[Intro]
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 runnin' young, wild and free

[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 till 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 something out of nothing 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 likе me
Can't tell me nothing, 'bout who to bе
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 till 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 (Mm)
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 Jordy, 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 (When I grow up), I wanna be like me (I wanna be like me)
Can't stop me runnin' (Can't stop me runnin') young, wild and free
When I grow up
When I grow up (Mm)
When I grow up
[Outro]
Can't stop me runnin'
Young, wild and free
When I grow up
