Honestly I didn't really love that album all that much but Pyramids was one of those tracks that felt like greatness the moment I heard it. I'm talkin like "Wow this shyt might be like one of the ten best songs I ever heard" type shyt. INSTANT classic.

And mind you I'm a cac and the song is about - I think - a black dude that's mad he lost his woman to a white man. Unless of course someone has a different interpretation.
That 8-bit melody that resonates with the nintendo generation. :banderas:

Thats where youre wrong because i have a family and a wife while Frank Ocean is bragging about laying with me. Two different ways of life but i get it, you gotta defend the faggits because stick shifts arouse you, bytch boy.

I did. I'm not really seeing it. But it's a complex song so it's just a different way of looking at it. But your interpretation of the song and the fact that you like it is kind of :patrice:

He keeps sayin "we" lost our black queen. And then says he found her in bed with Sampson and his "full head of hair". I dunno, for whatever reason I took that as her bedding with a white dude.

But hey, who knows. Maybe I'm wrong.

Cant stop listening to this. I need to decypher what the deeper meaning of the sh*t is :ahh: Is this about the fall of the black woman :wtf:

Pretty much. Cleopatra, the last Pharaoh of Egypt, a bronze beauty of privilege and power, had a history of whoring herself to the white Greek men like Julius Caesar and Mark Atony for more power. When Antony committed suicide, Cleo followed suite and this lead to the demise of the jewels of Africa.

With the death of the last global Black Queen, you find black women today at the pyramids made out of bedsheets, whoring themselves as well; however, this time for the need of money. This can be attributed to the lack of privilege black women were born with thanks to the horrid acts of Cleopatra which has doomed them all.
