Ocean
M.T. Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see my life from the distance
From cracked and blurry lenses
It’s like my vision went missing
And no optician can fix this
They say you see what you wanna
And all I can see is these hunnits
She ain’t want me before
But now she wanna kick it with me like she punting
See I really come from nothing
So forever I am grateful
As long as I can put food on the table
Fuck a job that is stable
Im after a millie like Wayne
Shaq in the paint
Your bitch Einstein with the brain
We could never be the same
I got the drip like a sink
What do you think
I am on another level
Elevating
Changing
Can never settle
I am on another level
Elevating
Changing
Can never settle
Imma wavy nigga like the ocean
Yeah my drip will leave you floating
Imma wavy nigga like the ocean
Yeah my drip will leave you floating
Imma wavy nigga like the ocean
Yeah my drip will leave you floating
Imma wavy nigga like the ocean
Yeah my drip will leave you floating
Wavy nigga
I can see why you hate me nigga
Is it cuss my name getting bigger
Got you watching me grow like a babysitter
I started at the bottom
They tried to stop me
Now I became the problem
Young nigga popping
Your bitch she think that I’m awesome
Cuss Im dripping like a faucet
We could never be same
Never been plain
I been through too many things
As real as they came
Don’t you lie up on my name

Keep thinking that I'm seeing water
You're playing tricks on me in the sun
See your shadow in the courtyard
Stays until the day is done
The desert don't end
The rain don't fall
And I can't pretend I don't want you all
'Cause I want you all (you all, you all, you all)
Oh, babe, I really need you (need you)
My feelings getting deeper (deeper)
My mind is in a free fall (free fall)
But there's nothing I can do when it comes to you
You play with my emotions (emotions)
I'm flowing like the ocean (ocean)
I pray for your devotion (devotion)
'Cause there's nothing I can do when it comes to you
My oa-, my oa-, my oasis
My oa-, my oa-, my oasis
My oa-, my oa-, my oasis
There's nothing I can do when it comes to you
Wait a minute, tell me why you're moving like that?
Nah, you wey I choose, but you make it so hard
I gave you my heart, you're making it so dark
But there's nothing I can do when it comes to you
You taking it for granted
A lot of silence, the river don't end
'Cause I want you all, yeah
(You all, you all, you all)
Oh, babe, I really need you (no, baby)
My feelings getting deeper (deeper)
My mind is in a free fall (free fall)
But there's nothing I can do when it comes to you
You play with my emotions (emotions)
I'm flowing like the ocean (ocean)
I pray for your devotion (devotion)
'Cause there's nothing I can do when it comes to you
My oa-, my oa-, my oasis
My oa-, my oa-, my oasis
My oa-, my oa-, my oasis
There's nothing I can do when it comes to you
My oa-, my oa-, my oasis
My oa-, my oa-, my oasis
My oa-, my oa-, my oasis
There's nothing I can do when it comes to you
I remember say me tell you, you're my hell and you're my heaven to me, to me, to me
Oh, oh, oh
