[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Hands up in the air if you livin' life young, wild and free
Made somethin' out of nothin' 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

[Chorus]
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

[Drop]
When I grow up
When I grow up (Mm)
When I grow up
When I grow up
When I grow up
[Verse 2]
Catch a bad chick by her toe
Be my little eenie meenie 'til I pick some more (Pick some more)
Good brain you make honor roll
I'm a cat, I'm a dog, I'm a PAW Patrol
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 Jordan, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Drop]
When I grow up (Yeah)
When I grow up (Mm)
When I grow up
When I grow up
When I grow up
When I grow up
When I grow up
Can't stop me running young, wild and free
When I grow up
