Starship
Shotta Spence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lean back in my starship, as the clouds pass
I could see the whole damn city as I look back
Staring through my rearview the planet fade away to black
Lean back in my starship, let back the moon roof
Soaring high over the turbulence as I cruise smooth
If I never make it back to Earth keep me in your heart
It's a bird, it′s a plane, its a eagle
No its young Shotta in a 2-seater
You will never catch him you will never beat him
No looking back on my way to freedom
I lead the pack, young Spence lead 'em
He was born different look how they treat him
I gave the kids something to believe in
Cut off the fakes I had to leave them
Lean back in my starship, light speed fast
Lean back in my starship, as the clouds pass
I could see the whole damn city as I look back
Staring through my rearview the planet fade away to black
Lean back in my starship, damn I'm moving fast
Stars all around the cockpit, bouncing off the glass
I can see the whole damn city as I look back
Staring through my rearview the planet fade away to black
Hit the gas, I′m flying anywhere I want to go
Far from all the hatred, evil all across the globe
Close my eyes I′m riding, yeah you know I'm in my zone
Earth is getting smaller through my spaceship window
The lyrics of Shotta Spence's song, Starship, describe the artist's perspective as he sits back and looks back at his city from the comfort of his starship. Shotta Spence is riding in his starship, moving faster than the speed of light, watching the planet gradually diminish into darkness. With his moonroof open, he looks at the whole darn city as the clouds pass, and he's traveling through the turbulence with ease. Shotta Spence declares that if he never comes back to earth, we should keep him in our hearts, and when we look up to the night sky, our eyes should fall on him as he becomes the brightest star.
In the second verse, Shotta likens himself to a bird, an eagle that is born different and treated alternately. He's flying in a two-seater and is leading the pack to their freedom. He gave people, particularly the children, something to believe in, but had to leave behind the fakes who were holding him back. In the chorus, he affirms his speed as he leans back in his starship and views the whole city from the windows, and though he's leaving earth behind, he's happy to be moving through the universe so fast.

Lean back in my starship, let back the moon roof
Soaring high over the turbulence as I cruise smooth
If I never make it back to Earth keep me in your heart
When you look up in the night sky I’ll be the brightest star
It’s a bird, it's a plane, its a eagle
No its young Shotta in a 2-seater
You will never catch him you will never beat him
No looking back on my way to freedom
I lead the pack, young Spence lead 'em
He was born different look how they treat him

Lean back in my starship, damn I’m moving fast
Stars all around the cockpit, bouncing off the glass
I can see the whole damn city as I look back
Staring through my rearview the planet fade away to black
