Oceans

Christopher Breaux, Pharrell Williams, Shawn Carter

Lyrics Translation

Blessings, blessings yeah

I see 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

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 dock in front of Hermes 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

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

Me and Ty Ty is like Pablo and Popeye

Swoosh, that's the sound of the border

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

Elephant tusk on the bow of a sailing lady

Docked on the Ivory Coast
Ancorada na Costa do Marfim
Mercedes in a row winding down the road
Mercedes em fila serpenteando pela estrada
I hope my black skin don't dirt this white tuxedo
Espero que minha pele negra não suje este smoking branco
Before the Basquiat show and if so
Antes do show de Basquiat e se sim
Well fuck it, fuck it

Go ahead and spill some champagne in the water
Vá em frente e derrame um pouco de champanhe na água
Go ahead and watch the sun blaze
Vá em frente e observe o sol brilhar
On the waves of the ocean
Nas ondas do oceano
Dope boy still smelling like cocaina
Garoto da droga ainda cheirando a cocaína
White boat, white robe
Barco branco, roupão branco
Can he be more cleaner
Ele pode ser mais limpo?
The oil spill that BP ain't clean up
O derramamento de óleo que a BP não limpou
I'm anti-Santa Maria
Eu sou contra a Santa Maria
Only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace

I don't even like Washingtons in my pocket
Eu nem gosto de Washingtons no meu bolso
Black card go hard when I'm shopping
Cartão preto vai forte quando estou comprando
Boat dock in front of Hermes picking cotton
Barco ancorado na frente da Hermes colhendo algodão
Silk and fleeces, lay on my Jesus
Seda e lã, deitado no meu Jesus
Oh my God, I hope y'all don't get seasick
Oh meu Deus, espero que vocês não fiquem enjoados
See me in shit you never saw
Veja-me em merda que você nunca viu
If it wasn't for these pictures they wouldn't see me at all
Se não fosse por essas fotos, eles não me veriam de jeito nenhum
Aww, whole world's in awe
Aww, o mundo inteiro está em choque

Eu atravesso tetos de vidro, eu quebro portas fechadas

Estou no oceano, estou no céu
