CHILDISH GAMBINO lyrics : "Fire Fly"


[hook]
now when they see us on the streets

all they wanna do is take pics
and i'm like, okay (yeah, okay)
and when they hear us on the beat

all they wanna do is make hits
and i'm like, okay (yeah, okay)
and if you're feelin' like i'm feelin'

how the world should be: perfectly
fire like i'm third degree, and suddenly
shawty, we got so high

fire fly
[verse 1]
skateboardin' down at washington square

lookin' for quarters
maybe a afford a falafel for dinner, ugh
i'm so broke man

scholarship apology
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 “!@$)got”

i used to get more laughs when i got laughed at
oh you got a mixtape? 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 knocked down, but i up the ante
me and hip-hop, that black sid and nancy


[hook]
[verse 2]

it's hard to make hov the footsteps you followin'
especially when your ^!$$%s look like carlton
the pretty girls usin' skin so soft

only be likin' black dudes with their hats broke off
man you act too soft
$#&@ 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, whatcha gonna do man?
you won'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 wanna write

reference shows i wanna watch, reference girls i wanna bite
now i'm firefly like a burning kite
and yousa fake $#&@ like a fleshlight

even dudes who like me straight lookin' at me crazy
like, how the hell he drop a ep and meet jay-z?
girls used to tell me i ain't cool enough

now text me pics sayin', “you could tear this up”
i don't really like shades, big rims, or jewelry
but gettin' time of day from a model is new to me

bein' me isn't as hard as it used to be
now everyone sing the chorus man, you do it so beautifully
[hook x2]
