Spaceships
Rejjie Snow Ebenezer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a dreamer, paranoid sleeper
She sold drugs and hugs, she gave Chiba
I kept love and guns, I went deeper
I loved hoes and drink, she loved sneakers
A litte bit of you I'm swimming in
A little bit of love I'm gobbling
A litte bit of light my crucifix
And I know that she gotta be celibate
Shine down and keep my mind free
No shine now get on two knees
Don't jump the rope that saved me
Don't leap I know I know me
The holy tabernacle shall bleed
When I dance hot nigga wanna lash on me
When the stars unite my spirit
I will climb those stairs I will proclaim Christian

A lotta y'all dumb overrated
A lotta y'all be looking like David
A lotta y'all can't spell basic
A lotta y'all know my fragrance

No I'm not your ordinary
Girl you know what's good
So why do you get carried away my love
I just wanna know what the head like
Call me yo papi day and night
But I'll be gone in the morning

Where's life with a bag full of lemons
What if trees grew rings no tell me
Don't catch my mind it's hidden
I will smack that (ooh) I will play that victim
What if love was the strength in my bones
What if grass was replaced by the snow
What if birds came chirping by the ledge
What if slaves ran free but instead
You shot the ball I laid up
I hate my own name I hate my own guts
I don't like you I don't want to
I don't need love so we came through
Every single Michael J record
You was playing Billie Jean I remember
I dance you run I don't play
Got sick and ate my own brain

A lotta y'all dumb overrated
A lotta y'all be looking like David
A lotta y'all can't spell basic
A lotta y'all know my fragrance

No I'm not your ordinary
Girl you know what's good
So why do you get carried away my love
I just wanna know what the head like
Call me yo papi day and night
But I'll be gone in the morning

I don't know
I'm not your ordinary
Girl you know what's good
So why do you get carried away my love
I just wanna know what the head like
Call me yo papi day and night
But I'll be gone in the morning

(Here we go!)
You know what's good
Carried away




I just wanna know what the head like
Call me yo papi day and night

Overall Meaning

The song "Spaceships" by Rejjie Snow and Dana Williams is a thoughtful and introspective track that explores the contrast between two lovers who have different priorities in life. The song opens with the artists introducing themselves as "a dreamer" and "a paranoid sleeper," respectively. They then describe their differences in lifestyle: while the female character "sold drugs and hugs" and "loved sneakers," the male character "kept love and guns" and "loved hoes and drink." Despite these differences, they both have something in common: a desire for something more. The male character explains he's "swimming in" the female character's essence and he feels incomplete without a "little bit of love."


The song then transitions to a series of what-if scenarios, that ask thought-provoking questions. "What if trees grew rings?" "What if birds chirped by the ledge?" These scenarios illustrate both the artist's imagination and a lack of understanding of the world around them. The artists ultimately realize that they are not "ordinary" and are looking for something more. Even though they have a physical connection, it's temporary, and the male character knows that he "will be gone in the morning." The song ends with a repeated request from the male character to "call me yo papi day and night." It's unclear if this request is purely sexual or if it's a deeper plea for someone to understand him.
