Super Rich Kids
Frank Ocean Lyrics

There's nothing like this type of view
Point the clicker at the tube
I prefer expensive news
New car, new girl
New ice, new glass
New watch, good times babe
It's good times, yeah
She wash my back three times a day
This shower head feels so amazing
We'll both be high, the help don't stare
They just walk by, they must don't care
A million one, a million two
A hundred more will never do

Too many bottles of this wine we can't pronounce
Too many bowls of that green, no Lucky Charms
The maids come around too much
Parents ain't around enough
Too many joyrides in daddy's Jaguar
Too many white lies and white lines
Super rich kids with nothing but loose ends
Super rich kids with nothing but fake friends

Real love, I'm searching for a real love
Oh, real love, I'm searching for a real love
Oh, real love

Close your eyes to what you can't imagine
We are the Xanny-gnashing
Caddy-smashing, bratty ass
He mad, he snatched his daddy's Jag
And used that shit for batting practice
Adamant and he thrashing
Purchasing crappy grams with half the hand of cash you handed
Panic and patch me up
Pappy done latch-keyed us
Toying with Raggy Anns and Mammy done had enough
Brash as fuck, breachin' all these aqueducts
Don't believe us, treat us like we can't erupt, yup

We end our day up on the roof
I say I'll jump, I never do
But when I'm drunk I act a fool
Talking 'bout, do they sew wings on tailored suits
I'm on that ledge, she grabs my arm
She slaps my hand
It's good times, yeah
Sleeve rips off, I slip, I fall
The market's down like sixty stories
And some don't end the way they should
My silver spoon has fed me good
A million one, a million cash
Close my eyes and feel the crash

Too many bottles of this wine we can't pronounce
Too many bowls of that green, no Lucky Charms
The maids come around too much
Parents ain't around enough
Too many joy rides in daddy's Jaguar
Too many white lies and white lines
Super rich kids with nothing but loose ends
Super rich kids with nothing but fake friends

Real love (ain't that something rare)
I'm searching for a real love (talking 'bout real love)
Uh-uh (uh-uh)
Real love (real love, yeah)
Real love (real love)
I'm searching for a real love
(Talkin' 'bout) real love, oh

We end our day up on the roof
I say I’ll jump, I never do
But when I’m drunk I act a fool
Talking bout, “do they sew sings on tailored suits?”
I’m on that ledge
She grabs my arm
She slaps my head,
It’s good times, yeah
Sleeve rips off, I slip, i fall
The market’s down like 60 stories
And some don’t end
The way they should
My silver spoon
Has fed me good
A million one, a million cash
Close my eyes and feel the crash....

When I first heard this I thought it was kind of funny like he’s mocking these kids, the more I listened to it, the more I realized growing up rich is bittersweet and can be really sad. And with more and more people exposing their vulnerable side and confessing their depressions, I realize money really can’t buy happiness and sometimes brings even more loneliness

シlanni

@Squiddy FancySon for a small amount of time

Chronorust

@Malik Sanders I mean who are you responding to tho. Cause OP hit the point on the nail.

Chronorust

@Meagan Johnson Well there's a slight higher rate of suicide in people with rich status. There's plenty of ways it can effect you, both positively and negatively.

Chronorust

@Squiddy FancySon It can buy TEMPORARY happiness. But if your not cool with yourself, who are you without it? Shoot, I can but happiness with a 10 sketchbook and a pencil. 😂

@Meagan Johnson imo, money can attribute to happiness but it’s not synonymous with it. If you are depressed and broke rest assured that if you hit the lottery you won’t immediately be smiling from ear to ear.

Growing up being a broke kid I can empathize with rich kids because the one thing they have in common with poor kids is that their often neglected. Parents in both cases too busy working. The only truly happy kids who grow up with love are ones where parents are in between rich and poor.

Smooth seas don't make a strong sailor. In a morbid way, I'm thankful for my hardly present alcoholic dad who wasn't part of the family but he did what he had to do for us with 3 jobs and now as a socially stunted 23 year old who has had nothing but one trauma and challenge after the other, I've overcome suicidal depression and I'm now dealing with panic disorder and honestly it's not like I'm depressed any more but constantly in a state of fight or flight makes me want to seriously just say it was a good shit filled 23 years and spend my last couple hundred on a used gun for my final meal, but I also feel like I owe it to myself to keep pushing through. Idk what this comment really even has to do with the original comment any more I'm just high and finally feel a sense of calm and life is just so fucking hard at times and it will creep up on you if you don't take care of yourself

@Jack Kaminski just because it's abstract doesn't mean it's good. you'll realize that soon enough that that shit is GARBAGE

Jack Kaminski

@Nemesis No he isn't. He's rapping the same lyrics that we all know over more abstract beats and I fucking love it. Just because Pablo Picasso made abstract that doesn't mean he was a bad artist. Same thing with Earl. It's abstract, but that's why its amazing. It's amazing because it's unique and weird.

Nemesis it’s been 3 months and you’re still wrong about some rap songs. If you can’t feel the rhythm in the beats then your idea of rhythm is pretty generic. The rhythm is 100% there. It’s just going over your head I guess

This song reminds me of my ex girlfriend she wasn’t like super rich or anything but her parents were never around. We spend almost entire days at her house like hours on hours and I would leave just before they came home at night. I dated her for like 5 months and never met her parents, but she knew my entire family. That relationship will always be a mystery to me. I had what most kids dreamed of.

We dated for two years and she knew all my family but I only knew her dad and very few people in general. She was always alone with her dad at a different place all the time. Couldn't tell you how much this song has been just sending me back for a split second lol, just crazy man.

The problem with being rich is that you're already at the top. If you were middle class you always have stuff to look forward to or to work up to if you were bored or felt unfufilled. You have everything when you're rich and if you feel unfufilled there's nothing to do.

Jack Cairy

@lynch Exactly. I'm not saying that rich people have it hard, I'm just saying that money doesn't buy happiness, especially in the form of company. The trust fund life is lonely.

I love that it tells a story between the lines
The chorus lays out what ‘Rich Kids’ have problems with
The rest of the song follows one Rich Kid as they go about their day progressively hating their life as the song goes on
The beginning of the song is a more apathetic and numb response to the Rich Kid’s problems and them ignoring their feelings, noticing little things they have problems with. The middle talks about how the problems are getting to them and hating themselves for not jumping. The end of the song has them having enough with it and ending their day up on the roof about to jump. When their friend finds them they just write it off as a tough day or something and go back to being numb and apathetic, going back to the regular over the top life style, feeling no one really cares about them but not wanting to care enough to truly deal with these feelings
Jus my interpretation tho
This is such a bop💕💕

I’m very late to discussing this song but it’s something about when he sings “I’m searching for a real love” that feels so disingenuous. What I mean is that it sounds like he is referencing a different song (whose name I forget rn) in that line but hits a different pitch than the original which, if you’ve heard the original, makes it feel kind of off. Like the rich kid he is singing as is searching for a real love while simultaneously not believing in it or not believing that they will ever find it. I always think about that when I listen to this song and while I do feel like I’m reading into it, it does enhance my own understanding of the song. Such a nice song.

sure rich kids go through not getting quality family time but they got all that money and don't use it for the greater good just waste it on material shit to fill their heart in the wrong ways

B-atiful!

35w↑7

Please understand that kids who grow up rich aren't taught to do that. The rich get richer and that extends to the kids. Fucks up there are brainwashed to hell and have their human decency beaten out of em. It still sucks ass and I hate the adults who do it but the kids?
This song is literally from the perspective of a kid. like a teenager. And I know they're going to grow up to be a shitty rich billionaire but like. Being rich is still like a sad as fuck life that goes against the laws of human nature and psychology and that has to hurt the people who go through it. Idk man fuck the rich but also like understand them ig. Empathize but don't excuse. (This song is actually SUPER obviously tongue and cheek so much so the first time I heard it I thought it was exlusively just making fun of rich kids. Empathize don't excuse.)

@Trellie s.s. Rose It certainly is not exclusive. Every person from every tax bracket can have terrible parents. And that's something we can all bond over.

@I It may suck to here this, but it's rough all over. I was relatively well-off as a child before 2008 and my parents never agreed on anything my whole life. Really fu*ked me over, but I know what's on both sides of the fence.

36w↑5

@Trellie s.s. Rose poor people dont get the chance to be with their parents because they're busting their ass working double shifts... idk why rich kids complain, at least they have comforts and dont have to worry about bills or what they're gonna eat.
