When I Grow Up (NF Remix) Lyrics
Read the lyrics
Verse 1:
Hello, my name is Gift!
I’m seventeen, but I look twenty six
I told my fans to go and read my lyrics’
1600 words now what did I expect? (hmm)
I got a fire you can’t pre-empt (yuh!)
Sway had an instagram live on this one weekend
He invited me So I could spit a verse for him then
But my wifi cut me off, hope he checks his DMs
Man I really hope he sees this to be honest
I’ve got fire like an old head at a concert! (Hey!)
Yo, my music’s so fire, they are warming to it
I can’t even put it out, man, I promise!
I've wanted this since I was a kid without a social life
I’ve been an introvert way before the coronavirus
I’d sickly spit flame, til my throat is burning
It’s tiring I’m burning out (hey!)
Ayy this wordplay’s like playing with fire so turn it up (Yeah!)
I am the wick, I’m the one on which the fire is lit
Blow it out, I’ll make it rise up again
Blow it out, I’ll make it rise up again!
But I doubt you’re legit if you try to suggest
That in spite of my skills I’ll entirely quit
I write my lyrics and forget 'bout sleep
So rest assured that I don’t get tired of this (No!)
Maybe my rapping game isn't too strong
Maybe I’ll make it but won’t last for long
Maybe if I start rapping about thongs
I could probably make a hit out of a song (yeah, yuh)
I pray that I’m wrong
'Cause I’m aiming for the stars, and the sun with these fires
But first lemme take you to when I was young (yeah)
About
When I Grow Up is a remix of NF’s 2019 When I Grow Up from his album The Search. This remix speaks on my passion for music in a comedic tone as I dramatically flaunt my rapping abilities through an extensive use of a fire-themed wordplay, an imagery which will prove to be more relevant in my coming projects.
When I Grow Up is lyrically one of my least complex projects. It is meant to serve as a comic relief after two emotionally packed projects, one being a five minutes long project about my confidence in rap Something New, and the other being a dark anti-drug song disguised as a party song Shake That Body
When I Grow Up is meant to be a project promoting my upcoming single “Little Child” Which speaks on my childhood and history with rap music. Hence why I chose to remix NF’s “When I Grow Up”.
Furthermore, the music video to this freestyle has a little easter egg on what on earth that blur on the “Shake That Body” cover art says:
