Mae Jemison Lyrics

[Chorus]
I’m the Fifth Element
Mixed with Mae Jemison
All you fake feminists pissed and stay jealous
Men telling me it’s suicide

Well it’s do or die
I’ll be fighting like Budokai
For you and I

I’m the Fifth Element
Mixed with Mae Jemison
All you fake feminists pissed and stay jealous
Men telling me it’s suicide

Well it’s do or die
I’ll be fighting like Budokai
For you and I

[Verse 1]
I gotta go
Federation on the phone
Solo mission no audition for the roll I’m out the door
I be anxious to attack and see that’s why they chose me
Ain’t a pussycat all these trolls look like Josie
Uggs, never cold feet, young still I’m OG
Someone who can run and tote a gun til the OT
Those who oppose me be loaded up on codeine
Or bros smoking dro drinking OZs of OE
Facin' problems we won’t escape if we bide our time
It’s space pirates appropriating like Miley Cyrus
Damn --- Metroids invading us like a rhinovirus
Tryna get inside of our craniums like some kind of sinus
When modern science can’t fight it they tap the big gats
I’mma kick ass makin’ tricks snap like Kit Kats
Drop kickin' hacks that I pimp slap like Slickback
Crack ribs then laugh til my abs have a six pack
[Chorus]
I’m the Fifth Element
Mixed with Mae Jemison
All you fake feminists pissed and stay jealous
Men telling me it’s suicide

Well it’s do or die
I’ll be fighting like Budokai
For you and I

I’m the Fifth Element
Mixed with Mae Jemison
All you fake feminists pissed and stay jealous
Men telling me it’s suicide

Well it’s do or die
I’ll be fighting like Budokai
For you and I

[Verse 2]
Now I’m strapped in
Feel kinda trapped
In the first class cabin
I’m the crew and the captain
I feel the blast now I’m nervous, I’m gasping
Sky getting black like reverse Michael Jackson
Next is the absence of gravity’s attraction
My assets unlatch it’s they natural reaction
Zoom past a moon
On the move like Judy Jetson
Two frozen cubes
Lemon juice I’m sippin’ absinthe

Yeah I made a couple drinks
To take the pressure off
I think that Mother Brain be crazier than Sephiroth
She like Mousers or Bowser
Turned up to one thousand

I heard she’s astounding
But I got that aim of Jesse James call a n*gga "Team Rocket"
Dock and send that brain straight to lay up in the coffin
Out of pocket like you Polly ya’ll gone get a molly whopping
Got ya wondering "Who shot ya" while I’m joggin’ out the cockpit
[Chorus]
I’m the Fifth Element
Mixed with Mae Jemison
All you fake feminists pissed and stay jealous
Men telling me it’s suicide

Well it’s do or die
I’ll be fighting like Budokai
For you and I

I’m the Fifth Element
Mixed with Mae Jemison
All you fake feminists pissed and stay jealous
Men telling me it’s suicide

Well it’s do or die
I’ll be fighting like Budokai
For you and I
