[Verse 1]

You can try all your little games

But you're the only one who's going to play

Thought you had it stacked your way

But you can't fool me with your little charade

Go ahead and take off your crown

It don't really mean a thing now

No one here will bow down

You're in the big leagues now

[Chorus]

So you can try to be the king

But I swear no one's listening

You can call all you want but no one's coming

So you can go and try to lead

But no one's following

Your momma ain't here no more

Welcome to the real world

[Verse 2]

You strut around with your head in the clouds

And never bothered keeping a foot on the ground

You're in the big leagues now

Maybe you should get back to your playground

You think you have the perfect hand

You bet everyone gonna follow your plan

Things ain't how you want them to be

You're not the king of anything

[Chorus]

So you can try to be the king

But I swear no one's listening

You can call all you want but no one's coming

So you can go and try to lead

But no one's following

Your momma ain't here no more

Welcome to the real world

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

So you can try to be the king

But I swear no one's listening

You can call all you want but no one's coming

So you can go and try to lead

But no one's following

Your momma ain't here no more

Welcome to the real world
