Ugh (ugh)
Yeah (yeah)
(Aye-Yō aye-Yō)
Ugh (ugh)
Eighty Babys up
(Eighty babies up)
Ugh (ugh)
I dose this nigga (ma nigga)

Past 9 to 5
Player in my sleep I shine, (shining)
President and CEO to apple one time
Rolled around in a big Ol car
Big stunners like a big Ol star
Big block vroom that too(vroom)
I wake up and got to fill these shoes
Playing the field that the majors do
Hit hard pitch faster
Damn
The kids a sensation, (out of there)
Going out the park
There's a standing ovation
Grind hard, (grind hard)
Fighting a drug charge
Judge asks for ma auto graph
Just mug hard
I roll hard I go hard, (hard)
Just to go harder
Life as a rock star, (star)
Same life as a baller
You should see
The money in the wallet
Plenty grams left
And I already sparked it
Took it ta da plane
Taped up in the arm pit
Can't smell it
cause how its wrapped
But its strong shit
(Strong shit)
Rock hard rock star, (ma nigga)
Live amongst the stars
But a car can't reach these stars
(You can't reach these stars)
Got to buy you a rocket ship
So, you can fly you a rocket ship
(A rocket ship, ugh huh)
Rock hard rock star
Live amongst the stars
But a car can't reach these stars
Got to buy you a rocket ship,
(Rocket)
So, you can fly you a rocket ship
(Rocket ship)
Poppa was a rolling stone
Mama was a gypsy, (hey mama)
Use to run the game in the sippy
Back in the days of the hippies
Had the same vibe
Gladys Knight & The Pips b
Simply
Filled to the edges of Ya pages
Words of inspiration
Worthy of amazement
Got cha
Every step took is proper
Hopscotch
Around the whole world
Here I come
Limousine's mansions
Privet jets and such
Trying to have
All the rich guy stuff
First got to be an astronaut
Fly higher till Ya casket drop
Moonwalk
Till Ya Martians rock
(Martian's rock)
Rock star rap star
Driving a fast car
Handlebars
A parole at large
A new charge
New bids
See um in the distance
North 880
South 101 up on a mission
(Ugh, ugh) (nigga)
Rock hard rock star
Live amongst the stars
But a car can't reach these stars
(Can't reach these stars)
Got to buy you a rocket ship
So, you can fly you a rocket ship
(Ugh-huh, ugh-huh)
Rocket ship ugh huh
Rock hard rock star
Live amongst the stars
But a car can't reach these stars
(Can't reach these stars)
Got to buy you a rocket ship

Rocket ship
Brand new flavor
Whole new twist, (new)
Tast like fame little citrus
7up yours
The words make cents
Cents make dollars
Dollars pay rent
(Yeah)
Dancing in Jehovah kingdom
(Let's go)
Got a little papa
But I still drink Seagram's
(I love it)
Taking shots
But ma body aint bleeding
Vision blurred up
And I think
I'm barely breathing
Heating up
But the grind is raw
Eyes focused with an eager plan
Locked on like an egal man
Go hard cause disaster
Filling up the matrass
Camble chicken sitting in the cabinet
Baby when I rap its fantastic
When I blast off
The horizon, I'm past it
(YEE-haw)
Baby when I rap its fantastic
When I blast off the horizon
I'm past it
(WHOO-Ow)
Rock hard rock star
Live amongst the stars
But a car can't reach these stars
(Can't reach these stars)
Got to buy you a rocket ship
So, you can fly you a rocket ship
(Ugh-huh, ugh-huh)
Rocket ship ugh huh
Rock hard rock star
Live amongst the stars
But a car can't reach these stars
(Can't reach these stars)
Got to buy you a rocket ship
(Rocket)
So, you can fly you a rocket ship




Rocket ship
(Rocket ship, rocket ship)
