Starships

Nicki Minaj · Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded — The Re-Up [2012]

Let's go to the beach, each

Let's go get away

They say, what they gonna say?

Have a drink, clink, found the bud light

Bad b-tches like me, is hard to come by

The patron on, let's go get it on

The zone on, yes, I'm in the zone

Is it two, three? Leave a good tip

I'mma blow off my money and don't give two sh-ts



I'm on the floor, floor

I love to dance

So give me more more, till I can't stand

Get on the floor, floor

Like it's your last chance

If you want more, more

Then here I am



Starships were meant to fly

Hands up, and touch the sky

Can't stop, 'cause we're so high

Let's do this one more time



Starships were meant to fly

Hands up, and touch the sky

Let's do this one last time

Can't stop...



(We're higher than a motherf-ck-r)

(We're higher than a motherf-ck-r)

(We're higher than a motherf-ck-r)



Jump in my hoopty hoopty hoop

I own that

And I ain't paying my rent this month

I owe that

But f-ck who you want, and f-ck who you like

Dance our life, there's no end in sight



Twinkle, twinkle, little star



Now everybody let me hear you say ray ray ray

Now spend all your money 'cause they pay pay pay

And if you're a G, you a G,G,G!

My name is Onika, you can call me Nicki



Get on the floor, floor

Like it's your last chance

If you want more, more

Then here I am



Starships were meant to fly

Hands up, and touch the sky

Can't stop, 'cause we're so high

Let's do this one more time



Starships were meant to fly

Hands up, and touch the sky

Let's do this one last time

Can't stop...



(We're higher than a motherf-ck-r)

(We're higher than a motherf-ck-r)

(We're higher than a motherf-ck-r)



Starships were meant to fly

Hands up, and touch the sky

Can't stop, 'cause we're so high

Let's do this one more time



Starships were meant to fly

Hands up, and touch the sky

Let's do this one last time

Can't stop...



(We're higher than a motherf-ck-r)

(We're higher than a motherf-ck-r)

(We're higher than a motherf-ck-r)
