Now when they see us in the streets
All they wanna do is take pics
And I'm like, okay
[C#] When [Em] they hear us on the beat
All they wanna do is make kicks
And I'm like, okay
[F#]
[Em] And if you're feeling out, you're feeling out
The world should be perfectly
A fire like [F#] a third [Em] degree
And suddenly, suddenly we [A] got so high
[F#m]
[Em] Firefly
Skateboarding down at Washington Square
Looking for quarters, maybe a quarter [F#] for lunch or [Em] dinner
I'm so broke, man, scholarship apologin'
Facebook messages [G] from college kids [Em] who hollering
Girls like, we love you, we go to LSU
You gotta do a show so we [F#] can come and [Em] molest you
This rap stuff is magic
[A] I used to get Carl, Oreo, [F#] and faggot
[Em] I used to get more laughs when I got laughed at
Oh, you got a mixtape?
That's [F#m] fantastic
[Em] But everybody thought it was jokes though
They half right, the joke is I got glow
So [G] don't act like [Em] you ain't sitting there with your friends
Like it can't be
I'm so broke, man, scholarship apologin'
I know Donald Glover, he weak, man, [F#] he can't be
[Em] I'm still not down, but I up the ante
[A] Me and hip-hop, that black [F#] city now
When [Em] the streets are streets
All they wanna do is take hits
And I'm like, okay, [F#] yeah
When [Em] they force on the feet
All they wanna do is make hits
And I'm like, okay, [F#] yeah, [Em] okay
And if you're feeling out, you're feeling out
The world should be perfectly
A fire like [F#] a third [Em] degree
And suddenly, suddenly we [A] got so high
Firefly, [F#] [Em] firefly
It's hard to make hold of the footsteps you're following
Especially when [F#] your niggas look [Em] like Carlton
The pretty girls using skin so soft
Only be liking black dudes with [F#] their hats [Em] broke off
Niggas, you act too soft
Fuck you, I'm from the projects
My mama's just working to [F#] give me [Em] options
No live shows, cause I can't find sponsors
[A] For the only black kid at a Suvion [F#] concert
[Em] Yeah, so, what you gonna do, man?
You don't speak to the hood, man
If I was given [G] one chance, I [Em] think I could, man
These black kids want something new, I swear it
Something they wanna say but [F#m] couldn't
Cause [Em] they embarrassed
All I do is make the stuff I woulda liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference [F#] girls I wanna [Em] bite
Now I'm firefly [A] like a burning kite
And you's a [F#] fake fuck, [Em] like a fleshlight
Even dudes who like me straight looking at me crazy
Like, how the hell you dropping [F#] E.P. and [Em] meet Jay-Z
Girls who used to tell me I ain't cool enough
Now text me pics saying you [F#] can tear [Em] this up
I don't really like shades, big rams, or jewelry
But getting time a day [G] from a model [Em] is new to me
Being me isn't as hard as [A] it used to be
Now everyone sing the chorus, [F#] man, you do it [Em] so beautifully
When I'm on the streets, all they wanna do is take pics
And I'm like, okay, [F#] yeah, [Em] okay
