Fireflies (feat. John Legend)

Get away
Get away
Get away
Get away

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

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

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

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)

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)

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

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
