NF – When I Grow Up (Guitar)

Dm
Yeah, when I grow up, you know what I wanna be?

       F
Take a seat, let me tell you my ridiculous dreams

        Dm
I wanna rap, yeah, I know it's hard to believe

          F
And I can tell you're already thinkin' I will never succeed

         Dm
But I'm okay with it, I admit the lyrics are weak

          F
I've been workin' on 'em, I'll be good eventually

       Dm
I understand you gotta crawl before you get to your feet

           F
But I been running for a while,

           C
they ain't ready for me, ahh

Dm
  I know this prolly isn't really realistic

                F
And honestly, I might not ever make a difference

Dm
  But that don't make a difference, I'ma have to risk it

F
 I've been crunchin' numbers, you ain't gotta be a mathematician

Dm
  To see the odds ain't rootin' for me

        F
I can't lie though, it's kinda how I like it to be

         Dm
The underdog, yeah, you prolly think you know what I mean

             F
But what I'm saying is they ever push me, I'm gonna swing, yeah

Dm
  I could go to college, get in debt like everybody else

F
Graduate and prolly get a job that doesn't pay the bills

Dm
That don't make a lot of sense to me, forget the Happy Meals

F
I don't like the dollar menu, I would rather make a meal

Dm
Huh? Make a mil'? Nah, I said make a meal

F
Home-cookin', get the grill, how you want it? Pretty well?

Dm
Everything I see is overdone to me, I'm not Adele

    Bb
But I'ma get a record deal and say hello to mass appeal

            Dm
When I grow up, I just want to pay my bills

C
Rappin' about the way I feel (Oh,

F
yeah)

Bb
Leave it to the fam in the will

     Dm
(Oh, yeah)

F
Maybe buy a house up in the hills

     Dm
(Oh, yeah)

                 Bb
Might not be the best in my field

      F
But I guarantee that I'ma die

C
real

            Dm
When I grow up

      Bb
Yeah, ayy

            F
When I grow up

            C
Yeah, yeah, ayy

Dm                       Dm
I'ma make 'em notice me, rhymin' like it's poetry

Bb                    Bb
Everything I oversee, I just like to overthink

Dm                           Dm
Mockin' me, you pay the fee, no return and no receipts

Dm
Those of you that don't believe, quiet, you don't know a thing

Dm                         Dm
Quiet when I'm tryna sing, quiet when I'm making beats

Dm
Quiet when I'm tryna think,

F
sorry, I don't mean to scream

Dm
I just feel like no one really gets me and it's sad to see

       F
'Cause someday I'ma grow up and show all of you it's meant to be

 Dm
(Yeah)

                            Dm
Anybody wanna hear me rap? "No"

         Dm
tracks, "No"

       Dm
fast, "No"

            Dm
the trash? "No"

Dm
Tricked ya; haters, go away

         F
before I hit ya

                       F
I am not a beggar or a kiss-up

G
You don't understand? Well, I

   Dm
forgive ya

       C
really think that, did ya?

Dm
Maybe someday I could even be up on the radio

Bb
Have a tour bus and maybe even play a couple shows

Dm
Everybody in the crowd singing every word I wrote

Bb
Tellin' me that I am not the only one that feels alone

C
Huh? You feel alone? Yeah, I kinda feel alone

F
Wonder if that feelin' ever goes away when you get old

Dm
Will I ever make it as an artist? I don't really know

Bb
Might not make a lot of dough

C
I'ma have to try it, though

            Dm
When I grow up

Bb
Rappin' about the way I feel (Oh,

F
