Rockets
Lion Babe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blue tonic, James Harden, hit 'em with the step back (tell the bitch step back)
Ironic, take a mixer, bring a heart away back, it was harder way back
Niggas harbor hate, hatin' niggas hard to hate back
New bitch, new flows, nigga, automate that
All the way black like Sudan in the summer
Hundred bands in the belt, I ain't dancing for nothing
Laying in the lands of my ancestry
Got the sand in my hair and the beach next to me
Nigga, please step to me
Have to son these niggas, have to run these niggas
Had to cut some off like a vasectomy
When the beat get to me make it reset
Moma+guy met a shawty at your party
She was almost like purified water, rurified air
I could die in her arms and be mummified there
Verified facts what I speak them, you should peep them
Certified packs when I chief them
We lit, we lit
We lit, we lit (yeah)
We lit, we lit
We lit, we lit (yeah)
All these spaceships and rockets (ah)
Got me feelin' high (ah)
On my spaceship I'm rockin' (ah)
Fall into the sky (ah)
We lit, we lit (ah)
Fly high like I'm NASA (ah)
Move my hips like a salsa (ah)
I'm like butter on a lobster (ah)
We lit, we lit (ah)
Got me singin' like I'm Chaka (ah)
Moonwalking in mi casa (ah)
Young queen Cleopatra (ah)
We lit, we lit
We lit, we lit (yeah)
We lit, we lit
We lit, we lit (yeah)
We lit, we lit
Can't go with my rasta
Merengue with the lobster
We eatin' fishes with the pasta
We lit, we lit (ah)
Been feelin' like a popstar (ah)
Having dreams of a rockstar (rockstar, rockstar, ah)
The young king with the rap star (ah)
We lit, we lit (yeah)
We lit, we lit (yeah)
We lit, we lit (yeah, yeah)
We lit, we lit (yeah)
All these spaceships and rockets (ah)
Got me feelin' high (ah)
On my spaceship I'm rockin' (ah)
Fall into the sky (ah)
The lyrics to Lion Babe's song Rockets seem to be a tribute to the success and greatness of the artist. She uses metaphors such as โall the way black like Sudan in the summerโ to depict her skin color and ethnicity, as well as โBlue tonic, James Harden, hit 'em with the step backโ to reference renowned basketball player James Harden's signature move. The line โNiggas harbor hate, hatin' niggas hard to hate backโ could be reading as the artist acknowledging that people could be envious of her abilities, but she simply does not have the time or energy to be bothered by them.
The song's plot revolves around the artist's success and the newfound attention she is receiving, as suggested by the chorus โAll these spaceships and rockets / Got me feelin' high / On my spaceship I'm rockin' / Fall into the skyโ. The repeated phrase โWe lit, we litโ serves to emphasize the celebrations and euphoria surrounding her success. Overall, this song seeks to evoke the feelings of confidence and contentment in someone who has tasted the fruits of their hard work.
