Eightball - Starships And Rockets lyrics
rate meChorus:(Randy)<br />
<br />
Starships and Rockets in a world that don't give a damn<br />
Bullets fly past me, who can I trust<br />
A player doing the best I can<br />
If you set yo' mind free baby<br />
Maybe you'll understand<br />
Starships and Rockets, in a world that don't give a damn<br />
<br />
Verse 1 (Eightball):<br />
<br />
As the sunsets, I take off my specs<br />
Sit down and collect, my thoughts of another day in the past<br />
How it don't last like it use to last<br />
It's common place to get yo' ass splattered from a gun blast<br />
Not trying to preach, just trying to reach out and feel me<br />
I chose the righteous path and now people are out to kill me<br />
Killing myself, advertising suicide<br />
Explaining formulas for black on black genicides<br />
In other words I apologize<br />
Not for telling the truth, but about the lifestyle I glorified<br />
Now everlying I have heard and seen much shit<br />
But through it all man, I've always been a lyrisct<br />
>From high school, to a hole in a wall, shotting pool<br />
On top of the world, and a nigga still paying dues<br />
Singing the blues, cause saturday morning mom bumped it<br />
Love and happiness, Al Green and the Trumpets<br />
Rolled up in my brain with that hay and hen<br />
Using God giving talents, slanging wealth and sin<br />
Lost in the clouds, drowing in that 80 proof<br />
And all around me, my world is turning to<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
<br />
Verse 2 (Eightball):<br />
<br />
Look at the asteroids wizzing past you<br />
Video taping everything with they cameras flashing<br />
They caught me dashing out the studio, with the 2 inch tape<br />
>From the hood to stage it just ain't no escape<br />
>From the devil, no matter who you are it's hard to beat 'em<br />
>From the TV that 'cha watching to the food that 'cha eating<br />
We been jackomentally, by the enemy<br />
And sometime the enemy could end up being kind to me<br />
Space Age pimp flexing, detectixing plexing<br />
Friends turn to foes trying to be slicker than Westin<br />
Lessons get taught by the one's fucking up constantly<br />
Pressured by they peers, distracted by they eyes and ears<br />
Nigga's sell they souls trying to get the goals in<br />
End up wonderin' were the bump in road end<br />
Then again time won't stop tickin' away<br />
You won't get shit if you don't get on up and get it today<br />
New shit turn to old shit quick<br />
While we killing each other trying to impress a bitch<br />
Lost in the clouds, drowing in that 80 proof<br />
And all around us, our world is turning to<br />
<br />
Hook (Randy):<br />
<br />
Starships and rockets in a world that don't give a damn<br />
Bullets fly past me who can I trust<br />
A player doing the best I can<br />
If you set yo' mind free baby, maybe you'll understand (what)<br />
Starships and rockets, in a world that don't give a damn, yeah, yeah<br />
Don't 'cha know we got starships, and rockets<br />
Got bullets all around me, yeah<br />
A Can ya feel me, can ya' feel me<br />
We're living, livin'<br />
On Pluto, and Mars, and Mercury<br />
Starships, and Rockets<br />
Say everybody hear what I saaaaaaaay<br />
<br />
Chorus
