about

Like a chrysalis transforming into a butterfly, this song is a poetic expression of being awakened from sleep and realizing one’s passion.

lyrics

Low key
I been feeling me Ever better
To the letter LMNOP
P for pay me
Pay me pretty
Pay me plenty, please
Iʼve been thrifty
But Iʼd like to buy Fenty
My taste is all over the place
Brooklyn LA Tokyo, Iʼm all over the place catching flights In my butterfly phase
You should see me now
I think Iʼve found my calling
(Calling, Calling) Now they be calling Calling me, now calling
(Calling, Calling)
I think my calling is calling me Nao calling (Calling, Calling)
Yeah, they be calling, now
Calling
(Calling, Calling)
I think my calling is calling me Nao
Thought I threw away my ego I recycled it Repurposed, refocused
Revived
And oooh, I am who
I always wanted to be (Can you hear me, now?) Whoa now, I ainʼt nobodyʼs fool (Iʼm a)
Little bit new
Little bit old school
Iʼm allota cool things
And Iʼm hotter than you
How you like me, now?
Now that Iʼve found found my calling
(Calling, Calling) Now they be calling Calling me, now calling
(Calling, Calling)
I think my calling is calling me Nao calling (Calling, Calling)
Yeah, they be calling, now Calling
(Calling, Calling)
I think my calling is calling me Nao
(Calling, Calling) Now they be calling Calling me, now calling
(Calling, Calling)
I think my calling is calling me Nao calling (Calling, Calling)
Yeah, they be calling, now
Calling
(Calling, Calling)
I think my calling is calling me Nao
