Nicki Minaj – Starships lyrics
(RedOne)

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 bitches like me, is hard to come by
The patron own, let's go get it on
The zone own, yes, I'm in the zone
Is it two, three? Leave a good tip
I'ma blow off my money and don't give two shits


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
Hands up...

(We're higher than a motherfucker) (x3)

Jump in my hoopty hoopty hoop, I own that
And I ain't paying my rent this month, I owe that
But fuck who you want, and fuck 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 motherfucker) (x3)

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 motherfucker) (x5)

    Dear people who loves nicki minaj, my name (my made up name) is isabellers. I like nicki minaj because her songs have rapping lines which is what I wanna sing. I wanna be a rapper. I may not be chatterbox and I don't really know what to say to people besides hi. Music is like third to oxygen. Well, first ther's oxygen, then love, then music. My fave kind of music is rap. And that's what I love about nicki minaj. I fonly she copuld read this. But I don't she could because she might be busy of songs. But I also don't like her because of her bad words. I can't handle bad words.

    Hi everyone out there and my name is antika sidhu and I really love nicky minaj and she really inspires me too swear and sing. But she scares my sister cuz she has six different types of alter ego's and she is scared that nicki minaj is going to haunt her. She is really scared of roman and she just told me that she is scared of barbie too. While I was writing this she just farted on me and it stinks.

    I think the meaning of starships is that,
    nicki wants everyone to feel like this is the last moment of there lives, and that they can do whatever they want. Like, I ain't paying my rent this month, and also: they say, what they gonna say? Nicki minaj wants to get away, have a drink or two, and just dance like there's no tommorow. She wants everyone to know the real nicki is as in, my name is onika you can call me nicki. And, bad b* like me, is hard to come by. I think that the song is about partying like its the last moment of your lives, and letting the whole world know who you are.

    No- just stop it with the random religious proselytizing and bringing a perfectly decent thread down to "the jesus" level with your "deep sympathy" and "critical convictions" (that we all apparently need to hear). I don't doubt that if I mentioned how allah (peace be upon him) or the most merciful zeus/flying spaghetti monster (may each reign forever) had some call upon her as a human that she should answer to & ultimately convert or suffer eternally/die the second death- you would be legitimately compelled to challenge the truth of my remark--only problem is this isn't a forum for how we feel about the artist's religion. It's a forum for how we feel about the artist's song. So please don't bible troll, stick to the designated post direction- and I'm sure we'll all get along: d

    Guys, it's about partying. Sorry if you thought the lyrics were deeper than that but they're not. It's nicki we're talking about here.
    I don't usually like nicki but I like this song, only because it's catchy. I can play it on the piano :)
    Maybe she has a bit of talent because not everyone can rap as fast as that, not saying that fast rapping is the best because it isn't. It's just a shame she doesn't put her talent to good use.

    Um. I'm sorry and I don't want to be direspectful in any way but this song is the complete oposite of what you said she isn't hurting inside this song is meant to be like partying and haveing a good time and being proud of yourself! If nicki whent to jesus then good for her but I don't think that what you seaid is what this song is about. Just my opinion.

    This song is deeped than many realize. Starship is code for jefferson starship. Nicki was a big fan when she was growing up and that started her alter ego. The real twist is that nicki is really a step-daughter to the lead singer of jefferson starship. So she is actually paying a tribute to the step-daddy. My daddy no fool. Does anyone else think that nicki and serena williams might actually be the same person? Think about it, did you ever see serena playing tennis at the same time nicki was in a concert? I think this is more than a coincidence, you fool?
