Starships And Rockets Lyrics - Eightball & Mjg

Chorus:(Randy) 

Starships and Rockets in a world that don't give a damn 

Bullets fly past me, who can I trust 

A player doing the best I can 

If you set yo' mind free baby 

Maybe you'll understand 

Starships and Rockets, in a world that don't give a damn 

Verse 1 (Eightball): 

As the sunsets, I take off my specs 

Sit down and collect, my thoughts of another day in the past 

How it don't last like it use to last 

It's common place to get yo' ass splattered from a gun blast 

Not trying to preach, just trying to reach out and feel me 

I chose the righteous path and now people are out to kill me 

Killing myself, advertising suicide 

Explaining formulas for black on black genicides 

In other words I apologize 

Not for telling the truth, but about the lifestyle I glorified 

Now everlying I have heard and seen much shit 

But through it all man, I've always been a lyrisct 

>From high school, to a hole in a wall, shotting pool 

On top of the world, and a nigga still paying dues 

Singing the blues, cause saturday morning mom bumped it 

Love and happiness, Al Green and the Trumpets 

Rolled up in my brain with that hay and hen 

Using God giving talents, slanging wealth and sin 

Lost in the clouds, drowing in that 80 proof 

And all around me, my world is turning to 

Chorus 

Verse 2 (Eightball): 

Look at the asteroids wizzing past you 

Video taping everything with they cameras flashing 

They caught me dashing out the studio, with the 2 inch tape 

>From the hood to stage it just ain't no escape 

>From the devil, no matter who you are it's hard to beat 'em 

>From the TV that 'cha watching to the food that 'cha eating 

We been jackomentally, by the enemy 

And sometime the enemy could end up being kind to me 

Space Age pimp flexing, detectixing plexing 

Friends turn to foes trying to be slicker than Westin 

Lessons get taught by the one's fucking up constantly 

Pressured by they peers, distracted by they eyes and ears 

Nigga's sell they souls trying to get the goals in 

End up wonderin' were the bump in road end 

Then again time won't stop tickin' away 

You won't get shit if you don't get on up and get it today 

New shit turn to old shit quick 

While we killing each other trying to impress a bitch 

Lost in the clouds, drowing in that 80 proof 

And all around us, our world is turning to 

Hook (Randy): 

Starships and rockets in a world that don't give a damn 

Bullets fly past me who can I trust 

A player doing the best I can 

If you set yo' mind free baby, maybe you'll understand (what) 

Starships and rockets, in a world that don't give a damn, yeah, yeah 

Don't 'cha know we got starships, and rockets 

Got bullets all around me, yeah 

A Can ya feel me, can ya' feel me 

We're living, livin' 

On Pluto, and Mars, and Mercury 

Starships, and Rockets 

Say everybody hear what I saaaaaaaay
