Lift Off
Jay-Z - Kanye West Lyrics

(All engines running)
We are ready to take off, all systems are good and we can proceed as planned.

We gon' take it to the moon, take it to the stars
We are aiming for the highest possible level of success and achievement, surpassing all previous limits.

How many people you know can take it this far?
Challenging the listener to consider how many people they know who have achieved the same level of success.

I'm supercharged
I am energized and driven to achieve great things.

We 'bout to take this whole thing to Mars (lift off)
Our ambitions are so great that we will not stop at the moon, but will continue on to the next level of achievement - Mars.

You don't know what we been through to make it this far
Acknowledging the challenges and obstacles faced on the path to success.

So many scars
Physical, emotional, and mental scars are the remnants of the struggles and difficulties overcome to reach this level of success.

(Lift off) lift off, takin' my coat off
Symbolically shedding any burdens or hindrances that may have held me back in the past, and preparing myself for the next chapter of success.

Showin' my tattoos, I'm such a showoff, huh
Celebrating personal achievements and displaying them proudly to the world, confident in my abilities and success.

I feel the pain and then rolled off
Accepting and overcoming the pain, hardships, and struggles faced on the way to success.

I got the whole city they about to go off
The success and ambition of myself and those around me is having a positive impact on the entire community and inspiring others to reach for success.

How many niggas with' me up and in this aisle?
Acknowledging the loyal and supportive team of people who have helped to achieve this level of success.

How many people wanna roll with me now?
Asking how many others want to join my team and be part of future success.

Like you know na na na, you know me by now
Assuming familiarity and recognition with my past successes and achievements, and using that as a foundation for future success.

Lift off, rappers hear watch the throne
Other rappers in the industry are envious and threatened by our success, and should take notice and pay attention.

They gon' be pissed off
Others may feel angry and resentful at our success and achievements.

Earth is boring to 'em
Those who are not aiming for great success may find the ordinary and mundane aspects of life unfulfilling and uninspiring.

Shit is making my dick soft
The lack of ambition and drive in others is a turn-off and unappealing.

When you Earnhart as me eventually you hit a big wall
Even the most successful people will face obstacles and challenges, and the reference to Earnhart suggests the possibility of a potentially fatal setback.

Five, four, three, two we need fuel, lift off
Counting down to takeoff and needing the necessary fuel to propel us further towards success and beyond.

(Twenty seconds and counting) (T-minus fifteen seconds, guidance is internal) (Twelve, eleven, ten, nine) (Ignition sequence start) (Six, five, four, three, two, one) (Zero, all engine running) (Lift off, we have a liftoff)
The countdown to takeoff and finally achieving our goals, with everyone and everything perfectly aligned to make it happen.

Now we gon', now we gon', now we gon', now we gon' (J-jump) Now we gon' take it to the moon Now we gon', now we gon' (J-j-jump) We gon' take it to the moon Take it to the stars (J-j-jump) We gon' take it to the moon Take it to the stars How many people you know can take it this far? Take it to the stars How many people you know can take it this far?
Repeating the theme of taking success to the highest level possible, with continued ambition to reach for the stars and beyond. Additionally, continuing the challenge to the listener to consider how many people they know who have achieved the same level of success.
