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