Apparently Frank is falling in love with Cleopatra again but “your love aint free no more. He is an unemployed pimp living in a motel, and Cleopatra is a stripper/hooker that keeps his bills paid by working at a club called The Pyramid. In the latter half, a bit more slow and sexy, Frank Ocean and his woman are reincarnated into individuals far, far from royalty. Track 10 on channel ORANGE This is Frank Ocean’s near 10 minute long tale of the ancient history of the Black woman, and her gradual decline from a Queen in her homeland to. Turns out, Cleopatra was having an affair and when the Pharaoh finds this out, she kills herself. His queen, Cleopatra, has run away from him, as he was fooled into believing she was stolen by a thief. In its first half, up tempo and groovy, Frank Ocean and his woman are ancient Egyptian royalty. Contrarily, the second half is extremely modern, referring to strippers, pimps, and prostitutes. The first half of the song makes references to the legendary story of Cleopatra and even the bible. It’s the peak of the album, a ten minute joint that has both futuristic and classic appeal. PYRAMIDS is the first officially released single from Channel Orange, and the one that Frank Ocean will have the most fun performing at shows (or so he said via his Twitter account).
