[Intro: Travis Scott, Pharrell Williams, Kevin Parker & The Weeknd]
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, ooh, yeah)
Feels like slow motion (Yeah), we’re floating at the speed (Yeah)
Hoo (Yeah, yeah)
Louder (Louder)
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher (Uhh, yeah)
It's like standing in the ocean

[Verse 1: Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, The Weeknd, Kevin Parker & Travis Scott]
People say, “I want world peace”
Jerome's niece got shot in the dome-piece
So Jerome went and bought his own piece (The sadness washin’ me and the memories)
Thinking it would help him find his own peace
Sometimes I bug out, it's not from being drugged out, you think (Standing in the ocean)
It’s from bein' ridiculed than snubbed out (Yeah)
Wrote the Donda chart and was laughed out of the Valley (Yeah)
Thrown in the alley (The sadness washin’ me)
Banished back to Cali
To subject myself to managers and manipulators (Feels like slow motion, we’re floating at the speed)
Who only objective in life is to get the paper (Like floating, if I can’t be in time)
Where do you go if
You're just pourin' your soul to the soulless? (I don’t know, I don’t know, washin’ me, washin’ me)
That's why I ain't been doin' no press (In the ocean)
And you know the pink hair so fresh (If I can’t be loved)
But Yeezy gon' do more than entertain (I don’t know a sound)
Yeezy gon' build homes, schools and planes
Don't refer to me as rapper, or even a visionary (Standing in the ocean)
All of these titles just makin' my vision blurry (Standing in the ocean, the sadness washin’ me)
All of these deadlines makin' my decisions hurried
I am not your idol, I am not your rival (Bad memories like waves)
I am just a vessel and (Echoing)
A way of thinkin', really nothin' special, man (Echoing, echoing)
You know, when people say I'm on my Ye shit (Standing in the ocean, oh, baby)
A century from now, everybody gon' be on that same shit
I had a dream that I could float
Yeah, I had cracked the code
I was at my grandma's school, Vandapool
And for some reason, Posdnuos was there
And of course, the people sent people to get me
Let off a few shots but none of 'em hit me
The attempted assailants was black, but dressed like Remy
They had the AK-47 with the scope on it
When I make 47, I'll still be dope, won't I?
Back in real life, it's the words they try to murder me with
If I ask for help on my verse, that's plastic surgery rap (Ocean)
It's too many “I”s, and “they”s always to blame, like they did this (I don’t know what’s safe, oh baby)
Excuses always the same
Just take the statement; “I want world peace"
'Specially after what they did to Jerome's niece
I heard a girl scream to a girl, "Girl, please"
But if you remove "want", 'cause that's desire
And "I", 'cause that's ego, guess what? You have world peace
(It's like standing in the ocean)
[Interlude: Elon Musk & Jonathan Nolan]
Everyone in this room is inspired by you. Who are you inspired by?
Well, Kanye West, obviously

[Verse 2: Kanye West]
I fucked your ex and sent a text out of respect
It was good sex, honourable mention to the neck
Didn't ask to mouth, that was out of respect
Afterwards, pass the towel, I was out of Kleenex
When you take a girl out, do you expect sex?
And she take her titties out, do she expect checks?
Next visit, I gave her a pearl necklace
Next visit, think I need a girl naked
