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 "fa**ot"
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

[verse 2]
it`s hard to make hov the footsteps you followin`
especially when your ni**as 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
f**k 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 f**k 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
