Lyrics
Intro: Miles Minnick
Hey, hey
Gon' boost it up, boost it up
Hey, hey
Gon' boost it up, boost it up
Hey, hey, hey
Gon' boost it up, boost it up
Chorus: Miles Minnick
Why would I stress
Why would I act like I'm not blessed
Nah, why would I
Why would I stress
Why would I act like I'm not blessed, bruh
I'ma just boost it up
Boost it up
Boost it up
Boost it up
Wah, wah, wah, wah
You should know we goin' d-u-u-mb
Verse 1: Miles Minnick
All them demons getting nervous when we come around
If I move into your city, I'ma shut it down
Christlike when I write, ain't gon' dumb it down
We makin' mainstream impact from the underground
Yeah, who gon' say something
Who gon' try to play with my God like it's nothing
Who gon' say (Who gon' say)
Who gon' say something
Light up the way when we turn at your function
You gotta ask downtown L.A. how we turn that thing up
With that line 'round that block, helicopters is up
You know Glofest is up when they protestin' us
But if God told me go, there ain't no stressing us
We in the big league, God put me on 'cause He can trust me
Trust me, I did not make it this far with just me
I'm not fittin' in with the industry, better not touch me
'Bout my Father's business, lieutenant inside a company
Chorus: Miles Minnick & EGR
Why would I stress
Why would I act like I'm not blessed
Nah, why would I
Why would I stress
Why would I act like I'm not blessed, bruh
I'ma just boost it up
Boost it up
Boost it up
Boost it up
Wah, wah, wah, wah
You should know we goin' d-u-u-mb (look, look, it's EG)
Verse 2: EGR
Miles hit me up

Meaning & Inspiration
"Firecracker," from Josh Turner's 2007 album *Everything Is Fine*, is a powerful testament to the transformative grace of God, presented not as a fiery, explosive spectacle, but as a quiet, persistent light that dispels darkness. While the title might suggest a sudden, dazzling event, Turner masterfully weaves a narrative of profound spiritual awakening, likening the impact of divine intervention to the gentle yet undeniable presence of a lit match in the night. The song's core message resonates deeply with the biblical understanding of how God's love operates: not always with thunderous pronouncements, but often through a subtle yet absolute alteration of our inner landscape. This is beautifully echoed in 1 Kings 19:11-13, where the prophet Elijah encounters God not in the wind, earthquake, or fire, but in a "still, small voice." Similarly, "Firecracker" speaks to the realization that true change comes from an inner ignition, a divine spark that recalibrates our perspective and reorients our very being. The song encourages us to recognize that just as a single spark can illuminate a vast darkness, so too can God’s presence, even when seemingly small, bring about a complete renewal of our lives, aligning with the concept presented in 2 Corinthians 4:6: "For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made his light shine in our hearts to give us the radiance of the knowledge of God in the face of Christ." Turner's delivery imbues the lyrics with a quiet confidence, urging listeners to look for that inner illumination that signals a life set aflame with purpose and divine direction, a theme that mirrors the encouragement in Romans 12:11 to "never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord," and reminds us that the "firecracker" is not an external event to be watched, but an internal state to be lived.
