Verse 1 (Zavion):

This what I'm leaving today

Feels like leaving a wake

This is new for me

It's hard for me to be happy when I look through my years

I can barely hold the tears pissed and mad that I can't be glad

I feel like trash

Like I'm abandoning everything I had

Like I'm leaving my family in the past after the life they craft

I'm ready to walk away to outlast

I wanna grow out like grass but the heats' been beaming my ass for so many summers

I want them to move up but I hate to think of all the years I haven't thought of till items are pulled out the closet that are idle

Like memoirs of a younger me

Like, remember me?

9-year-old z?

That'd play chess with himself, so lonely

That'd play diddy racing, no mercy

Remember when id create a fake war with Batman toys?

Remember on punishment thinking its a joy, cuz' on the list wasn't toys?

Breaking system controllers

Had every system you know of, not really

Just the ones afforded but my time it hoarded

Said it'd make me a corpse but of course a reinforcement of positivity

Back then light bugs could hold infinity

They could fly unlike me on suburb streets

Now I'm in Georgia and they're rarely seen at least by me

Alone we'll be watching light bugs fly freely

Fly freely

Fly freely

(Just let the beat rock)

Verse 2 (Zavion):

I look at my moments to relive my focus

When I was fluid in motions

When my thoughts

Though naught

Gave me my promotions

I don't gloat this

Know Midas

From the poise and not poison

Calling me boy

Can relocate yo' chin

To a universe

Rick n Morty's in

My coarse yet porous skin

Can absorb the harshest pen

Whats a sword to a mind that's a weapon

Corny right (right)?

But what was loaded in my pen?

Murder ink (yeah)

And between me and you

I got a Millian reasons

Yall won't be Ja rule

Look at me thinking I'm battling

Light bugs would shed light

On my melanin

But in Georgia

I seem to just wanna pretend

Even though I know everyone's a fake friend

I have close ones that won't ever bend or pretend

Because I didn't get the win

That's Matthew LaMarcus jack Jerica Haley and light bugs in the wind

Verse 3 (Jiggy2k):

Suffocating light bugs just to see the light

I had some trust issues so I never freed them

I just

Watched them bang against the glass

Like me in the heat of night

I think I’m off balance I just need to equalize

The weight of the jar in my left hand

And that heap in the right

That I call me when it’s all me

And the season’s right

Heaping the world on my shoulders

Atlas was no bitch

They just keep hurling down boulders

I’m just below the ridge

See I already fell

Cause I’d already plateaued

Cause there some laws to this

Well, there are some flaws that hold

I’m tryna catch a light bug

From falling in a black hole

But I’m slipping my self

And I just don’t have a hold

Grab a hold

Of a light bug

I did but I squeezed too hard

Lack a soul

For the ride up

Like I don’t know what bereavements are

Tactical

When I’m mic’d up

Cause they won’t always leave me a part

Rabbit hole

Use my life up

Sabbatical’s just to write nothing

Attitude on fight nothing

Attitude on find something

Attitude on I’m done with it

Sad to lose but I stomach it

Fat to lose not really any

I fumbling any semblance of crumbs

To be nibbling

I’m stumbling from hunger

And I just

Start suffocating light bugs just to feel alright

We’re all really stuck in jars and breathing

Fighting for more air but they ain’t poke holes in the ceiling right

It is what it is it ain’t no shit

We’re just light bugs

You know? the same old shit

Break the glass if you want

That’ll just obscure the view

I’m sure it’s you

When that faint cold shifts

Verse 4 (Zavion):

If I could rewind my time

And control my life

With the knowledge of 21 at 9

Id make time to give roses

While they hear

Not on the casket

Like they often rose

Wake up

And catch em

It don't work that way

I'm certain

I'm certain to crawl from the same pitfalls

But nothing's certain

Till I start working

Till I stop chirping

Searching for an easy convenience

Fall in patterns

The need for sequence

Its the human in me

I don't blame nothing on nobody

Other than myself

I could've prevented this

Now I'm into it

And it's not secretive

And I see the shit

That imma go through

But as long as light bugs

Shine through like light bulbs

The dark roaches will be seen too

So i'll be fine

Drinking my water

Cuz of sunshine (uh)

I'll be fine

Drinking my water

Cuz of sunshine

Cuz we out of freezer pops

Like old times

And cuz we out of freezer pops

Like old times
