  • Blessings, blessings yeah

    I see elephant tusk on the bow of a sailing lady
    Docked on the Ivory Coast
    Mercedes in a row winding down the road
    I hope my black skin don't dirt this white tuxedo
    Before the Basquiat show and if so
    Well fuck it, fuck it
    Because this water drown my family
    This water mixed my blood
    This water tells my story
    This water knows it all
    Go ahead and spill some champagne in the water
    Go ahead and watch the sun blaze
    On the waves of the ocean

    Dope boy still smelling like cocaina
    White boat, white robe
    Can he be more cleaner
    The oil spill that BP ain't clean up
    I'm anti-Santa Maria
    Only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace
    I don't even like Washingtons in my pocket
    Black card go hard when I'm shopping
    Boat dock in front of Hermes picking cotton
    Silk and fleeces, lay on my Jesus
    Oh my God, I hope y'all don't get seasick
    See me in shit you never saw
    If it wasn't for these pictures they wouldn't see me at all
    Aww, whole world's in awe
    I crash through glass ceilings, I break through closed doors
    I'm on the ocean, I'm in heaven
    Yachting, Ocean 11

    Elephant tusk on the bow of a sailing lady
    Docked on the Ivory Coast
    Mercedes in a row winding down the road
    I hope my black skin don't dirt this white tuxedo
    Before the Basquiat show and if so
    Well fuck it, fuck it
    Because this water drown my family
    This water mixed my blood
    This water tells my story
    This water knows it all
    Go ahead and spill some champagne in the water
    Go ahead and watch the sun blaze
    On the waves of the ocean

    Me and Ty Ty is like Pablo and Popeye
    Winding dirt roads on mopeds spilling Opus
    Welcome to the magnum opus
    The Magna Carta
    The best-selling author Decoded
    On the holiday playing "Strange Fruit"
    If I'mma make it to a billi I can't take the same route
    Swoosh, that's the sound of the border
    Swoosh, and that's the sound of a baller
    Muhammad Hovi my back against the rope
    The black Maybach, I'm back inside the boat
    Shepard Fairey they finally gave me some hope
    Can't believe they got a nigga to vote
    Democrat, nope, I sold dope
    In trouble waters I had to learn how to float
    On the ocean, I'm in heaven
    Yachting, Ocean 11

    Elephant tusk on the bow of a sailing lady
    Docked on the Ivory Coast
    Mercedes in a row winding down the road
    I hope my black skin don't dirt this white tuxedo
    Before the Basquiat show and if so
    Well fuck it, fuck it
    Because this water drown my family
    This water mixed my blood
    This water tells my story
    This water knows it all
    Go ahead and spill some champagne in the water
    Go ahead and watch the sun blaze
