Original artwork, not a still
I'm from Miami-fuckin'-Beach and you wanna show me the ocean, huh? And what about sun, does it ever shine around here, or is this smog around all the time?

Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker invokes Miami Beach to dismiss the novelty of being shown the ocean. The complaint then shifts from familiar scenery to the apparent absence of sunshine. Sarcastic questions turn the exchange into a comparison between home and a place that has failed to impress.
