Lyrics:
Metropolis City Council
It's the same story we have learnt
As students at school each year
The city erected walls to protect us
The city enacted laws
Yes, he made the album of 2012
(Just ask him
He'll tell you) But that was just the
Second biggest moment of Frank Ocean's year
Here, while wearing
not the same for those who were here
Before Columbus came...they've got to give up their claim
In 19 hundred 23 a tribal council came to be
Well I hope I die in a coal black Model T
Oh come along baby gonna take a look at me
Gonna fly to the ocean gonna fly to the sea
Gonna fly my my my
coming up
In them council houses
Pillow talking with a bitch
At least we made them talk about us
Tell em I know how I feel
And i don't wanna talk
Ife mi o oo ,like an ocean
Ife mi oo like an ocean
Like an ocean like an ocean
Like an ocean like an ocean
Ife mi o ife mi o ife mi o
Ife mi oo
the law son yeah
Fuck the law son
Fuck the law son
Fuck the law son
Fuck the law son
My girl wanna drive drunk to the grocery store
I asked for the keys but
Rediscovered holy laws, man's honesty to prove
They ride the wind on metallic wings
Envoys of the invisible council
At the speed of light, lighting up
Oh, hidden council, Shadows deep
Lumen Noctis, secrets they keep
Ignored my pleas, my words unheard
The path I tread, a new course stirred
Angry
Sat in the flats
Raised on a council estate
Living on benefits, no spare change
Feeling so trapped like a bird in a cage
Bad vibes so I burn sage
Sat
Mate rubs his shoes together and then looks up to the sea of blues taking in his life. He takes a big breath and turns around to the council staring
Watch
Thy wondering
Throughout
The lands
For there are those
Whom gives council
Of the ungodly
Of wickedness
Live life in ways of sin
Some sit in
The people passing the laws don't have notion
This is no life
This is torture
Down by the ocean
I'll wait down down by the ocean
I'll wait down down by
'Long John' is spreading his law
Hatching a death bringing plot
I show up in a council of war
What I heard in the barrel from this toad
The yell
Where ya money come from?
Law of attraction
How'd you get up on stage?
Law of attraction
How you tour round the world?
Law of attraction
How you get
chokin', testin' his aim
Don't call mans names
Ridin', rollin', drivin', stolen'
Wavey ocean, hate me, chosen
Ridin', rollin', drivin', stolen'
Welcome to my world
Oceans vs. mountains
(Welcome to her world
Oceans versus mountains)
Call me the poor girl
Cause I love to fight them
(Call her
Bridget McGinn.
Turned Papist himself and forsook the old cause
That gave us our freedom, religion and laws.
Now, boys of the townland made some noise
he married a Papish named Bridget McGinn
Turned Papish himself and forsook the Old Cause
That gave us our freedom, religion and laws.
And the boys
aside
Can not let my hands be tied
I am law and order
What about our priesthood?
Don't you see that we could fall?
If we are to last at all
We can not be
What care I who makes the laws of a nation
Let those who will take care of its rights and wrongs
What care I who care for the world's affairs
Blessed is the man who does not walk with evil men
Blessed is the man who does not take council with them
But his delight is in the law of Yahweh
Still cuttin' it live, uh
I been 88 bars so far, I brought stamina raw
I jam miraculous like cats way out in Fatima saw
I'm down by law so keep
tell me a story
Would you tell me a story
I've got no council, I just council myself because
You cant count on help when you carry yourself
And I can't
