[Intro: Frank Ocean]
Now…
[Verse: Frank Ocean]
What it means to be alive (Ooh, now)
On this side (Ooh)
On this side (Ooh)
On this side (On this side, now)
Fuck the other side (Ooh, now)
I'm on this side (Ooh)
I'm on this side (Woo)
I'm on this side (Ooh, now)
How it feels to have arrived (Ooh)
I'm inside (Ooh)
I'm inside (Woo)
Those are my niggas for life (Ooh, now)
Mothers of us, be kind
To the fathers on whom we rely
Fathers of us, be kind
To the mothers on whom we rely (Now)
[Bridge: Frank Ocean]
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah
[Chorus: Capital Children's Choir]
We know you're sugar
We know you're sweet like a sucker
Pretty sweet
