Lyrics to Fireflies

[Intro]

Get away

Get away

Get away

Get away



[Verse 1]

Ancestors' blood, there's iron in the clay

We trauma bond, survivor's pain

Felt our way through the dark where I was raised

Right moves made you smart where I was raised



[Chorus]

Summertime fireflies light up what lays in the streets, ee

We were raised to walk by

Just mind your business so we get away

Get away



[Verse 2]

The projects mean process where I was raised

Ain't no gettin' out, they're designed to stay

Where the markets ain't super, process on your plate

Then they process you for jail

Funeral processions don't trust the process, I'm telling you



[Chorus]

Summertime fireflies light up what lays in the streets, ee

We were raised to walk by

Just mind your business so we

(Get away, get away, get away) Yes, get away

(Get away, get away, get away) Whoa-oh, get away

(Get away, get away, get away) Whoa-oh, get away

(Get away, get away, get away)



[Bridge]

I, I'm a candle in the dark

And I come from a divine spark

And I'm my ancestors' thoughts

And their wildest dreams, their wildest dreams

And I finish anything that I start

And I, and I hockey-stick every chart

And I know it's hard for them to handle that part

But here we are, look at me, look at me, I'm 'bout to (Get away-ay-ay)



[Verse 3]

Right outside your door where I was raised

They would go to war where I was raised

Ain't no ten-, five-, one-year plan where I was raised

'Cause a random back-and-forth, you could die that day



[Chorus]

Where the summertime fireflies light up what lays in the streets, ee

We were raised to walk by

Just mind your business so we, whoa-oh

Get away
