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 (Uh-huh)
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 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

When I grow up
When I grow up (Mm)
When I grow up
When I grow up
When I grow up

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

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
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

Can't stop me runnin'
Young, wild and free
When I grow up
