Genius Annotation

A short cover of the song “Fertilizer” by James Fauntleroy. As written in Rap Genius' piece for Esquire:

[Fertilizer is] A short interlude that opens up the darker themes on the album. Over what sounds like a 1950s radio program and matching static, Ocean begs his love not to treat him like the titular bullshit. But the sorrow in his voice and the painful laugh track tell us he’s not having much luck.
