Zalea - Wanna Be Lyrics

I wanna be, I need to be, they’re watching me
Young prodigy, black excellence they all agree success is calling me
I’m off a bean, and on the scene
Just wanna be
The one that they all wanna be
I been knowin who the fuck that I am
Just understand, I turned 7 felt the world was in my hands
I can’t explain it
Knew my purpose was entertainment
Always fascinated by lights and the people we call famous
I’m not okay with all the jobs that don’t make up my payments
Push my pen point to my paper till I’m laying in the caymans with my baby burning backwoods
Burn that good good
Higher than a kite just like we should should
So now I’m dropping out of school and rapping acting hella cool
Keep vocal weapons as my tools
Merking mortals in bloody pools
So sorry you’re a sacrifice
Apologies for not playing nice
I been up too many sleepless nights
To create the craft and save a life
Now I wanna be, I need to be, they’re watching me
Young prodigy, black excellence they all agree success is calling me
I’m off a bean, and on the scene
Just wanna be
The one that they all wanna be
Coming in like Drake, dropped the act to run a stage
I’m a different level different page
Wit the gang we all the rage
I believe in destiny and that fate is calling me
I need that energy, momma feeding me collard greens
Rice and beans all in my belly
Labels calling on the telly
I demand respect like Fonzarelli
So cut the beef, get in the deli
Pull the pork, before I go and pull the plug
I didn’t wanna be a bitch, so I fucked around with thugs
I got some gangsters in my blood and I don’t really show them love
So before the snakes start coming out you know I gotta get it done
This shit ain’t just for fun
I think that I’m the chosen one
I don’t fuck with all the gods
But my visions on the sun
Now I wanna be, I need to be, they’re watching me
Young prodigy, black excellence they all agree success is calling me
I’m off a bean, and on the scene
Just wanna be
The one that they all wanna be

I wanna be, I need to be, they’re watching me
Young prodigy, black excellence they all agree success is calling me
I’m off a bean, and on the scene
Just wanna be
The one that they all wanna be
I been knowin who the fuck that I am
Just understand, I turned 7 felt the world was in my hands
I can’t explain it
Knew my purpose was entertainment
Always fascinated by lights and the people we call famous
I’m not okay with all the jobs that don’t make up my payments
Push my pen point to my paper till I’m laying in the caymans with my baby burning backwoods
Burn that good good
Higher than a kite just like we should should
So now I’m dropping out of school and rapping acting hella cool
Keep vocal weapons as my tools
Merking mortals in bloody pools
So sorry you’re a sacrifice
Apologies for not playing nice
I been up too many sleepless nights
To create the craft and save a life
Now I wanna be, I need to be, they’re watching me
Young prodigy, black excellence they all agree success is calling me
I’m off a bean, and on the scene
Just wanna be
The one that they all wanna be
