[Intro]

(You see this motherfucking face)

Blessings, blessings, yeah, I see..


[Chorus: Frank Ocean]

Elephant tusk on the bow of a sailing lady, docked on the Ivory Coast

Mercedes in a row winding down the road

I hope my black skin don't dirt this white tuxedo before the Basquiat show

And if so, well fuck it, fuck it

Because this water drown my family, this water mixed my blood

This water tells my story, this water knows it all

Go ahead and spill some champagne in the water

Go ahead and watch the sun blaze on the waves of the ocean


[Verse 1: Jay-Z]

Dope boy still smelling like cocaina

White boat, white robe, can he be more cleaner?

The oil spill that BP ain't clean up

I'm anti-Santa Maria

Only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace

I don't even like Washingtons in my pocket

Black card go hard when I'm shopping

Boat docked in front of Hermès picking cotton

Silk and fleeces, lay on my Jesus

Oh my God, I hope y'all don't get seasick

See me in shit you never saw

If it wasn't for these pictures they wouldn't see me at all

Aww, whole world's in awe

I crash through glass ceilings, I break through closed doors

I'm on the ocean, I'm in heaven

Yachting, Ocean 11


[Chorus: Frank Ocean]

Elephant tusk on the bow of a sailing lady, docked on the Ivory Coast

Mercedes in a row winding down the road

I hope my black skin don't dirt this white tuxedo before the Basquiat show

And if so, well fuck it, fuck it

Because this water drown my family, this water mixed my blood

This water tells my story, this water knows it all

Go ahead and spill some champagne in the water

Go ahead and watch the sun blaze on the waves of the ocean


[Verse 2: Jay-Z]

Me and Ty Ty is like Pablo and Popeye

Winding dirt roads on mopeds spilling Opus

Welcome to the magnum opus, the Magna Carta

The best-selling author Decoded

On the holiday playin' "Strange Fruit"

If I'ma make it to a billi, I can't take the same route

Swoosh, that's the sound of the border

Swoosh, and that's the sound of a baller

Muhammad Hovi my back against the rope

The black Maybach, I'm back inside the boat

Shepard Fairey they finally gave me some hope

Can't believe they got a nigga to vote

Democrat? Nope, I sold dope

In trouble waters I had to learn how to float

On the ocean, I'm in heaven

Yachting, Ocean 11


[Chorus: Frank Ocean]

Elephant tusk on the bow of a sailing lady, docked on the Ivory Coast

Mercedes in a row winding down the road

I hope my black skin don't dirt this white tuxedo before the Basquiat show

And if so, well fuck it, fuck it

Because this water drown my family, this water mixed my blood

This water tells my story, this water knows it all

Go ahead and spill some champagne in the water

Go ahead and watch the sun blaze on the waves of the ocean
