Lyrics
This the mothership
Naw not that other shit
You can take a ride if you lovin it
I know you missin it
That’s why you diggin it
I know you feel that
This is why the real back
This the mothership
Naw not that other shit
You can take a ride if you lovin it
I know you missin it
That’s why you diggin it
I know you missin it
Yeah, like it love it or leave it, hate it or tolerate it
The golden era music has faded you can’t debate it
Even now when I play it I’m holdin out for the feeling
For emotional connection or even spiritual healing
Hands up to the ceiling if you hear me then say Amen
Some of yall got goals and wishes but aint got a plan
I got the blueprint from KRS and Jay
Did 17th albums, 18 is on the way
Ah ah, I think I’m burnt out
Errbody turnt up
And they keep it lit, I can’t keep up with it
I’m too articulate even if I start to mumble
I was nice and polite before Kendrick was humble (sit down)
Aw Damn here I am waitin on the smoke to clear
And when the dust settle Ima still be the dopest here
I got the passion for the music but it’s dyin out
This my therapy session instead of cryin out
This the mothership
Naw not that other shit
You can take a ride if you lovin it
I know you missin it
That’s why you diggin it
I know you feel that
This is why the real back
This the mothership
Naw not that other shit
You can take a ride if you lovin it
I know you missin it
That’s why you diggin it
I know you missin it
Yeah I took a step back in order to get a wider view
This the deal for real you know I wouldn’t lie to you
Transparent and see through, call it my honesty
But lately this hip hop music dying and haunting me
The elephant in the room is R-A-P
Real authentic problems from a E-M-C-E-E
And this is N-I-T, can’t forget the E
Mufuckas call me Nite and they don’t even know me
Until permission is granted, call me Dr. Owlious
And I aint just another artist man I’m more like a specialist
I can tell my fanbase gettin restless
Sometimes they only come to your show when they on the guest list
Everybody love you til they gotta pay
Dj’s relate to this in a major way
Yo I just wanna rhyme and try to save the day
Pay my respects to the ones that paved the way
This the mothership
Naw not that other shit
You can take a ride if you lovin it
I know you missin it
That’s why you diggin it
I know you feel that
This is why the real back
This the mothership
Naw not that other shit
You can take a ride if you lovin it
I know you missin it
That’s why you diggin it
I know you missin it
The beauty of getting older is the wisdom and the knowledge
I got streets smarts but thank God I went to college
Shit I got to do things thoughts I would never do
Like get a education with no revenue
I had a full scholarship but still needed loans
I’ll never understand that shit until I’m dead and gone
Until then shit I guess it’s just the same old song
Cops killin n*ggas but want us to all get along
How convenient, if I said it then I mean it
And I don’t need a edit to clean it
Back when I was striving tryin to handle my issues
I was too afraid of losing you coudn’t say that I miss you
The grass aint never greener on the other side
But I gotta take a chance and hop up in this other ride
This the mothership where the funk is at
I got the speakers in the back where the trunk is at
This the mothership
Naw not that other shit
You can take a ride if you lovin it
I know you missin it
That’s why you diggin it
I know you feel that
This is why the real back
This the mothership
Naw not that other shit
You can take a ride if you lovin it
I know you missin it
That’s why you diggin it
I know you missin it
