Lyrics

[00:00.48]
[00:01.03] Now when they see us on the streets
[00:01.76] All they wanna do is take pics
[00:03.88] And I'm like, okay (yeah, okay)
[00:05.34] And when they hear us on the beat
[00:07.01] All they wanna do is make hits
[00:08.90] And I'm like, okay (yeah, okay)
[00:11.53] And if you're feelin' how I'm feelin'
[00:13.53] How the world should be: perfectly
[00:15.37] Fire like I’m third degree, and suddenly
[00:18.26] Shawty, we got so high
[00:20.53] Firefly
[00:23.69] Skateboardin' down at Washington Square
[00:25.29] Lookin' for quarters
[00:26.44] Maybe afford a falafel for dinner, ugh
[00:28.13] I’m so broke man, scholarship apologin'
[00:30.98] Facebook messages from college kids who hollerin'
[00:33.83] Girls like, "we love you, we go to LSU
[00:36.36] You gotta do a show so we can come and molest you"
[00:38.92] This rap stuff is magic
[00:41.19] I used to get called "Oreo" and "Faggot"
[00:43.82] I used to get more laughs when I got laughed at
[00:46.46] Oh you got a mixtape? That's fantastic
[00:49.35] But everybody thought it was jokes though
[00:51.46] They half right, the joke is
[00:52.86] I got flow so don't act like
[00:55.01] You ain't sittin' there with your friends like, it can't be
[00:57.75] I know Donald Glover, he weak man, he campy
[01:00.19] I'm still knocked down, but I up the ante
[01:02.84] Me and hip-hop, that black Sid and Nancy
[01:05.45] Now when they see us on the streets
[01:07.25] All they wanna do is take pics
[01:08.94] And I'm like, okay (yeah, okay)
[01:11.64] And when they hear us on the beat
[01:12.88] All they wanna do is make hits
[01:14.58] And I'm like, okay (yeah, okay)
[01:17.95] And if you're feelin' how I'm feelin'
[01:19.25] How the world should be: perfectly
[01:21.15] Fire like I’m third degree, and suddenly
[01:22.65] Shawty, we got so high
[01:26.75] Firefly
[01:29.30] It's hard to make Hov the footsteps you followin'
[01:31.15] Especially when your niggas look like Carlton
[01:33.98] The pretty girls usin' skin so soft
[01:36.33] Only be likin' black dudes with their hats broke off
[01:38.92] Nigga you act too soft
[01:40.42] Fuck you! I'm from the projects
[01:42.22] My mom was just workin' to give me options
[01:43.88] No live shows, cause I can't find sponsors
[01:46.73] For the only black kid at a Sufjan concert
[01:49.08] "Yeah so, whatcha gonna do man?
[01:51.43] You won't speak to the hood, man"
[01:53.18] If I was given one chance I think I could, man
[01:55.82] These black kids want somethin' new, I swear it
[01:58.27] Somethin' they wanna say
[02:00.43] But couldn't cause they embarrassed
[02:01.62] All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
[02:03.83] Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
[02:06.58] Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
[02:10.47] And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight
[02:13.22] Even dudes who like me straight lookin' at me crazy
[02:15.22] Like, how the hell he drop a EP and meet Jay-Z?
[02:18.31] Girls used to tell me I ain't cool enough
[02:20.42] Now text me pics sayin', "You could tear this up"
[02:23.46] I don't really like shades, big rims, or jewelry
[02:26.36] But gettin' time of day from a model is new to me
[02:29.11] Bein' me isn't as hard as it used to be
[02:31.66] Now everyone sing the chorus man,
[02:33.54] You do it so beautifully
[02:34.78] Now when they see us on the streets
[02:36.04] All they wanna do is take pics
[02:37.00] And I'm like, okay (yeah, okay)
[02:38.94] And when they hear us on the beat
[02:40.76] All they wanna do is make hits
[02:42.82] And I'm like, okay (yeah, okay)
[02:45.32] And if you're feelin' how I'm feelin'
[02:46.81] How the world should be: perfectly
[02:48.92] Fire like I’m third degree, and suddenly
[02:51.79] Shawty, we got so high
[02:54.01] Firefly
[02:56.57] Now when they see us on the streets

[03:02.64] All they wanna do is make hits
[03:04.72] And I'm like, okay (yeah, okay)
[03:06.72] And if you're feelin' how I'm feelin'
[03:09.02] How the world should be: perfectly
[03:10.81] Fire like I’m third degree, and suddenly
[03:13.67] Shawty, we got so high
