Thirteen, live fast die young No sight of the future, a loser with a wild tongue Fourteen I used to play pretend With my pretend friends, petty thief with loose ends Dope fiend at fifteen, sixteen so shifty Bottle at my fingertips, foreign lips and whiskey Sex on my mind all the time Pop, flip, catch, yeah I kick-flipped the nine I was fine with the way things were Time flies, now it's all just a blur
[Chorus] When I grow up, it's all good I'm gonna be someone, yeah When I grow up, Hollywood here I come When I grow up, I thought I was gonna be someone When I grow up, Hollywood here I come
[Verse 2] Seventeen it was all pristine, getting pissed with feems Ready for B.E.D. the dream team living the dream Eighteen economy I wanna see the world We set sail and my sister had a little girl Nineteen I was blessed with a curse, it could be worse I could be dead in a hearse but it still hurts My birthday was the first day Now twenty cursed years on this earth, hey
[Chorus] When I grow up, it's all good I'm gonna be someone, yeah When I grow up, Hollywood here I come When I grow up, I thought I was gonna be someone When I grow up, Hollywood here I come
[Verse 3] Twenty-one seconds to minutes, days to days Minutes to hours, I watch my life waste away Twenty-two I'm so fucked up, get me out of my mind I'm so fucked up, oh I think I'm in love Twenty-three lost but no love lost Feel like carrion twenty-four centenarian Twenty-five in sight, will I find peace before I die?
[Chorus] When I grow up, it's all good I'm gonna be someone, yeah When I grow up, Hollywood here I come When I grow up, I thought I was gonna be someone When I grow up, Hollywood here I come
