[Intro: Killah Kalam & Machine Gun Kelly]

Ladies and Gentlemen

Welcome to the Greatest Show on Earth

It is not a dream or reality

It is only known as (Ah, ah)

Homecoming (Come on)

Oh, and I'm back, like that (Yeah, yeah)


[Verse 1: Machine Gun Kelly]

Blinded by the glare of the green lights, in the street nights

In my eyes now, balling with my top down, roof off

No closed box now, I can hear it in the air like when I stop sound

People looking like I must be lost

If I can't keep a job then I must be boss

And the hustle never dies, so there's no day off

And they be lookin' at the benefits, like "What that cost?"

Uh, uh, too much for you dawg

Couldn't buy this with the weight that U-Haul

Say you can't stand me, so you fall

[?] it's thanks to ya'll (Thanks)

Cause now I'm in a different league

Was last, now first in a different scene

Ain't no thug in the kid, I'm a different breed

No couches, just penthouses, this me (Me)

And I'm free so the sky's no limit

I don't know restriction, all I know is infinite

Working round the clock, I don't know no minutes

Ya'll temporary to the game, call ya'll tenants

Then think of ya'll american image and combine it with the graphic lyrics that I be spitting

Then take a ride through the city I'm representing

And see their reaction when they see my face on the upper ending (Damn)

What I wouldn't do for this if I only had twenty-four to live

Probably take it to the verse, no beat, no chorus, or bridge

And spit it straight from the mouth of the kid, and that's real

I done paid the fee, what's that?

Two whole cities prayed for me, so best believe when I get what I earned

You'll see those names both faced on the map, word


[Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly]

If you only had one night, one night, one night

To make your dreams come to life then just keep on fightin'

And reap what's priceless, you want advice?

Then I said, take whatever your vice is

You only live once, we don't get no twices

Smoking, drinking, cars, dices, do it 'till your body is lifeless

If you only had one night, one night, one night

To make your dreams come to life then just keep on fightin'

And reap what's priceless, you want advice?

Then I said, take whatever your vice is

You only live once, we don't get no twices

Smoking, drinking, cars, dices, do it 'till your body is lifeless, yeah


[Verse 2: Machine Gun Kelly]

I don't have no regrets

All I got is balls, brains, and a mic, in that sequence

Bad broad coming in the gown with sequence

Doing things to me you'll only do on the weekends (Hey)

Uh, you gotta love this life

Mix the stage with the lime, gotta love that light

They gets on when you bump it, I just call that Sprite

But I'm fly 'till I die, like a soul plane flight (Flight)

Yup, infamous, bets on the table all in for this

Shouldn't have waged, I couldn't ride the cents

Now I'm glad that [?] here

That's glamorous, no back in the ambulance

And no shots gonna cancel this, no blazing glory just cameras

Besides only two hours to go, might as well spend it all at a show

Only twenty dollars in my pocket, might as well buy some dro

And drink 'till I'm passed out on the flo'

Grab my hotel key, then I order up a penthouse suite

Room service, with a truck full of bottles and some food to eat

And girls strip like it's New Years Eve (That's what I like)

Only thirty minutes till the Casket

But I ain't stopping, I'm partying 'till the last breath

Go hard like I know no half step

Not doing the right thing, I gotta go half-cleft

As life scenes surrounding me

People only in the room 'cause the loud for free

Only five minutes 'till [?] down with me

So I'll make love while falling off the balcony


[Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly]

If you only had one night, one night, one night

To make your dreams come to life then just keep on fightin'

And reap what's priceless, you want advice?

Then I said, take whatever your vice is

You only live once, we don't get no twices

Smoking, drinking, cars, dices, do it 'till your body is lifeless

If you only had one night, one night, one night

To make your dreams come to life then just keep on fightin'

And reap what's priceless, you want advice?

Then I said, take whatever your vice is

You only live once, we don't get no twices

Smoking, drinking, cars, dices, do it 'till your body is lifeless, yeah
