Strange Fruit

[Intro: Frank Ocean]
Blessings, blessings, yeaah!

[Chorus: Frank Ocean]
I see
Elephant tusk on the boar 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 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 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]

[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 playing “Strange Fruit”
If I'm a make it to a billi, I can't take the same route.
Swoosh,
That's the sound of the border.
Swoosh,
Now that's the sound of a baler.
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]
