Married To The Ocean

Lyrics

Intro: Rap
Yeah... yeah...
Lil Kane... Imperial Beach...
Living that life... Rascal life...
Married to the ocean... not to no one...
I am out my boi...

Verse 1: Rap
Imperial Beach living that life, hood on my back, salt on my skin, still IB
Same block since I was seven, cracked concrete, corner store, ghettos and gutters raised me
Tio's porch light buzzing, moths in the light, border sirens far, ocean hum saved me
Mama praying rosary in the kitchen, daddy gone, I was outside where the sand raised me
Never been a simp, never chased a bitch, ocean never lied, she never played me
Rascals on my chest, Misfits on the fence, same struggle, different pain, same baby
Third Street after midnight, pier closed, police pass, I just watch the waves, lazy
South Bay taught me patience, taught me silence, taught me how a man gotta be

Hook: Rap - no singing
619 in my palm, sand in my shoes, cold in my chest, we outside
Pier wood wet, midnight fog thick, tide coming up, we outside
Imperial Beach living that life, Rascal life, married to the ocean, no lie
South Bay taught me how to wait, how to watch, how to hide, how to survive

Verse 2: Rap
Tio asked mijo when you gon settle, when you gon find a good girl a wife
I pointed at the water black at night, said Tio I'm already married for life
Rascal life ain't easy, rent late every month, block hot, cops doing laps twice
But the ocean don't charge rent, don't judge, don't ask where I was last night
Mama said come home mijo I said mama I am home right here by the lights
Homies gone some locked some dead some moved to Vegas tryna live right
Only one that stayed solid never left never switched was the ocean at night
So I gave her my heart gave her my name Lil Kane married to the ocean for life

Hook: Rap - no singing
619 in my palm, sand in my shoes, cold in my chest, we outside
Pier wood wet, midnight fog thick, tide coming up, we outside
Imperial Beach living that life, Rascal life, married to the ocean, no lie
South Bay taught me how to wait, how to watch, how to hide, how to survive

Verse 3: Rap
Seaside to Palm Ave same pain same bikes same kids tryna get out but we stay
Ghettos and gutters off the corner trash in the alley but the sunset still gold every day
I seen boys turn to men men turn to memory names on a wall by the bay
I seen girls turn cold turn away but the ocean always came back every wave
Never boyfriend pimping IB never that Lil Kane never simp I don't play
I was taught keep your heart to yourself give it to the block give it to the gray
Gray skies gray water gray Reeboks but my soul still clean I pray
Imperial Beach living that life from the cradle to the pier till my hair turn gray

Bridge: Rap - spoken, no singing
I tried to love a woman but she couldn't hold me like the tide
I tried to leave this beach but the beach never left my mind
So I put a ring on the water put my name in the sand let it wash away
Married to the ocean Rascal life Imperial Beach till my dying day

Hook: Rap - no singing - double
619 in my palm, sand in my shoes, cold in my chest, we outside
Pier wood wet, midnight fog thick, tide coming up, we outside
Imperial Beach living that life, Rascal life, married to the ocean, no lie
South Bay taught me how to wait, how to watch, how to hide, how to survive

Outro: Rap
Hood on my back ocean on my chest married to the ocean
Rascal life Imperial Beach living that life Lil Kane
IB never simp married to the ocean
I am out my boi
