​fauna

[Intro]
I'm just looking for my purpose
I don't really wanna go and waste my time
On the surface, I'm sure I look happy, don't I feel so fine
Got a mask on, gotta blast off, I say back y'all
Slack-jawed when I strap off, I'm an actor

[Verse 1]
Gazing a glimpse at the inner self, you
Can't sell me back all the innocence, no
Wassup, wassup, it's the real me, hi
I see the loud in the green of your eyes
I see the diamond all buried in coal
I see the glimmer down deep in your soul, oh
You could be gold, please just work on it 'til you reach the goal
I heard a rumor (what?)
Don't know if it's true but (what?)
I heard that they run with shooters (what?)
Yeah, for real, didn't think they could be cooler
I started out as a hooper, aye I did
I flip the pages of Scripture
Blink and I'm taking a picture, yeah huh
I'm tryna see the vision, I'm thinking different
While more of the same, me and you are more of the same, too
Prayed for a blessing to come, and the Man really sent me an angel
You don't wear a halo, but you have the brightest smile
That I have ever seen, one grin'll turn me blind

[Chorus]
I thank God that He's an artist, yeah
'Cause you're the prettiest thing on display-ay-ay-ay
The stars coming out for you, girl, see you shine bright, all night

[Verse 2]
I done a lot, I spent a lot of my time worrying, I don't feel fine
Blink and you miss it, blessings do form from your wishes
You know I'm proud to be Christian, aye, yeah yeah
I'm not from Dhaka, but I'll bang ya speakers
Say less, like de nada, yeah yeah
Je suis un artiste d'abord, tout le reste deuxième, yeah yeah
I bring the yellow to pass, I got barriers to smash, whoa
I got the God of the universe with me
I come from the Alps, I'm so cold, huh
Aye, fauna

[Bridge]
I just wanna lay in the grass, yeah yeah
Forest fauna galloping past, yeah yeah
Make another memory down, yeah yeah
Tuning out the world around, yeah yeah

[Verse 3]
This that joint you listen to when no one else believes in you, huh
I see the work, He made you perfect to prosper and flourish
Nah, like really, you got your fam, don't be silly
He set you freer than Willy
Don't pay no mind to the clowns that be snatching your time
You know they really from Picadilly
They pick and choose, people would like you to lose
That's just a gear in the grind, hey
I wanna free up my mindspace
I wanna feel that you mine, babe
I wanna see all the lights, ay
If I don't be building my house on the Rock, gotta stop
'Cause I know I won't shine, ay
I gotta look to the Vine, yeah yeah
