Ocean To Ocean Lyrics

[Intro: Pitbull]
They tried to get rid of me
But from ocean to ocean
They gon' have to deal with me

[Verse 1: Pitbull]
I been overlooked, slept on
Stepped on, left for dead

Always against all odds like Pac said
I'm the living Great Gatsby
But these boys are watching quick and disappear like Banksy
From ocean to ocean, sea to sea
I'm something that you gotta see

[Chorus: Rhea]
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had


[Verse 2: Pitbull]
I practice what I preach, but I ain't gon' lie
I still got love for these streets, 305 'til I die
Still got love for these beats, that's why I spit this fire
You can catch me on a beach, 'specially on the islands
Took over my city, now it's time for the world
I live it, they rap it, there's a difference, girl
Getting paid more than athletes, man, life is sweet
GM on the status, Papo, watch me, (Woo)
[Chorus: Rhea]
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (Woo)

[Verse 3: Pitbull]
I got the world on my shoulder, still quick on my feet
Nas say sleep is the cousin of death so I don't sleep
These boys act like they hard but we know that they sweet
They wouldn't bust a grape at a food fight, Papo, please

Went from rapping with them boys with a mouth full of gold
To hanging with Slim Jr., down in Mexico
Take it with a grain of salt, and a, pound of gold
The game is to be sold, and not told, let's go

[Chorus: Rhea]
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Genius Annotation

“Ocean To Ocean” is a song by Pitbull and special guest Rhea, which samples “Africa” by Toto. The track acts as the promotional single for the soundtrack of the DC film, Aquaman, released on December 14, 2018.

Small Spoiler for Aquaman under the cut

A song about triumph and overwhelming success, “Ocean to Ocean” appears to mostly be about Pitbull – however, its first intro and first verse could easily be applied to the protagonist and titular character of Aquaman himself, Arthur Curry.

While also the movie’s promotional single, the song also makes its appearance in the film itself, when Arthur and Mera arrive at the Sahara Desert to look for clues regarding an ancient artifact (hence the use of Toto’s “Africa”).
