“You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” ― Marcus Aurelius.
Self Control adalah lagu yang dirilis Frank Ocean pada 20 Agustus 2016 lalu. Dalam lagu ini, Frank menggambarkan hubungannya dengan seseorang yang perlahan-lahan berantakan. Dalam intro, Frank menampilkan efek vokal nada tinggi yang digunakannya di seluruh album. Suara melengking itu menunjukkan bahwa Frank sedang mengenang peristiwa yang terjadi di masa mudanya.
By the way, Frank Ocean beberapa hari lalu baru aja membuat penggemarnya kecewa. Jadi, di panggung Coachella 2023, dia yang jadi headliners justru tampil via live streaming. Jelas aja penonton kecewa karena emang dia jadi salah satu yang ditunggu penampilannya.
Daripada kesel ye kan, mending dengerin lagu Self Control dari Frank Ocean ya. Inget… self control hehehe…
Lirik Lagu Self Control - Frank Ocean
Poolside convo about your summer last night, ooh yeah
About your summer last night
Ain't give you no play, mmm
Could I make you shive last night?
Could I make you shy on the last night, last night?
Could we make it in? Do we have time?
I'll be the boyfriend in your wet dreams tonight
Noses on a rail, little virgin wears the white
You cut your hair, but you used to live a blonded life
Wish I was there, wish we'd grown up on the same advice
And our time was right
Keep a place for me, for me
I'll sleep between y'all, it's nothing
It's nothing, it's nothing
Keep a place for me, for me
Now and then, you miss it, sounds make you cry
Some nights, you dance with tears in your eyes
I came to visit, 'cause you see me like a UFO
That's like never, 'cause I made you use your self-control
And you made me lose my self-control, my self-control
Keep a place for me, for me
I'll sleep between y'all, it's nothing
Keep a place for me
It's nothing, it's nothing
It's nothing, it's nothing
Sometimes you'll miss it
And the sound will make you cry
And some nights, you're dancing
With tears in your eyes
I, I, I know you gotta leave, leave, leave
Take down some summertime
Give up, just tonight, 'night, 'night
I, I, I know you got someone comin'
You're spittin' game, know you got it
I, I, I know you gotta leave, leave, leave
Take down some summertime
Give up, just tonight, 'night, 'night
I, I, I know you got someone comin'
You're spittin' game, know you got it (Yeah)
I, I, I know you gotta leave, leave, leave
Take down some summertime
Give up, just tonight, 'night, 'night
I, I, I know you got someone comin'
You're spittin' game, know you got it
