Jay-Z Shares Lyrics to “Oceans” (Feat. Frank Ocean) and Explains Song
Posted by Andy B. under album preview , videos[3] Comments
Jay-Z pulls out another surprise from the sleeve of his Surface to Air crew neck. Building even more excitement for his Magna Carta Holy Grail album, Hov shares the lyrics for “Oceans” which, fittingly enough, features Frank Ocean. In the latest album promo, released via the Magna Carta app (available now exclusively to Samsung users), he explains the meaning behind the song:
It’s a celebration of where we are now. You know, on some big yacht throwing champagne in the water, but the undertone is this same water is the water that brought us here… originally, as slaves.
Jay-Z is expected to release the first album single, “Holy Grail” featuring Justin Timberlake, tonight. Magna Carta Holy Grail becomes available via the Samsung app July 4.
Check out the “Oceans” lyrics and Jay-Z’s explanation after the jump…

Love the lyrics, anticipating an earth mover of an album, a great shame the Samsung app is not being made available to us in Africa…
GREAT SHAME.

Seriously……. HOV IS THE GOD MC(a lot of people may not be able to relate to his lifestyle but that doesn’t mean it isn’t inspirational for us to get there)just him coming from the bottom to evolving right before our eyes now is a blessing. He is making history whether they agree or not who else is doing it consistently at this level #MCHG
