The Mothership
Astro Safari USA Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bow down to the Mothership

Do what, you do, cover me, YouTube
I'm too nice too soon
So Kung F-U

Space space space space

You haters don't know I bounce back, pogo
Gold ring I'm frodo, you clownin', Bozo

Space space space space

I'm fuelin' up my rocket whip
I'm on that interplanetary tip
Asteroids and comets
I'm eatin' planets
What you say doesn't matter bitch
Like bro I'm not your relative
But I'm relatively dangerous
I got scissors in my hands, runnin' with my pants down
Under a ladder giving a high five to black cat

Shout out to the Mothership
Bow down to the Mothership
Praise be to the Aliens
Save us all
We must stop the syndacate
Politics too corrupt
All hail the Mothership, the Mothership

Code red, code blue, smoke green, I have to
We goin' to space we outta this place
Sky mall mag with a moon view
Space space space space
You let yo radio tune you
I'm that shit, prune juice
You do what you supposed to because your momma told ya
Space space space space

Suicides on the rocketship
I'm super galactic rich
And I'm never gonna quit how tough can it get
Now that everybody all up in my shit
I'm takin' over the vatican, they be like "oh my god he's back again"
I take a bath with a toaster, a toast, it's over
an overdose of voltage to shock me in culture

Shout out to the Mothership
Bow down to the Mothership
Praise be to the Aliens
Save us all
We must stop the syndacate
Politics too corrupt
All hail the Mothership, the Mothership

All you fake rappers gotta quit
I'm not trying to embellish it
But every time I hear you spit
Yo rhymes make me sick
I wanna jump off of a bridge
You better hide yo kids
I'm coming out swinging with a right cross
I'm Mike Tyson with the lights off
Where you gonna run to boss
I'm calm you don't wanna see me when I'm pissed off

Shout out to the Mothership
Bow down to the Mothership
Praise be to the Aliens
Save us all
We must stop the syndacate

Politics too corrupt
All hail the Mothership, the Mothership
