[CHORUS:] Come join our circus where we all wear masks Lie to our fans & expect it to last Could it be that the trick is on us Masqueradin' like we are the ones Can you blame us? It started as fun Didn't know that the game must be won...Sooory [VERSE 1:] Never did I lie, never did I mean to trick y'all But they told me this is how to get rich y'all Makin' hit songs, same lame lyrics, same base, same kick drum Buy the record you became a vic-vic-victim Bitch can't front, get what I want Neck, hands & my wrists numb, sicknun' Diamonds on my wristband, who I'm talkin' to? You, you & my biggest fan, thinkin' that ya girl got it all And I got the best man, best hair, best legs, need a break, you in my face Askin' K, what I'm puttin' out next year Is it gonna be real freaky, critics wanna come critique me Are you gonna be more grunge rock-n-roll back when you dropped before But get back 'fore I get ill Black glove, black mask, this is just some real black love It's all I have, it's all I have [CHORUS:] Come join our circus where we all wear masks Lie to our fans & expect it to last Could it be that the trick is on us Masqueradin' like we are the ones Can you blame us? It started as fun Didn't know that the game must be won...Sooory [VERSE 2:] Musicians, magicians, tight rope, strobe lights Lion tamers, entertainers, sold out nights Dressin' rooms, costumes, who's doin' who, gossip, rumors Groupies just too much, everybody's like, "Let's do lunch" That's why it doesn't matter, that's why I'm not a rapper Still spit a few bars, might never hear this song Label might say, "Hell naw! Get a new female star. She don't have to sing...she don't have to bring anything!" Get her some new earrings, fly her off to Bejing Book her shows in Wyoming, David Letterman & Conan Your advance just alone and, doesn't it all sound grand? #1 on SoundScan, just keep the clubs bouncin', join us [CHORUS] [BRIDGE:] How can I shake this circus clown? What does the ringmaster need from his crowd? Should I dive through the circle of fire? Noooo. I'm just gonna be me [CHORUS OUT:] Come join our circus where we all wear masks Lie to our fans & expect it to last Could it be that the trick is on us Masqueradin' like we are the ones Can you blame us? It started as fun Didn't know that the game must be won...Sooory Can you blame us? It started as fun Didn't know that the game must be won...Sooory
