Ocean, Frank - Pyramids Lyrics






Set the cheetahs on the loose
There's a thief out on the move
Underneath our legion's view
They have taken Cleopatra

Run run run come back for my glory
(Cleopatra, Cleopatra)

Bring her back to me
(Cleopatra, hey oh Patra ehh ehh Cleopatra)

Run run run the crown of our pharaoh
(Cleopatra, Cleopatra)

The throne of our queen is empty
(Hey oh' Patra, Cleopatra)

And we'll run to the future
Shining like diamonds in a rocky world
A rocky, rocky world
Our skin like bronze and our hair like cashmere
As we march to the rhythm
On the palace floor
Chandeliers inside the pyramids
Tremble from the force
Cymbals crash inside the pyramids
Voices fill up the halls

Set the cheetahs on the loose
There's a thief out on the move
Underneath our legion's view
They have taken Cleopatra, Cleopatra

The jewel of Africa
(Jewel)
What 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 gold
I found you laying down with Samson
And his full head of hair
Found my black queen Cleopatra
Bad dreams Cleopatra

Remove her
Send the cheetahs to the tomb
Our war is over, our queen has met her doom
No more she lives, no more serpent in her room
No more, it has killed Cleopatra, Cleopatra

Big sun coming strong through the motel blinds
Wake up to your girl for now let's call her Cleopatra, Cleopatra
I watch you fix your hair
Then put your panties on in the mirror, Cleopatra
Then your lipstick, Cleopatra
Then your six inch heels
Catch her
She's headed to the pyramid

She's working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight

Pimping in my convos
Bubbles in my champagne
Let it be some jazz playing
Top floor motel suite, twisting my cigars
Floor model TV with the VCR
Got rubies in my damn chain
Whip ain't got no gas tank
But it still got woodgrain
Got your girl working for me
Hit the strip and my bills paid
That keep my bills paid
Hit the strip and my bills paid
Keep a nigga bills paid

She's working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid

You showed up after work I'm bathing your body
Touch you in places only I know
You're wet and you're warm just like our bathwater
Can we make love before you go
The way you say my name makes me feel like
I'm that nigga
But I'm still unemployed
You say it's big but you take it
Ride cowgirl
But your love ain't free no more, baby
But your love ain't free no more

She's working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
That's right
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight

    “Frank Ocean has always been one of the smarter artists in music and I think this song is a great representation of his geniusness. Perhaps I’m reading waaay too much into the lyrics and content of "Pyramids”, but I think that Frank Ocean is singing about the transformation of the Black woman from the earliest of civilization to today. Cleopatra is the symbol of beauty, independence, and a Queen, she also happened to Black and Frank starts the song off by alarming his listeners that “There’s a thief out on the move/Underneath our legion’s view/They have taken Cleopatra”. He then pleads that bring back the respectable Black woman while saying “Run run run, come back for my glory/Bring her back to me/Run run run, the crown of our pharaoh/The throne of our queen is empty.” The song then takes an interesting shift in tempo and the darker beat matches Frank’s lyric content as he talks about a stripper who he epitomizes as the modern day Black woman. “The Pyramid” is the joint where this stripper works and where Frank pimps out this girl to “hit the strip & my bills paid, keep a nigga bills paid.” Nevertheless, Frank really gave a strong content output in this song and indirectly begs for the respectable Black woman back while keeping up with the difficult Cleopatra theme. However, it should be noted that Cleopatra was not buried in one of the pyramids because that type of burial was way before her time. Again, if I got this completely wrong, then oh well, but this is what I think when I listen to this new track."
