Whip ain't got no gas tank but it still got woodgrain

from Frank Ocean – Pyramids Lyrics on Rap Genius

Meaning

This same BMW station wagon was seen in the visuals Frank released along with this song. The impracticality and emphasis on style over function sets up the narrator as someone who is impulsive and materialistic. Not exactly a strong African king…

Also could be a reference to the Tesla Model S, an electric car which Frank pre-ordered.

Also a metaphor for his relationship with her — sex but no real life applicability, like a car with a shit gas tank but nice interior.
