[Verse 1
Talib Kweli:] I
treat my woman like water, I
play with her emotions Got her floating that's until I
get her salty like the
ocean She engrossing, she full of mysteries and revelations It's ironic, sea level is the
highest elevation She be moving 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 pirating looking for that booty but the
treasure you discover Is the
mothership, marry for the
love of it You wondering why you need a
licence from the
government? She the
pool you jumping in, your neighbours covered in the
earth Three fourths water that's the
length you wanna [?] She bugging when I'm gone I'm coming back when I
get off the
tour [?] but could the
ocean ever divorce the
shore? I
stare at her, I
see the
sun reflecting cause it mirror her I'm humble but I
never feel inferior, still [Hook Talib Kweli & Mela Machinko:] 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 showing 'em my pride But her strength is a
deterrent so I'm going 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 [Verse 2
Talib Kweli:] 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 sounding like a
stowaway, the
ocean overwhelming 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 labouring 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 [?] capsizing [?] 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 drowning come and save me [Hook] [Bridge x2 Mela Machinko:] No I
can't fight it So tired it's like [?] And it's winning when his thirst quenching Don't fight it, no Just let it flow [Outro Mela Machinko:] Like the
ocean, just let it flow I'm the
ocean, just let it flow
