[Verse 1] Yo, bear my black underbelly to the wind I got an itch I can't scratch between my thorax and my abdomen Lit my tail end with the fire to give us purpose But I'm cursed by this short circuit below the surface Nervous when I glow cause I always go dim Like the breath of a torch light suffocating without oxygen Wanna burn bright so the kids can catch a spark Illuminate the space between grace and broken hearts Inspire the human race to chase something set apart The sky of firefly as I blow by to split the dark But the spark fades and the blaze burns cold Left most of the children with nothing to hold Except the grip of what they thought they had caught But came to doubt I tried to firefly but in the end just flickered out Six limbs, two wings, one vision to shine bright But my city on the hill just spilled into the night [Hook] X 2 I wanna fill the sky with fire when I fly Higher than the heavens just a twinkle in your eye I walk the tight wire just to serve my own desire I tried to firefly but in the end just flickered out [Verse 2] Escape the thin pocket of air beneath my Nikes Might the night flicker bright to the beat of my wing flight Or it might just not fall off the blown spot Cat walk in the dark to the down beat To the uprock quick to the don't stop Talk love but spit hate Don't do what I wanna do with every move I make Cause I shake with my left and I take what I write Speak life with my lips but then diss on the Mic I'm swift to be angry but then I'm slow to be quiet The trouble with the puddle of my life is double sided So I struggle to keep the purpose of the lamp of my life lighted Keep this lightening bug plugged with the Christ till I'm like-minded Till I burn with the fire than inspires the world-wided And glide upon the spark of the sun till dark's blinded And dart till dawn upon the lawn to be reminded That our faith isn't gone but sometimes we can't find it [Hook] X 3
