Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a parrot
I'm robbin' this joint
[Verse 2]
Not a lyre bird, sure ain't a vulture
Don't swallow that cause I make the culture
I'm not a lyre bird
I'm not a lyre bird
Stayin, stayin' rich like on ostrich
[Verse 3]
Lovin' albatross, hangin' 'round a neck
Drinkin' sparrow, love is food you can peck
Good and turkey, swift like a rail
Can't pigeon hole, I'm epic like Zeus tail
[Verse 4]
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
[Verse 5]
Doves cry, are you goin' home alone?
Squad flock migrate for the summer
Duck out for, for some hot weather
Birds of prey, angry shakin' off their feather
See the water fowl swing on a creeper
Starling dictatin' love on my speaker
Hot flamingo, bird emoji, oh
Monogamous like a swan, goin' with the flow
[Verse 6]
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
[Verse 7]
Watch the sky, watch the sky, watch the
(Keep watchin')
Watch the sky, watch the sky, watch, watch
Watch the sky, watch the sky, watch
(Keep watchin')
Watch the sky, watch the sky, watch, watch
[Verse 8]
Is that a crow on a crane?
Is that you or a plane?
Where's your chicken at?  I'm watchin' like a hawk
Eh? I need more birds
Got me like a seagull
Got me like a
Got me like a seagull
Got me, got me
Got me like a seagull
I'm cuckoo for you, let's talk
[Verse 9]
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
Stayin, stayin' rich like on ostrich
[Verse 10]
Drop down, get your eagle on
Drop down, drop down like a falcon
Drop down, get your eagle on
Drop down, drop down, get your eagle on
Drop down, get your eagle on
Drop down, drop down like a falcon
Drop down, the phenomenon
Hummin' higher than a drone
Free up my love
