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

Livin' life in fast pace
Traded all my tours for foreplay
Sleepless nights turned to slumber parties
Looking juice tryna Coke and Bacardi
From daydreams and stories
That I live now, night till morning
From crawlin' to walkin'
Now I run the game like Spalding
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

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
When I grow up
Can't tell me nothing
When I grow up
Can't stop me running
When I grow up

Catch a bad chick by her toe
Be my little eenie meenie till I 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 Jordy, yeah
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

When I grow up, I wanna be like me (just like me)
Can't tell me nothing, 'bout who to be (yeah, yeah)
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 (ayy)
When I grow up
Can't tell me nothing (can't stop me)
When I grow up (all the way up, all the way up)
Can't stop me runnin' (yeah)
When I grow up
