I wrote FAB right before the pandemic in a desert-fire-season fever dream. My grumpy, disturbed neighbor liked hearing the tune being written so much that when he found out it was Natti’s, he permanently stopped being a jerk. Natti hopes the song has the same effect on all your neighbors this summer. May all beings be free ass bitches.
lyrics
FAB
You see I’ve never felts this pretty in my life
I’m just trying to keep from breaking hearts in the
night
Low-key in the back of my mind I see you, Oliver,
reading me a book in your arms as I’m falling asleep
I kiss a new boy everyday at least
My body is electric and it’s frankly embarrassing
My mind is powerful but it cannot count any sheep
Or on anyone else it would seem though I hate to say it
I know you feel me
So hand me the bottle babe
I want to be the one that you sip on instead
Of making stories up
Hey
I know he hurt you
But don’t feel guilty for being a Free. Ass. Bitch.
Hey, hand me your bottle babe
Want you to be the one that I put in my head
Instead of all these stories
Hey
You know he hurt me
I don’t feel guilty for being a Free. Ass. Bitch.
You see I’ve never felt so hollow in my life
They say you cannot get it wrong but something isn’t
right
I never settle, just stay loose in the saddle
It’s desert fire season in my land and in my heart
Can you put it out for me now?
I know it’s hard to believe that love will come to you
after all that happened
Trust me you’ll know it when you feel it
Til then, keep working it
