Did anyone ever legitimately listen to this and think if Frank meant for this song to be sung from a woman's point of view? Perhaps Jenny's?
"Forrest Gump, you run my mind boy
Running on my mind boy
Forrest Gump
I know you Forrest
I know you wouldn't hurt a beetle
But you're so buff, and so strong
I'm nervous Forrest"
Jenny loved Forrest which is why he was "running" through her mind and the concluding word "boy" sounds like something Jenny would say. Only Jenny would know he "wouldn't hurt a beetle" and say he's "so buff and so strong"
This is his first song directed at a male since he came out of the closet. If you feel uncomfortable with that like I do, we can just believe your take on it.

I guess you didn't know that Frank Ocean is gay. So this song about Forrest Gump is a whole metaphor for his relationship which he had when he was in High School.

I agree. I think it has a double-meaning. On one hand, it's Jenny's point of view. At the same time, it's a metaphor for his first love in high school. Great song anyway.

Or maybe you shouldn't assume if a guy is singing a love song towards another boy then he's singing it from the point of view of a girl...
