When I Grow Up
by: De'Wayne Simpson
When I grow up
I wanna be the president of the
Not the head of some organized crime family
I wanna be the owner of a pro sports team
Not some uneducated athlete, hopin’ not to get ripped off
I wanna own prime pieces of real estate
Not dope houses and crack corners
I wanna be a mechanic; I hear they make good money
If so, I wanna own my own garage
Not runnin’ some chop shop in the back of an alley
I wouldn’t mind workin’ my pennies to dollars in investments
Not card games, dice rolls and sports gambling
I wanna be associated wit’ other successful black folks
Not a bunch o’ dumbass niggas
