequential

When I grow up

I don't want to be wasted potential

Ill leave a mark like a pen not a pencil

I'll use a muse but I won't use a stencil

This a whole new program you can't cancel

Its time to grow man like Gretel and Hansel

Turning more kind

And in turn kinda more handsome

Christ paid my debt

When the devil held ransom

For now I know my worth

Forward I'm glancing

I look back on the beat life gave

And begin dancing

I'm no longer that boy

Begging and chancing

I'm getting bigger like mansion

When I was little

I was just a kid who

Would act like a puppy

Who wanted some kibble

If I wanted it I thought I should get it

Till the chops of this life started to ripple

And clap my lights on and off like a syllable

I wanted to ball

But didn't know how to dribble

I was my dads only child for minute

But mom had a litter

I was baby till I got put in the middle

Then dad had some more

So I had to be bigger

as I grew more I seen that I am sicker

And if I infected my siblings

I'm sicker than who made me sick

So I can't play a victim

I know I can't save all

But I must try to get them

The help that they need

Or might as well admit them

Along with myself to be slaves to the system

Sorrowful man meaning of Triston

I'm trynna rebrand it

To something that gifts some positivity

In a world full of fists instead of hugging

And a lil bit of kissing

Yes I'm Christian

But this isn't

What most wanna hear

So they won't even listen

They distance in instants

and obstacles I could go on and on listing

But I'm hurdling

Missles hurled at my mission

For compliments I'm not fishing

I'm trynna shed all the tension

And catch some attention

For sake of embellishing

The idea of lighting up the world

Stuck in ditch and

I'm not talking ignition of kitchen flame

But more like lighting the dark

That's bewitching in manners

That's plainly itching and glitching

From this I'm not switching

When I grow up

I want to be influential

With inspiration spreading like influenza

To be a pro I can't con

That's consequential

When I grow up

I don't want to be wasted potential

Ill leave a mark like a pen not a pencil

I'll use a muse but I won't use a stencil

When I grow up

I want to be influential

With inspiration spreading like influenza

To be a pro I can't con

That's consequential

When I grow up

I don't want to be wasted potential

Ill leave a mark like a pen not a pencil

I'll use a muse but I won't use a stencil

Huh

Growing pains

Showing main plot points to explain

What is vain and what is not

What is left to gain

When I'm barely a grain of salt

Or a stain in the grand scheme of things

That gods created and has claimed?

Now I'm free of shame

I had to grow to see the bigger picture

That can fit this frame

I acted lit I was in flames

I tried to dig what was in a drain

Now I'm lifted fixing like im in a crane

This a time for new beginnings

And imagine me growing again

I'm glowing saying what I'm knowing

No playing
