When I get old 
Imma 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, Imma change the world 
And they'll finally believe me 
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 
When I get old 
Imma 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, Imma change the world 
And they'll finally believe me (hey) 
My grandpa told me one day 
I'll be everything and more 
It's better never to question every lesson that's in store 
See it's a blessin 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 commin 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 
When I get old 
Imma 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, Imma change the world 
And they'll finally believe me
