Christopher Edwin Breaux, professionally known as Frank Ocean is an America… Read Full Bio ↴Christopher Edwin Breaux, professionally known as Frank Ocean is an American singer/songwriter and member of the gleefully hedonistic hip-hop collective OFWGKTA. He was born on October 28, 1987 and lived in Long Beach, California. He has helped pen tracks for Justin Bieber, John Legend, Brandy, and Beyoncé over the last few years. In 2011, Ocean released his debut mixtape, Nostalgia, Ultra, for free via his Tumblr..

Venting about his decision to drop the record his own way, he took to Twitter on March 1, 2011:

"i. did. this. not ISLAND DEF JAM. that's why you see no label logo on the artwork that I DID. guess its my fault for trusting my dumbass lawyer and signing my career over to a failing company. fuck Def Jam & any company that goes the length of signing a kid with dreams & talent w/ no intention of following through. fuck em. now back to my day. i want some oatmeal and toast. brunch swag."

As a member of the Odd Future (OFWGKTA) collective, his sound is distinctively soulful/r&b influenced, yet done in a way that could pass for something totally different. As Tyler, the Creator states, “It’s Smooth Ass Music About Bitches, Relationships And Being A Rich Young Nigga…But In A Swagged Out Way.”

Ocean was evacuated from the University of New Orleans to Los Angeles, California just as Hurricane Katrina hit in August 2005, and stayed in Los Angeles to pursue a music career. Ocean joined Los Angeles based collective OFWGKTA, who he met through mutual friends, at the end of 2009. In the end of 2009, he met Tricky Stewart, who helped Ocean sign a contract with Def Jam Recordings as an artist, however, he was initially unable to build a relationship with the company. In 2010, he changed his name from Christopher "Lonny" Breaux to Christopher Francis Ocean via a legal website. In an April 2011 interview, Ocean intimated that his relationship with Def Jam has strengthened since the release of his mixtape. On April 28, 2011, Ocean was arrested on unspecified charges by the LAPD, and was released on the morning after on April 29, 2011. Ocean joined his OFWGKTA bandmates for the first time on tour from May 12 to May 19, 2011. On May 31, 2011, Def Jam released the single Novacane on iTunes soon followed by Swim Good Taken from his mixtape Nostalgia, ULTRA. His first 'proper' album, Channel Orange was released on July 17, 2012.

In 2016, He released the visual album Endless alongside his second studio album Blonde, following several years of delays. Blonde debuted at number one in the United States and United Kingdom.

In 2017, Ocean released several singles, including Chanel and Lens, through his Blonded Radio show, and made several appearances on other songs by artists like Calvin Harris, A$AP Mob, and Tyler, the Creator.

No baby don't do that, don't touch that
Could you please be still? (Baby, stop)
No baby, you can't have that
Until you eat your dinner
Guess I gotta treat you like a baby girl

You're the cutest, you're the cutest thing
Oh oh but you can't always get your way

Like a baby girl
I wanna keep that smile on your face
All for it
But it ain't easy, you won't make it easy

You're old enough to drink
But when it comes to love you think
Just like a two year old terror
A twenty-two year old terror
Temper tantrums out in public
Cause you want it when you want it
Like a two year old terror
Twenty-two year old terror

Now you know you should be sleeping, but okay
I'll give you ten more minutes
We've been sleeping in the same bed
Cause you been having nightmares
And you need me here
I guess I always treat you like a baby girl

You're the cutest
You're the cutest thing aw yeah
But you can't always get your way
Like a baby girl
I wanna keep that smile on your face, uh huh

But it ain't easy, no it ain't easy

You're old enough to drink
But when it comes to love you think
Just like a two year old terror
A twenty-two year old terror
Temper tantrums out in public
Cause you want it when you want it
Like a two year old terror
Twenty-two year old terror
You're old enough to drink
But when it comes to love you think
Just like a two year old terror
A twenty-two year old terror
Temper tantrums out in public
Cause you want it when you want it
Like a two year old terror
Twenty-two year old terror

You want love? Well no more sugar for you
And you don't know how to act
So no more sugar for you
You're jumping off the walls
No more sugar for you
I said ain't no sugar for you
Well, just a little bit, but

You're old enough to drink
But when it comes to love you think
Just like a two year old terror
A twenty-two year old terror
Temper tantrums out in public
Cause you want it when you want it
Like a two year old terror
Twenty-two year old terror

You're old enough to drink
But when it comes to love you think
Just like a two year old terror
A twenty-two year old terror
Temper tantrums out in public
Cause you want it when you want it
Like a two year old terror
Twenty-two year old terror

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Frank Ocean's song "Old Terror" depict a relationship dynamic where one person exhibits immature behavior and demands constant attention and affection. The singer of the song, who seems to be the partner of this person, acknowledges the cute and endearing qualities of their partner but also realizes that they can't always get their way. The partner is likened to a baby girl, with the singer feeling the need to treat them as such in order to keep them happy.

The lyrics touch on various aspects of this dynamic, including the partner's insistence on having what they want when they want it, their temper tantrums in public, and their childlike behavior even though they are old enough to drink. Despite the challenges and frustrations, the singer wants to maintain a smile on their partner's face, but acknowledges that it is not an easy task.

The repeated line about no more sugar for the partner can be interpreted as a metaphor for indulgence and giving in to their demands. The singer decides that they will no longer enable this behavior by denying them the "sugar" they crave. However, there is a hint of compromise at the end, implying that a little bit of indulgence might still be allowed.

Overall, the lyrics of "Old Terror" explore the complexities of a relationship where one person exhibits immature behavior and the other person tries to navigate their demands while maintaining a balance of love and understanding.
