Yugs, Benjamin Elias - FIREWORKS Lyrics

Used to play kickball with kids at the park
Now I'm dealing with pitfalls, and swimming with sharks
Step to the light or get lost in the dark
My soul is so old, Been on the road, ever since I left Denver
Used to have bad dreams, I'd wake up with cold sweat, now I feel better ever
Things have been different
Often was drifting
Look, I gave her my heart, and she begged me don't wait
You got something special don't throw it away
Just be yourself and thats all it will take
I was wasting my days
Way too focused on hate that's the biggest mistake that I ever did make
Running and running and running in place
Humming and drumming, then strumming my bass
Turning to music to channel the pain
Turning my lemons into lemonade
Took my first sip and reflected what if
I'd gone through it alone, but my homies were there
Every step on the stairs, they gave me something to believe in
Reflecting on me and the man imma be, I can't believe I get to be him

"Thank you Buck
But I can get by on my own
The thing is, you don't have to
I'm with you to the end of the line, pal"

Yo Yugs, I remember beats that you used to send me
Stuff that you made on that little MIDI keyboard
Back on your college dormroom
And even at that time, I knew that you had a fire within you
And now that I'm listening to your album
I can truly feel that you've turned that fire into fireworks
