Wildfire
Andrew Huang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Paid to rock stages off beaten paths, made a lot
Keep it ash hot, we can pass beta pop
Underground with the kids who like to datamosh
Shake a boss, charge with the leaning of favela hop
Now seapunk and off glitch
Guess that's too many cooks in the kitsch
More lines stamped than the books of the rich
And i shine too bright, you keep looking for the switch
Got a technical itch, and metaphorical trigger
Bottomless abyss, this endless supply of vigor
And it's on all the time, this is poetry in motion
Reaching you with fibre optic cable in the ocean
Travel like satellite, grab a mic shatter nights
Out of sight, chatter might damage all these acolytes
Accolades mean nothing from the wrong tongues
I'm elevating up higher with every song sung

I'm a wildfire
Still shining bright, i burn it down
I've got the light, can't put me out

Hotter than a meteor that's hitting on the equator
It's d-day, we're moving like speedracers
I'm blowing up, man, i leave craters
Getting more cheddar than a cheese grater
I'm in the place to be like it's green acres
You wanna battle me but i'm a peacemaker
Spoonfeeding you hotness since i was a teenager
Wrecking all your silverware - freebaser
I've got the kore style, duplicated
Amplified, amputated
You can't erase it, like the computer made it
Mind of it's own
Exacerbated by the practice
Artificial irrelevance runs crashless
Blazing arrow, i hit the target like katniss
Tracklist of wax on the axis
Dreams are rich because there's money in the mattress

Wildfire
Still shining bright, i burn it down
I've got the light, can't put me out

Dripping swagu
I'm over it
Guess you'd say i'm past a sauce
Ragu
So legit
That's true
Tracking on my macintosh
Keys like rachmaninov
Heads like gadzooks
Please could you back it off
That's the snafu i'm always hitting like a boxer
Have to
Always inking like a tattoo
Pull these rap truths out and don a notepad
Looking like a full sleeve, proper
I write 'til it's right, write 'til it's tight
Write 'til it's light, make these tracks in a night
And it's likely i might make it too cerebral
I'm more than just a party jam to boost your ego
I launch like a rocket might, blowing out the sockets when i got it
I think you know the way i drop it like

Wildfire




Still shining bright, i burn it down
I've got the light, can't put me out
