Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me what you want
Through the lines
I done seen a lot
Through my mind
Running up the clock
Are you mine
All my niggas said you not
Called you my Real shooter like you R9
Thought I had your heart so didn’t guard mine
That is the last time
I fold
Did it once, never hold
Did it once, no recoup
Gotta hold my repute
Feel I got something to lose, so
I’m busy fronting my moves
I’m finna stunt for the photo
Look at my wrist (Wrist)
Look at my bitch (Bitch)
Look at my wrist (Wrist)
She doesn’t know, oh no, she wanna know
I wanna go, go, go, she gotta hold
Look in her eyes
Dip it in slow
Feeling the drift of my mind
With my mind on my mo
4am she phoning
Everyday she want it in the morning
Give her what she want, she so controlling
Gripping on my soul, it’s like she own it
Tears drops dripping by the litre
Big shots sipping she a keeper (She like)
Take a heavy swig up of this potion
Ocean...
Ocean
When I be with you feel like I’m floating
But I guess you just here for the motion
What I’m ‘posed to do with my emotions
Floating
Ocean
Saw the flags, didn’t go
Why’d I ever doubt, yeah a nigga should’ve known
Hit em with the pout, jiggy bounce on the flo’ (For some)
Instagram clout, yeah no doubt she a hoe tho
Big bag, took that bitch 6 flags, now she feeling for my pesos
Told me she in love, think she got me but it’s bait tho
Oh I think she only wanna fuck me for my payload
Oh got damn I hate hoes
Switching lanes on the main road
Can’t be my main tho
She busy thinking that she know me
Think she winning coz I’m lonely
Dunno mans been a damn OG
Dunno mans seat on the fleet so cozy but my meat gets so lonely
All the flashbacks when I hit it back slowly got me tryna relapse lowkey
Ocean
When I be with you feel like I’m floating
But I guess you just here for the motion
What I’m ‘posed to do with my emotions
Floating
Ocean
Hit em with the pout, jiggy bounce on the flo’ (For some)
Instagram clout, yeah no doubt she a hoe tho
The lyrics to D.Riba's song "The Ocean" is about a tumultuous relationship with a woman who has a hold on the singer's emotions. The lyrics are telling a story about how the singer feels and views their relationship. The lyrics showcase that the relationship is one-sided, with the woman being controlling and possessive of him. The singer is infatuated with her and feels like he is floating when he is with her, but this feeling is not reciprocated as it is just for the motion of things. The song is also about keeping a reputation, with one’s ego and sense of self-worth being intertwined with that reputation, adding to the conflict of the relationship. But even in the face of all this, the singer struggles to let go because of his love for her.
The first paragraph of the lyrics is about a relationship that the singer's friends have warned him about, but he has chosen to ignore. The second paragraph is about the singer trying to show off to his love interest by flaunting his wealth and possessions. In the third and final paragraph, the singer realizes that the relationship is one-sided and that the woman is only using him for his money and fame. Despite all of this, he still has strong feelings for her.
Overall, "The Ocean" is a song that tells a story about a toxic relationship that is based on one person's desire for money and fame, while the other is infatuated with them. It is a cautionary tale about the importance of listening to one's intuition and the warnings of those that care about them, as well as valuing oneself above all else.

What you want
Please tell me what you desire
Tell me what you want
I want to know specifically what you need
Through the lines
By observing patterns of behavior
I done seen a lot
I have experienced a great deal
Through my mind
Within my thoughts and memories
Running up the clock
Wasting valuable time
Are you mine
Do I have ownership over you
All my niggas said you not
My close friends believe you do not belong to me
But you know niggas talk I pay it no mind
I do not let their gossip affect me
Called you my Real shooter like you R9
Compared you to a top football scorer - Ronaldo
Thought I had your heart so didn’t guard mine
I believed you loved me and neglected to protect my own emotions
That is the last time
I have learned my lesson and will not make the same mistake again
I fold
I give up on a situation or relationship
Did it once, never hold
I tried something once but will not try it again
Did it once, no recoup
I lost something and cannot get it back
Gotta hold my repute
I must maintain my reputation
Feel I got something to lose, so
I have valuable things at risk
I’m busy fronting my moves
I am pretending to be in control
I’m finna stunt for the photo
I plan to show off in pictures
Look at my wrist (Wrist)
Check out my watch
Look at my bitch (Bitch)
See my significant other
Look at my wrist (Wrist)
Check out my watch (again)
She doesn’t know, oh no, she wanna know
My partner is curious but unaware of some things
I wanna go, go, go, she gotta hold
I am ready to move on but she is trying to hold me back
Look in her eyes
Gaze into her pupils
Dip it in slow
Move slowly while having sexual intercourse
Feeling the drift of my mind
Sensing a shift in my thoughts
With my mind on my mo
Thinking about my money (mo = money)
4am she phoning
She calls me at 4am
Everyday she want it in the morning
She expects sexual activity every morning
Give her what she want, she so controlling
She is very dominant and demanding
Gripping on my soul, it’s like she own it
She has a strong hold over me (metaphorically)
Tears drops dripping by the litre
Crying heavily
Big shots sipping she a keeper (She like)
Drinking expensive alcohol and being a valuable partner
Take a heavy swig up of this potion
Drink this substance quickly and heavily
Ocean...
Referring to the song's title – 'The Ocean'
When I be with you feel like I’m floating
Being with my partner feels like I'm levitating
But I guess you just here for the motion
I think you're only here for physical pleasure
What I’m ‘posed to do with my emotions
I don't know what to do with my feelings
Hit em with the pout, jiggy bounce on the flo’ (For some)
Make a sad face and dance in a carefree manner on the dance floor
Instagram clout, yeah no doubt she a hoe tho
Gaining popularity on social media (Instagram) and being promiscuous
