[Chorus]

What would it take to get you to stay?

And what would it cost? Give me a number I'll pay, I'll pay (yeah)

I got a job at the circus babe, so all I do now is entertain

I can't afford to disappoint the crowd, no way, there ain't no way

I'm the circus babe

[Verse 1]

So far ahead I got time to kill, don’t let me behind the wheel

I got no breaks, you thought you was big, well imagine how Arnold feels, I can relate

If I don’t do it, then no one will I'm hard to understand like admiring Christopher Nolan films high off your mind from a fifth of xan’, I got diamond hands

CalI me the superintendent I'm the sith and the apprentice

No humble beginnings, I'vе always been cocky always been different so I been the samе for a minute I mean it

My life is a circus, I’m running low on some tents, I need a girl who can dance, I need a girl to convince, this type of show is intense

You’ll be impressing your friends, you’ll be the one they’ll be thanking when they become fans, but that depends

You can eat off of my plate or you can eat out of a can

I don’t like making demands, I ain’t the mafia clan, they catching bodies again

I do it all for my family and I would do it again

Yeah I would do it again

[Chorus]

What would it take to get you to stay? (to get you to stay yeah)

And what would it cost? Give me a number I'll pay, I'll pay (yeah)

I got a job at the circus babe, so all I do now is entertain (I entertain)

I can't afford to disappoint the crowd, no way (no way)

There ain't no way

I'm the circus babe

[Verse 2]

The other day I got removed from an aircraft, they said I’m not plain enough

As I recall they called me a flight risk but I think they made it up

As I was leaving, the pilot was playing my album loud on the intercom “may I have your attention, I’m 'finna crash if y’all do not sing along”

I got an issue with thieves all of y'all dead to me nine minus three, thankfully I’m just beast, thankfully I like to beef I like the bone in my teeth

People like me? What you mean people like me? The people who like me? Or people who like me? Hit me back please let me know which one you mean

Yeah, you like to dream? I like to nightmare during my sleep

I’m like a python when it’s heat I just on bite onto anything moving ‘round me

I’m a chemist and science the beat

Somebody call the police I’m the new drug in the streets

See I’m the cream of the crop, all of you rappers are crumbs laying beneath

[Chorus]

What would it take to get you to stay? (to get you to stay yeah)

And what would it cost? Give me a number I'll pay, I'll pay (yeah)

I got a job at the circus babe, so all I do now is entertain (I entertain)

I can't afford to disappoint the crowd, no way (no way)

There ain't no way

I'm the circus babe

[Bridge]

I am the circus I am the carnival

My life’s a parade, a fair, and a festival

I've been jumping through hoops, juggling every ball

While dodging Flames on a tightrope I refuse to fall

It’s not about tickets it’s not about plays

As long as I inspire one then I’m great

It wasn’t for nothing it wasn’t in vain

At this rate I’ll probably end up dying right on the stage

[Chorus]

I got a job at the circus babe so all I do now is entertain

I can't afford to disappoint the crowd, no way, there ain't no way

I'm the circus babe
