Welcome to flight 909
Taking you on a journey

Steve Aoki, Lil Jon
Laidback Luke
Are you ready?
Ready for takeoff
We hit turbulence

What a rush
Yeah

Ready for takeoff
Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up

The lyrics to Laidback Luke feat. Steve Aoki & Lil Jon's song Turbulence (Sidney Samson Remix) revolve around taking the listener on a journey of excitement and thrill. The song sets off with an announcement welcoming the passengers to flight 909 and introducing the three captains, Steve Aoki, Lil Jon, and Laidback Luke, who will take them on an electrifying ride around the world. The chorus builds up the anticipation by asking if the listeners are ready for takeoff and then hits full throttle with the command to go.
The bridge of the song mentions hitting turbulence, which is metaphorical for the ups and downs that one can face in life. However, the song encourages us to embrace the rough phases and enjoy the thrill of the ride. The repetition of "higher" emphasizes the concept of reaching new heights, and the chorus brings the energy and excitement back up again.
Overall, the lyrics of Turbulence are meant to be taken as an invitation to let loose, live in the moment, and enjoy the ride, even when things get bumpy.

+KrisRaps you are Totally right 😏😎
@Voltaic314
i'm convinced his whole career is just show up in people's songs and shout random known phrases that he always says and he contributes no musical value to their actual songs. lol
@SkywardKing
MPGaming9000 got him mixed up with DJ Khaled. Lil Jon is an actual producer.
@x2ceyez
Lil Jon really showed his immense lyrical talent on this exquisite track with Mr. Luke and Sir Aoki. One might say it was the closest this era has came to a recreation of a Shakespeare work of art.
