Grow Up - Christon Gray

You ever look back on your life and go, man, what was I thinking

I know I have

Well, growing up ain’t easy, shoot, it ain’t easy at all

Lots of lessons to learn and lots of great memories

If you know what I’m talking about, then this songs for you

Playin' in the sun, everything was fun, uh huh

Kindergarten love had only just begun

Singin' Rumpshaker at the back of the bus

I didn’t know what zoom zoom and boom boom was

Cuz I’m barely even 6, flirty with the chicks

In my dirty little kicks, wearing frames you couldn’t miss

And my momma said it’s way to early for a kiss

Stop thinking bout them girls cause you’re too young

But someday, I’ll be a king and you’ll see it soon

Someday, I’ll never ever have to clean my room

Someday, on the stage I’ll be big as Michael Jackson

Girlies in the front row screamin' while I’m rappin'

Passin' notes back and forth after recess

Teacher caught us, now I’m headed to the office

They called my momma, she didn’t even show up

Said, «You know what, call me when you grow up»

She said you know what, call me when you grow up

She said you know what, call me when you grow up

And all I hear is grow up, grow up, grow up

Well it’s my life, I’mma do what I wanna do

It’s my life, man, you know what, I’ll call you when I blow up

That’s okay, I don’t even need a girlfriend

Uh huh, ya, sing it with me now

That’s alright, I don’t even want a girlfriend

Now it’s schooly high, she was lookin fine

And I’m 'bout to make this girl be my valentine

So I put on my best J’s and slide on through

Told her I’mma win the talent show just for you

Every time you dream, I’m the one you see, cause I’m

Not a wannabe, fake celebrity

So let’s cut the small talk and grab my hand

Listen to me close so you’ll understand

That someday, I’ll be a king and you’ll see it soon

Someday, You’ll hear my songs from June to June

Someday, on the stage I’ll be big as Michael Jackson

Better tell me now if you wanna make this happen

Rock the crowd, dropped the mic at the talent show

Saved a seat, «Where she at man?"I don’t know

I had to text her cause she didn’t even show up

And she wrote back, «Call me when you grow up.»

Then she wrote back, «Call me when you grow up.»

Then she wrote back, «Call me when you grow up.»

And all I hear is grow up, grow up, grow up

Well it’s my life, I’mma do what I wanna do

It’s my life, man, you know what?

I’ll call you when I blow up

That’s okay, I don’t even need a girlfriend

But I feel like I kinda wanna a girlfriend

Guess I’ll never learn, always gettin' burned

I’m a little older now, tables haven’t turned

And I’m still looking for the love that’ll last forever

And I think I found the one, so I wrote this letter

If you give me the chance

I promise this time I’m gonna treat you right

Cause when I see you at a glance

Something tells me that our future’s gonna be bright

And someday, you’ll be a queen, I can see it soon

Someday, you’ll see what I see in you

Someday, they’ll see that you’re the meaning of compassion

Your beauty and your brains are only part of the attraction

Sealed it up, got delivered with a bouquet

She asked if we could meet with heart emoji’s, I said, «Okay»

And when she showed up, I told we should hold up

Forget me not, I’ll call you when I grow up

Forget me not, I’ll call you when I grow up

Forget me not, I’ll call you when I grow up

And all I hear is grow up, grow up, grow up

Well it’s my life, I’mma do what I wanna do

It’s my life, I think I love you, I’ll call you when I grow up
