Sold out nights
Didn't know that the game must be won
Sorry
Sorry
Your advance just a loan and doesn't it all sound grand?
Come join our circus where we all wear masks
Musicians, magicians, tightropes
Lying while our fans aren't expected to last
Didn't know that the game must be won
Sorry
Could it be that the trick is on us?
Need a break, you in my face
It started as fun
It started as fun
Can you blame us?
Label might say hell naw, get a new female star
Dressing rooms, costumes, who's doing who? Gossip rumors
Make a hit song, same lame lyrics, same bass, same kick drum
Sick none, diamonds on my wristband
Is it gonna be real freaky?
Book her shows in Wyoming, David Letterman and Conan
But they told me this how to get rich y'all
Sorry
Should I dive through the circle of fire?
Come join our circus where we all wear masks
Listen to some real black love
Can you blame us?
Buy the record you became a big, big victim
Neck, hands and my wrist numb
Can you blame us?
Groupies just too much, everybody's like ‘let's do lunch'
Could it be that the trick is on us?
Rock and roll like back when you dropped before
Could it be that the trick is on us?
Can you blame us?
Are you gonna be more grunge
Masquerading like we are the one
Didn't know that the game must be won
Thinking that ya girl got it all
Masquerading like we are the one
It started as fun
Come join our circus where we all wear masks
Lying while our fans aren't expected to last
Strobe lights, lion tamers, entertainers
Masquerading like we are the one
Sorry
No, I'm just gonna be me
Still spit a few bars, might never hear this song
How can I shake this circus clown?
Lying while our fans aren't expected to last
Asking K, what I'm putting out next year
But get back, before I get ill
Never did I lie, never did I need a trick y'all
Who I'm talking to? You, you and my biggest fan
Number one on Soundscan, just keep the clubs bouncing
Didn't know that the game must be won
That's why I'm not a rapper
Didn't know that the game must be won
Critics wanna come critique me
Can you blame us?
What does the ringmaster need from his clown?
It started as fun
That's why it doesn't matter
Masquerading like we are the one
Black love, black mask
And I got the best man, best hair, best legs
Didn't know that the game must be won
Get her some new earrings, fly her off to Beijing
She don't have to sing, she don't have to bring anything
Bitch can't front, get what I want
That's all I have, that's all I have
Could it be that the trick is on us?
Can you blame us?
It started as fun
Sorry
It started as fun
