## Lyrics

* Final
* Demo

**[Verse 1]**

Rarity I am, it's offensive

Got them on my tail and their restless

Yearning to bottle up my sentient transpose

Glowing green like heart chakras melting

Pacing out my breath so I'm tapped in

Tuned to the station so I'm listening more

**[Pre-Chorus]**

They contort me but I decide whose energy

Fits my complex puzzle piece

So wait by my door

**[Chorus]**

An emerald from the sky, from the sky

You should know that I'm polished and refined

Tumble through all the roughage

I am no accessory

A locket or display would suffice, pinky promise

You'll cherish all my sides, all my cuts and my edges

I am no accessory

**[Verse 2]**

Fertile like the great Aphrodite

Youthful shine got everyone fighting

Green like nature, green like their envious gawk

Expensive, yeah, I'm hundreds of karats

Jewelers' mouths stay open when counting

Drooling so much that they are drowning in love

**[Pre-Chorus]**

They contort me but I decide whose energy

Fits my complex puzzle piece

So wait by my door

**[Chorus]**

An emerald from the- again

OK never mind it's good okay

**[Outro]**

Mhm, mhm

Mhm, mhm

Mhm, mhm

Mhm

Mhm, mhm

Mhm, mhm

Mhm, mhm

Mhm

**[Verse 1]**

Rarity I am, it's offensive

Got them on my tail and their restless

Yearning to bottle up my sentient transpose

Glowing green like heart chakras melting

Pacing out my breath so I'm tapped in

Tuned to the station so I'm listening more

**[Pre-Chorus]**

They contort me but I decide whose energy

Fits my complex puzzle piece

So wait by my door

**[Chorus]**

An emerald from the sky, from the sky

You should know that I'm polished and refined

Tumble through all the roughage

But I am no accessory

A locket or display would suffice, pinky promise

You'll cherish all my sides, all my cuts and my edges

I am no accessory

**[Verse 2]**

Fertile like the great Aphrodite

Youthful shine got everyone fighting

Green like nature, green like their envious gawk

Expensive, yeah, I'm hundreds of karats

Jewelers' mouth stay open when counting

Drooling so much they are drowning in love

**[Pre-Chorus]**

They contort me but I decide whose energy

Fits my complex puzzle piece

So wait by my door

**[Chorus]**

An emerald from the sky, from the sky

You should know that I'm polished and refined

Tumble through all the roughage

But I am no accessory

A locket or display would suffice, pinky promise

You'll cherish all my sides, all my cuts and my edges

I am no accessory
