Pj Simas – Growing Up lyrics

When I grow up I wanna be a big star
I'll work real hard ohh
You'll watch me and I'll get real far
Yeah I dream big
But one day I'm gonna reach the top
Cause my whole life whole life I'm gonna strive for it and never stop
Ahhhh Ohhhhhh
Ahhhh Ohhhhhh
Hey

Yeah It started as a dream
Kindergarten age 3
Steady sittin at my desk in my elastic string jeans
I would daze off in class busy thinking about big things
Girls with cooties never messing with my brain
I was focused I knew I was gonna be dope
Gotts make it baby like a game winning free throw
So my grades straight A's, sports every day
Nothing like leaving both your parents amazed
I was so into life everything gravy
Stay aiming at my goal
Vision never hazey
It's crazy, but so young had it so right
Perservering I got things to do with my life
And it seemed, this path laid out in front of me
Paved dirt no obstacles just green
Ain't nothing gonna trip me up or bring me down
I'm on a mission and I'm singing it out loud

When I grow up I wanna be a big star (I wanna be a big star)
I'll work real hard ohh
You'll watch me and I'll get real far (I'll get real far)
Yeah I dream big (I dream big)
But one day I'm gonna reach the top (reach the top)
Cause my whole life whole life I'm gonna strive for it and never stop
Ahhhh Ohhhhhh (Yeah)
Ahhhh Ohhhhhh (Alright)
Hey

So now I emerge as an eighth grader
Brace face gleaming never felt better sure
But I noticed I was gettin distracted
All these girls looking so damn attractive
And the fact is
I was down for it all
Puttin down the ball to hang out with the barbie dolls
Calls mixed with late night textin
Talking bout sexin
It's just experimenting
Me and my best friends
Always talkin bout
Who we hooking up with
And where are we going out
Intermingling with the opposite sex
I'm no longer single and I'm curious what's next
Moving way too fast
Mind getting perplexed
Shoot, but my priorities so messed
Every 6 seconds images of that dress
I'm losing sight of what I used to know best

When I grow up I wanna be a big star (I wanna be a big star)
I'll work real hard ohh
You'll watch me and I'll get real far (I'll get real far)
Yeah I dream big (I dream big)
But one day I'm gonna reach the top (reach the top)
Cause my whole life whole life I'm gonna strive for it and never stop

High school rolls around
King of the town
Every weekend I am all about getting down
My crews deep up at the parties with the hotties
And the handles of a coddy mixed with the best Collie
Cuz we from Cali baby and we livin life
Living it up, you only life once right
And this livings nice
Yeah this livings bright
And we addicted to this life so It's every night
Like a routine
Boy always on the scene
Sippin this blowing that lanquage obscene
On a mission to get higher as it seems
But I'm a wrecked ship and now I'm starting to sink
And as the story goes
Well whoda known
That instead of getting up I be feeling so low
No it can't be
This dream I once saw
Well now I can't see
Staring at myself up in the mirror
Realizing I used to see things clearer
But face it
I've lost it
And all the time I've wasted
Now I'm grown up and wishing I could be back to singing like

When I grow up I wanna be a big star (I wanna be a big star)
I'll work real hard ohh
You'll watch me and I'll get real far (I'll get real far)
Yeah I dream big (I dream big)
But one day I'm gonna reach the top (reach the top)
Cause my whole life whole life I'm gonna strive for it and never stop
Ahhhh Ohhhhhh (Yeah)
Ahhhh Ohhhhhh (Alright)
Ahhhh Ohhhhhh
Yeah It started as a dream
Uh
I said it started as a dream
Hey
