"Frank Ocean’s 'Wiseman' taps into the rawness of human nature, exploring themes like mortality, strength, and the blurred lines between good and evil. Originally written for 'Django Unchained,' it’s a poetic reflection on life’s messy realities, with lyrics that mix deep introspection and sharp imagery. The haunting refrain—'But your mother would be proud of you'—grounds the song in a sense of emotional vulnerability, while Frank’s lyrical depth and genre-blending soundscape make it one of his most underrated masterpieces."
