Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just wanna move like this
They just wanna move like that
(That)
(That)
(That)
(That)
You just wanna cap my flows
They just wanna buy my cat

Listen to me run my chat
Glisten when I run that back
Running with those gums so slick
But you cunt run a bath
I just come do the math
Pick up the cash fast
Then I dash
Blast
Running around and rolling up
(Roll it up)
Bunning town we blowing up
(Blow it up)
Come with the sound we turn it up
Hold it up
Fold it up
Then jump like bunny hop
(Bounce)
(Bounce)
Running around we rolling up
(Oh No)
Bunning town we blowing up
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
Come with the sound we turn it up
Hold it up
Fold it up
Then jump like bunny hop
In your mind
Tell me what you wanted
Do you find
Realize
We are Haunted
We the wraiths
Come through
I wanna flow like oceans
Spread wide like sea
(Wide like sea)
Came in with the motion
Then I left with the breeze
(Yeah I left with the breeze)
Don't know what you came for
But you know where I'll be
So we turn it around now
With the wraith we see
With the wraith we see
Lock down when I kill them with the flow
Block town when the riddum wanna roll
I know
Spit it with the vibes I load
You just kick it with the guys I know
Like woah
Hit it with the prime time show
Flip it on the timeline bro
I know
You just wanna light my dro
I just wanna rhyme and flow
So
Up and up and up on this
Pushing thru
I'm stuck get fucking gone quick
Touching on each other were the ones
Sticking together through the darkness
On this
You know
You know
I be holding out for you but
We don't
You don't
We don't do that anymore
Sleepy on beat
Heat beyond the reach
I be teaching you
Cataclysm
I have risen
From the depths
Of my destitute
I drew
Power
Soul
Rushed up out of Control
I just got to push much harder
Than I
Ever did before
You know
Blunder pressure of yutes
Bun the pressure of you
(Bun that)
Under the pressure of fools
But I got to make diamonds for the crew
But they all dying From the slew
Tell me what the fuck am I menna do
Every time I step inside of my head
I just hear the echoes left there by you
Woah
It's your mind
Tell me you wanted
Do you find
Realize
We are haunted
I wanna flow like oceans
Spread wide like sea
(Wide like sea)
Came in with the motion
Then I left with the breeze
(Yeah I left with the breeze)
Don't know what you came for
(But you know where I'll be)
So we turn it around now
With the wraith we see
With the wraith we see
In your mind
Tell me what you wanted
Do you find

Realize
They are haunted

The rapper expresses his desire to move forward and succeed while also acknowledging the obstacles he faces from those who may want to undermine him.

There is a sense of frustration with those who want to "cap" his creativity, yet an unwavering determination to "pick up the cash fast" and "dash" towards his goals.

The chorus, which repeats the line "I wanna flow like oceans," speaks to the idea of a fluid, unstoppable force. Despite the challenges he faces, the rapper is determined to "spread wide like the sea" and leave his mark. The metaphor of the ocean is one of power and resilience, as no obstacle can truly stop the flow of water. Koh-i-noor also speaks to the idea of being "haunted," whether by past failures or by the influence of others. There is a struggle to find clarity in a world that can feel suffocating or overwhelming.

Overall, 'Ocean' is a song about grit and determination. Despite the challenges that the rapper faces, he remains committed to pushing forward and striving for success.

We the wraiths, Come through
We are obscured and ghost-like, but we still make our presence known

I wanna flow like oceans, Spread wide like sea

Came in with the motion, Then I left with the breeze
I came in with energy and creativity, and I left with contentment and freedom

Don't know what you came for, But you know where I'll be
You may not know why you're here, but you know where to find me

With the wraith we see
But we still see and know what's going on

Lock down when I kill them with the flow
I have complete control when I perform and capture my audience

Block town when the riddum wanna roll
I block out any distractions when I'm in the zone

Every time I step inside of my head, I just hear the echoes left there by you
Whenever I think, I only hear the remnants of a past relationship or conversation with you

It's your mind, Tell me you wanted
What do you truly desire?

Do you find, Realize, They are haunted
Do you acknowledge that others may also struggle with inner demons?
