Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I get old I'ma be real cool
Sittin' on the porch with a fresh pair of shoes
Whole bunch of stories for the neighborhood kids
Tell 'em to believe that we makin' it big
And I know
That life is nothing easy, nothing easy
One day I'ma change the world
And they'll finally believe me
[Verse 2]
From the outside looking in it seems that I'm fine
But they don't know shit about the everyday grind
Time is money and money is time
They tell me get there at five but I'm running behind
I try and live a little, go and have a little fun
You only young once so all the hatin' that be dumb
If life a joke then I'm waiting for the punch
You all about the beef but me I'm 'bout the bun
The bread 'cause I was just a little knucklehead
Now I got my shit together spittin' what they fuckin' with
If they ain't it's great no intention to the hate
Nothing changed still cutting up Henny's still my drink
I'm still the same old dude now makin' moves
It's like everything I do front page news
I ain't playin' in this game to lose
I want it all no secret the change they can keep it
[Verse 3]
When I get old I'ma be real cool
Sittin' on the porch with a fresh pair of shoes
Whole bunch of stories for the neighborhood kids
Tell 'em to believe that we makin' it big
And I know
That life is nothing easy, nothing easy
One day I'ma change the world
And they'll finally believe me
[Verse 4]
My grandpa told me one day I'll be everything and more
It's better not to question every lesson that's in store
See it's a blessing that I'm gettin' through the door
The money gonna fall when it rain it pours
Dear music you're everything I have now
When there's an army comin' for me I won't back down
'Cause I never was a kid in the background
Just a class clown but who's laughing now
My moms cried when she saw me in a cap and gown
It feels great to see my family proud but
I make mistakes too
My people always tell me Mac
Please don't ever let the fame change you
They say I'm so different but it ain't true
Still got the same girl roll with the same crew
I'm just doing what it takes for me to make do
And everyone around me gettin' paid too
[Verse 5]
When I get old I'ma be real cool
Sittin' on the porch with a fresh pair of shoes
Whole bunch of stories for the neighborhood kids
Tell 'em to believe that we makin' it big
And I know
That life is nothing easy, nothing easy
One day I'ma change the world
And they'll finally believe me
