Hand me a towel, I'm dirty dancing by myself

Gone off tabs of that acid, form me a circle, watch my Jagger

Might lose my jacket and hit a solo, one time

We too loud in public, them police turned down the function

Now we outside, and the timing's perfect

Forgot to tell you, gotta tell you how much I vibe with you

And we don't gotta be solo

Now stay away from highways

My eyes like them red lights

Right now, I prefer yellow

Redbone, so mellow

Fuck 'round, be cuttin' you

Think we were better off solo

I got that act right in the Windy City that night

No trees to blow through, but blow me and I owe you

Two grams when the sunrise

Smokin' good, rollin' solo

[Refrain: Frank Ocean]

Solo (Solo)

Solo (Solo)

S-solo (Solo)

S-solo (Solo)

[Chorus: Frank Ocean]

It's Hell on Earth, and the city's on fire

Inhale, in Hell, there's Heaven

There's a bull and a matador dueling in the sky

Inhale, in Hell, there's Heaven

[Post-Chorus: Frank Ocean]

Ah, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh

[Refrain: Frank Ocean & Jazmine Sullivan]

Solo (Ah)

Solo

Solo (Ah)

Solo

[Verse 2: Frank Ocean]

I'm skippin' showers and switchin' socks, sleepin' good and long

Bones feelin' dense as fuck, wish a nigga would cross

And catch a solo, on time

White leaf on my boxers, green leaf turn to vapors for the low

And that mean cheap, 'cause ain't shit free and I know it

Even love ain't, 'cause this nut cost, that clinic killed my soul

But you gotta hit the pussy raw though

Now your baby mama ain't so vicious

All she want is her picket fence

And you protest, and you picket sign

But them courts won't side with you

Won't let you fly solo, yeah

I wanted that act right in Colorado that night

I brought trees to blow through, but it's just me and no you

Stayed up 'til my phone died

Smokin' big, rollin' solo

[Chorus: Frank Ocean]

It's Hell on Earth, and the city's on fire

Inhale, in Hell, there's Heaven

There's a bull and a matador dueling in the sky

Inhale, in Hell, there's Heaven (Ooh)

[Post-Chorus: Frank Ocean & Jazmine Sullivan]

Ah, oh, oh, oh (Ah, oh, oh)

Oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh (Oh, oh)

[Refrain: Frank Ocean]

Solo (Ah, ah)

Solo (Woo)

Solo (Woo, by myself)

Solo

Solo (Nah)

Solo (Ah, ooh)

Solo (Woo, nah, ah)

Solo
