[Childish Gambino & Janet Leon]
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´ how I´m feelin´
How the world should be: perfectly
Fire like I´m third degree, and suddenly
Shawty, we got so high
Firefly

Skateboardin´ down at Washington Square
Lookin´ for quarters
Maybe afford a falafel for dinner, uh
I´m so broke man, scholarship apologin´
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 "faggot"

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 campy
I´m still knocked down, but I up the ante
Me and hip-hop, that black Sid and Nancy, let ´em know

It´s hard to make Hov the footsteps you followin´
Especially when your niggas look like Carlton
The pretty girls usin´ skin so soft
Only be likin´ black dudes with their hats broke off
Nigga, you act too soft
Fuck 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 don´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 would´ve liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I´m firefly like a burning kite
And you´s a fake fuck 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
