Oceans Lyrics - Jay-z

You see this motherfucker 

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

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 

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 

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
