Lift Off
The Throne (Jay-Z and Kanye West) Lyrics

(All engines running)
The singers are ready to start the journey to the moon.

We gon' take it to the moon, take it to the stars
The singers are determined to reach the moon and stars.

How many people you know can take it this far?
The singers are proud of their achievements and wonder how many others have reached this level of success.

I'm supercharged
The artists are full of energy and motivation.

We 'bout to take this whole thing to Mars (lift off)
The artists are aiming to reach Mars and are ready to launch into space.

You don't know what we been through to make it this far
The singers have faced many challenges and endured pain to reach their current level of success.

So many scars
The singers have experienced significant hardships on their journey.

(Lift off) lift off, takin' my coat off
The artists are getting ready to launch into space and are shedding their protective layers.

Showin' my tattoos, I'm such a showoff, huh
The artists are confident and proud of their personal identity, and are not afraid to display it.

I feel the pain and then rolled off
The artists have experienced pain but have overcome it and moved on.

I got the whole city they about to go off
The singers have the support of their community and are inspiring others to take action.

How many niggas with' me up and in this aisle?
The artists are asking how many people are with them in their journey towards success.

How many people wanna roll with me now?
The singers are asking how many people want to join them in their journey.

Like you know na na na, you know me by now
The singers are confident that their reputation and character are well-known.

Lift off, rappers hear watch the throne
The singers are warning other rappers to pay attention to their power and success.

They gon' be pissed off
Other rappers may be jealous or angry about their success.

Earth is boring to 'em
Other rappers may feel like they have achieved everything there is to achieve on Earth.

Shit is making my dick soft
The boredom and lack of challenge is causing the singers to lose their motivation and drive.

When you Earnhart as me eventually you hit a big wall
Like Dale Earnhardt, a famous race car driver who died in a crash, the singers know that there are obstacles and risks in their journey.

Five, four, three, two we need fuel, lift off
Counting down to launch, the artists need fuel to take off.

(Twenty seconds and counting)
There are only twenty seconds left until launch.

(T-minus fifteen seconds, guidance is internal)
There are only fifteen seconds left until launch and the guidance system is set to internal control.

(Twelve, eleven, ten, nine)
The countdown to launch continues.

(Ignition sequence start)
The ignition sequence is starting to launch the spacecraft.

(Six, five, four, three, two, one)
The countdown to launch is nearing its end.

(Zero, all engine running)
The engines are running and the spacecraft is ready to launch.

(Lift off, we have a liftoff)
The spacecraft has launched and is airborne.

Now we gon', now we gon', now we gon', now we gon' (J-jump)
The artists are excited and ready to take action.

Now we gon' take it to the moon
The artists are determined to reach their goal of landing on the moon.

We gon', now we gon' (J-j-jump)
The singers are getting pumped up and ready to take action.

Take it to the stars (J-j-jump)
The singers are determined to reach even greater heights beyond the moon.

How many people you know can take it this far?
The artists are still proud of their accomplishments and still wondering how many others have achieved this level of success.

Take it to the stars
The artists are aiming for an even greater goal beyond the moon.

Now we gon', now we gon', now we gon', now we gon', now
The artists are getting ready to take action.
