[Chorus]

In 10-7 years 10-7 years 10-7 years I'll be older

10-7 years 10-7 years 10-7 years I'll be older

In 10-7 years 10-7 years 10-7 years I'll be 30, I am 13

[V1]

Only 13 I told you now

Teenager now treated like a kid

But much more with large plans

That don't include both mom or dad

Or grandparents to be a

Writer rapper songwriter actor laugher

2 dogs 5 snakes no place for pets here

but my imagination is home to

an animal farm, fake world/real world

with all the crappy politics

brain buzzin' all the time keepin' me active

can't. stop. singin'. now.

Rippin' my heart out onstage much

More than I would at counseling

Or home to match/I've got a temper

Like hell but no record to match

I've got scars on my soul but no

Bruises that show for it (for it)

Only 13 I told you now

But what does that mean

I've got strugglin' parents and self-

Help books 5 stories tall 's a good

Thing they planned for this (for this)

I'm assumin' I'll end up in jail with the rest

Of those stereotypical teenage delinquents

I'm assumin' I'll end up in Stanford with the rest

Of those stereotypical teenage geniuses

I've got 5 more years to suffer till I'm outa th' house

But nothin' ends there, no, it's just begun

I got uni and jobs and voting and boyfriends

And what I'll really need is a break from

All the commotion and that's never gonna happen

Let's hope by 30 I'll be somethin' that I'm proud of

Hope by 30 that I'm the woman you've always wanted

—or not, I can handle that—

but 30 is a long time to wait for

lookin' like I'll have to wait that long tho

to mature and me smarter

and get in touch with my generation

I'll have t' be 30 not 13

[[Chorus]]

[V2]

I can envision a future

Parties movies albums boys drinkin' all the liquor store

Rappin' till day's end living the highlife Hollywood nightmare

Doin' it the done rich way

But the Hollywood way's never worked out for anybody

Maybe first but never works out in the end

So maybe I'll donate to charity live in a flat

Or in a mobile home in the middle of nowhere

Get my parents a home in Hawaii that sounds better

Or I won't get rich at all fine by me I'll be common

I'll fawn over movie stars I'll go to ComicCon/DragonCon

I'll surf the web I'll do my school I'll GROW UP

The endgame is getting older

Responsibility life love happiness

Perfect world international, tm, hah!

Learn to act against the horrors of reality

Save lives fight a revolution

I'm cool with that

I'll show I'm responsible and trustworthy

Even if I don't trust anyone now

If Hitler comes back I'll be ready against

His pidly WWII weps with my bazooka

All figurative! But no one sees my

Responsibility so I'll have to be older

30 not 13

[[Chorus]]

[V3/Outro]

This has been quite an educational

Rap song but I've gotta wrap it up

Now so I've got to grow older in a jiffy

But that will take 17 years; 10-7 years

To do an' there's no speed boost to

Get you thru—not that I thought

There was one in the first place

I wanna grow up

10-7 years

I wanna grow up

10-7 years

I wanna grow up

10-7 YEARS!
