On a grassy knoll with a rifle in hand
Cupid cleans his little scope and calmly aims at a man
He had no plans of fallin', dreams of ballin'
Glorified call girls callin'
Numb to strength, but loves endorphins
Lust engulfin', yeah, I'm lost in here
But I'll find my way, I swear
Through all the fog, I stare
Dropped off this cross I bear
And chopped off my head
And tossed it back there somewhere
Now I'm headed home, my dear
And I brought a poem to share
And here's what it said
Love is a candlewick in rain
After the storm, we're still aflame, oh
I lied, love has been called a losin' game
But the more that I love, the more I gain
[Outro]
Woah (Ooh)
Makna Lagu Ocean Way - J. Cole
Di lirik ini, J. Cole lagi ngomongin soal cinta yang datang tanpa diduga dan bisa "menembak" siapa aja, bahkan orang yang awalnya nggak siap jatuh cinta. Dia ngerasa sempat tersesat dalam nafsu dan kebingungan, tapi akhirnya sadar kalau cinta itu bukan kelemahan. Walau cinta sering dibilang bikin sakit, buat dia justru sebaliknya. Semakin dia berani mencintai, semakin dia tumbuh dan dapet makna dalam hidupnya.
