NF - When I Grow Up Chords

[Verse 1]
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
 
 
[Chorus]
            Dm
When I grow up, I just want to pay my bills
C
Rappin' about the way I feel (Oh,
F
yeah)
N.C.
I just want to make a couple mil'
Bb
Leave it to the fam in the will
     Dm
(Oh, yeah)
N.C.
I just want to sign a record deal
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
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
      Bb
Yeah, ayy
            F
When I grow up
            C
Yeah, yeah, ayy
 
 
[Verse 2]
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"
N.C.
Come on, let me play a couple
         Dm
tracks, "No"
N.C.
Come on, I can spit it really
       Dm
fast, "No"
N.C.
You think I should throw this in
            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
N.C.
I am not a quitter, you ain't
       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
