Frank Ocean - Pyramids (Single) Lyrics
[Hook]Set the cheetahs on the looseThere's a thief out on the moveUnderneath our legion's viewThey have taken Cleopatra[Bridge]Run run run, come back for my gloryBring her back to meRun run run, the crown of our pharaohThe throne of our queen is empty[Verse 1]We'll run to the future, shining like diamondsIn a rocky world, rocky-rocky worldOur skin like bronze and our hair like cashmereAs we march to rhythm on the palace floorChandeliers inside the pyramid, tremble from the forceCymbals crash inside the pyramid, voices fill up the halls[Hook][Verse 2]The jewel of AfricaWhat good is a jewel that ain't still precious?How could you run off on me? How could you run off on us?You feel like God inside that goldI found you laying down with Samson and his full head of hairFound my black queen Cleopatra, bad dreams, Cleopatra[Outro]Remove her, send the cheetahs to the tombOur war is over, our queen has met her doomNo more she lives no more serpent in her roomNo more it has killed Cleopatra*Second part*[Verse 1]Big sun coming strong through the motel blindsWake up to your girl for now, let's call her CleopatraI watch you fix your hairThen put your panties on in the mirror, CleopatraThen your lipstick, CleopatraThen your six-inch heels, catch herShe's headed to the pyramid[Hook]She's working at the pyramid tonightWorking at the pyramidWorking at the pyramid tonight[Verse 2]Pimping in my convosBubbles in my champagne, let it be some jazz playingTop floor motel suite twisting my cigarsFloor model TV with the VCRGot rubies in my damn chainWhip ain't got no gas tank but it still got woodgrainGot your girl working for meHit the strip and my bills paid that keep my bills paidHit the strip and my bills paid, keep a nigga bills paid[Hook][Verse 3]You showed up after work I'm bathing your bodyTouch you in places only I knowYou're wet and you're warm just like our bathwaterCan we make love before you goThe way you say my name makes me feel likeI'm that nigga but I'm still unemployedYou say it's big but you take it, ride cowgirlBut your love ain't free no more, babyBut your love ain't free no more[Hook](John Mayer guitar solo)
