Whoo WOOO
Whoo WOOO
[Hook]
Where my owls at
N where my gals at
N to the fellas, where my pounds at
I know you found that
Nakturnal's about that
Seeing through the darkness
Now let me get a soul clap (2x)
And let me hear you say
Whoo WOOO
Whoo WOOO
All day
[Verse 1]
Who are you, how do you do
Come on here, sit down, grab a brew, join my crew
I'm hoping you don't think that I am preachy or pompous
I can promise you my intention was the opposite
Cause see I don't have much time to be talkin bout partyin, or drinkin wine
‘Stead I'll tell you how I lost my mind n
Then I got it back, with a soul clap and a ‘ommm'
Burn the incense, wake the drone
Dial tone, get on the phone
Spread the word, get in the zone
Cause birds of a feather can flock thru any weather
And I think it's better, if we unite the tribe n do this forever, uh
Stack a lil chedda, eat it all together
Make a new gift economy
Then forgetta bout the past, rewrite, think fast
Now put this track
On blast
[Hook]
Where my owls at
N where my gals at
N to the fellas, where my pounds at
I know you found that
Nakturnal's about that
Seeing through the darkness
Now let me get a soul clap (2x)
And let me hear you say
Whoo WOOO
Whoo WOOO
All day
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I hear the hate, decided we're Illuminati
Kinda funny and your late
Let me help you now relate
You said you ‘crazy witch' don't let um here you spit
Who do you think you are and who did you come wit
Turns out I got a whole squad
Owls on my side
The nakturnal tribe, we'd rather walk instead a ride
Feel the ground beneath our feet, we marchin in the street
Awakenin fears on blast so we could delete, complete
Put the past where it belong, we all from one home
She called gaia mother earth and the planets prone
To be unforgiving, if we don't change how we're living
In your being, what your seeing
Can be deceiving
But we're responsible for what we're streaming
Out of transmission towers that we call brains
Our electric heart, more powerful than fame
So send out love and say WhoWOOO after your name
[Hook]
Where my owls at
N where my gals at

I know you found that
Nakturnal's about that
Seeing through the darkness
Now let me get a soul clap (2x)
And let me hear you say
Whoo WOOO
Whoo WOOO
All day
[Bridge]
Where my owls at
Where my gals at
And to the fellas
Where my pounds at
I know you found that
Nakturnals about that
Seeing through the darkness
Now let me get a soul clap
[Hook 2x]
Where my owls at
N where my gals at
N to the fellas, where my pounds at
I know you found that
Nakturnal's about that
Seeing through the darkness
Now let me get a soul clap (2x)
And let me hear you say
