About

“Pretty Sweet” marks one of the bolder moments on Frank Ocean’s sophomore album Blonde, with an initially unsettling change of pace where Frank is singing wildly over a chaotic mixture of strings and synthesizers.

The sonic experimentation sets the tone for the lyrics, which seem to purposely lack...

Pretty Sweet Lyrics

[Intro]
Now, to the edge, I'll race
To the end, I'll make it
All the risk, I'll take it
Head bang with my faux friends
We pour a taste out for the dead
This is the blood, the body, the life right now
The height right now
Might be what I need
Might be what I need
Said you wanna hurt me now
You can't hurt me now
That might be what you need

[Verse]
What it means to be alive on this side
(Said you wanna kill me now)
On this side
(Don't let me down)
On this side
(Down, down)
Fuck the other side
I'm on this side
I'm on this side
I'm on this side
How it feels to have arrived
I'm inside
I'm inside
Those are my niggas for life
Mothers of us, be kind
To the fathers on whom we rely
Fathers of us, be kind
To the mothers on whom we rely
Ah-hah, ah-hah
Ah-hah, ah-hah
Ah-hah, ah-hah
Ah-hah, ah-hah
Ah-hah

[Outro]
We know you're sugar
We know you're sweet like a sucker
Pretty sweet
Pretty sweet
