Fire Fly

Now when they see us in the streets

All they wanna do is take pics

And I'm like, okay

And when they hear us on the beat

All they wanna do is make hits

And I'm like, okay

Okay

And if you're feelin' how I'm feelin'

Now the world should be

Perfectly, a fire like I'm third degree

And suddenly, shorty we got so high

Fire fly

Skateboardin' down at Washington Square

Lookin' for quarters, maybe afford a falafel for dinner

Uh, I'm so broke man, scholarship apologist

Facebook messages from college kids who hollerin'

Girls like, we love you, we go to LSU

You gotta do a show so we can come and molest you

This rap stuff is magic

I used to get called Oreo and faggot

I used to get more laughs when I got laughed at

Oh, you got a mixed tape, that's fantastic

But everybody thought it was jokes, though

They half right, the joke is

I got flow, so, don't act like

You ain't sittin' there with your friends

Like, it can't be

I know Donald Glover, he weak, man

He can't be, I'm still not down

But I upped the ante

Me and hip hop, that black Sid and Nancy

Let 'em know

Now when they see us in the streets

All they wanna do is take pics

And I'm like, okay

And when they hear us on the beat

All they wanna do is make hits

And I'm like, okay

Okay

And if you're feelin' how I'm feelin'

Now the world should be

Perfectly, a fire like I'm third degree

And suddenly, shorty we got so high

Fire fly

It's hard to make home the footsteps you're followin'

Especially when your **** look like Carlton

The pretty girls usin' Skin So Soft

Only be likin' black dudes with they hats broke off

****, you act too soft

Fuck you, I'm from the projects

My mom was just workin' to give me options

No live shows, 'cause I can't find sponsors

For the only black kid at a Sufjan concert

Yeah so, what you gon' do man, you don't speak to the hood, man

If I was given one chance, I think I could, man

These black kids want somethin' new, I swear it

Somethin' they wanna say, but couldn't 'cause they embarrassed

All I do is make the stuff I woulda liked

Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite

Now I'm fire fly, like a burning kite

And you's a fake fuck, like a Fleshlight

Even dudes who like me straight lookin' at me crazy

Like, how the hell you drop a EP and meet Jay-Z

Girls who used to tell me I ain't cool enough

Now text me pics sayin' you can tear this up

I don't really like shades, big rims, and jewelry

But gettin' time of day from a model is new to me

Being me isn't as hard as it used to be

Now everyone sing the chorus, you do it so beautifully

Now when they see us in the streets

All they wanna do is take pics

And I'm like, okay

And when they hear us on the beat

All they wanna do is make hits

And I'm like, okay

Okay

And if you're feelin' how I'm feelin'

Now the world should be

Perfectly, a fire like I'm third degree

And suddenly, shorty we got so high

Fire fly

Now when they see us in the streets

All they wanna do is take pics

And I'm like, okay

And when they hear us on the beat

All they wanna do is make hits

And I'm like, okay

Okay

And if you're feelin' how I'm feelin'

Now the world should be

Perfectly, a fire like I'm third degree

And suddenly, shorty we got so high
