Talib Kweli, Mela Machinko - Ocean Song lyrics
[Talib Kweli, Mela Machinko - Ocean Song lyrics]
I treat my woman like water
I play with her emotions
Got her floatin’ that’s until I get
Her salty like the ocean she engrossin’
She full of mysteries and revelations
It’s ironic
Sea level is the highest elevation
She be movin’ with the moon cause
She move and she in tune
With the universe she bloom like
Bearded irises in June she make me swoon
If you’re not careful she will suck you in
You’re piratin’ lookin’ for that booty
But the treasure you discover
Is the mothership, marry for the love of it
You wonderin' why you need a
Licence from the government?
She the pool you jumpin’ in
Your neighbours covered in the earth
Three fourths water that’s the
Length you wanna
She bugging when I’m gone I’m comin’ back
When I get off the tour
But could the ocean ever divorce the shore?
I stare at her
I see the sun reflectin' cause it mirror her
I’m humble but I never feel inferior, still
Who am I to fight the
Ocean? The battle just begun
But the only way to win is
If me and the ocean one
When I swim against the current
I’m showin’ ‘em my pride
But her strength is a deterrent so
I’m goin’ with the tide
I can’t fight it, no, I can’t fight it, no
I can’t fight it, no, I can’t fight it, no
I can’t fight it, no, I can’t fight it, no
I can’t fight it, no, I try to fight it
She get loud at night
Way too loud to listen to me
And so I’m out at night
You know there’s other fish in the sea
Now I’m soundin’ like a stowaway
The ocean overwhelmin’
I’m so small, surprised she noticed me
Let’s go away and get a
Room with a spectacular view
Don’t be a basic chick
Focussed on the bag and the shoes
I’m playing favourites
You labourin’ so hard that
You broke the water
Got all sorts of memories and cured the
Remedies that you could show your daughters
Go with me so we can sow the seeds
A gem so rare that they should keep her
In the booth with the Mona Lisa
My poetry lives where the sky
And the ocean meet the potency capsizin’
See the ocean spray wetter than a
Kiss from my lover’s lips
Kiss the mothership
If God the ocean and I’m just a sip
Because of this waterless life
Let’s have a baby you so wavy, Ii’s crazy
Now I’m drownin’ come and save me
No I can’t fight it so tired it’s like
And it’s winning when his thirst quenchin’
Don’t fight it, no just let it flow
Like the ocean, just let it flow
I’m the ocean, just let it flow
I play with her emotions
Got her floatin’ that’s until I get
Her salty like the ocean she engrossin’
She full of mysteries and revelations
It’s ironic
Sea level is the highest elevation
She be movin’ with the moon cause
She move and she in tune
With the universe she bloom like
Bearded irises in June she make me swoon
If you’re not careful she will suck you in
You’re piratin’ lookin’ for that booty
But the treasure you discover
Is the mothership, marry for the love of it
