ocean terminal - kxng crooked & joell ortiz lyrics

[hook]
welcome, welcome
welcome, welcome

[verse 1: joell ortiz]
uh
see for everyone who made it, there’s a million more of us who deflated when the air came out of what we thought would be great
and shoot for the stars become the next superstar and be famous
don’t follow your dreams, chase it
and make sure no one takes it away from you
but not all of us have that luxury
and due to circumstances we navigating uncomfortably
and some of thesе decisions that we make for thе moment and
show up suddenly
then bite you down the line like a fish in the ocean’s currency
before you know it, you see your dreams in a distance
climbing over the horizon that ship sailed and you missed it
feels like treading water, doing the things that you gotta
not doing what you wanna
a world that you want no part of
see this for every hoop star around the way that ain’t go to the a
for every karaoke singer that blows you away
amazing must be what it’s quite like to be you
we never needed all them bright lights to see you
welcome

[hook]
welcome, welcome
welcome, welcome

[chorus: jeweliet]
you arrived
take a look around
this where everything that’s ever lost can be found
and they find their way to ocean terminal

[verse 2: kxng crooked]
i seen him at ocean terminal with his notebook, scribbling in the page
filled with a little rage cause now he’s middle*aged
got the grays just chilling up in this waves as he gazed
at a kid dribbling in this j’s reminiscing on days
he was younger full of hunger
wanted to be a rap star
back when he was twenty, now he’s sixty maybe older
and to tell the truth, i don’t think i’m as old as his raps are
he been writing since hip*hip was in a baby stroller
talking circa melle mel, grandmaster caz and ’em
he used to imagine going on tour having a blast with them
but that’s before he got jasmine pregnant on accident
rap isn’t paying the bills and jasmine is having twins
to put his pen down that was real hard
but he had to get a quote*on*quote, real job
time flew by now he’s retired with grand kids
he picked up his notebook again, let that man live

hey let me hear something old man, what you got over there old timer
welcome, welcome
old timer? you crazy youngin’
come here let me show you how we used to do it

[chorus: jeweliet]
you arrived
take a look around
this where everything that’s ever lost can be found
dreams don’t die, they just re*route
and they find their way to ocean terminal

[verse 3: lin*manuel miranda]
opportunity knocks, but it’s locked from the outside
you crack open the box, where your fears and your doubts hide
prep your system for shocks, and on every decision
let these motherf*ckers kick rocks, if they can’t see the vision
because there isn’t no competition, you did you’re top position
your mission’s accomplished, isn’t it? listen your job is finished
think of the warriors you used to protest and picket with
think of the kids back home you used to sing can i kick it with
think of those golden moments you were hoping to capture
think of your narrow focus, then open the aperture
the greatest lie that you could tell yourself is that you did it by yourself
now look around beside yourself you see
the folks who loved you picked the lock when opportunity was knocking your community was rocking with you, providence was watching
bring them with you, deep down you’ve always known
n0body makes it home to ocean terminal alone
welcome
[hook]
welcome, welcome
welcome, welcome

[chorus: jeweliet]
you arrived
take a look around
this where everything that’s ever lost can be found
dreams don’t die, they just re*route
and they find their way to ocean terminal
