[Chorus: Drake Chisholm]
You could be a ringleader, you could be a clown
Walkin' on a tightrope, don't look down
'Cause you're high up there oh you're way up now
But there ain't no net if it all fall down
At the circus (Circus)
Did you get signed or get purchased? (Purchased)
Do you even know what your worth is?
They might snake you and take all your dough
Make you put on a show for the circus (Circus, circus)
Homie, welcome to the circus (Circus, circus)
Homie, welcome to the circus (Circus, circus)
Homie, welcome to the circus, circus, circus, circus
[Verse 1: Drake Chisholm]
They just be usin' you, that's just the usual
All of the hoops you jump and manеuver through
Take you for a ride likе a Uber do
All of these costumes, I can't tell who is who
A bunch of clowns runnin' around for the spotlight
Yeah, you want it 'til you got it, realize it's not bright
Now you're like Anakin and see the dark side (Dark side)
Now you've been clowned Heath Ledger, Dark Knight
When you read the contract that you just signed
And realize you sold your soul for nickels and dimes (Yikes)
[Chorus: Drake Chisholm]
You could be a ringleader, you could be a clown
Walkin' on a tightrope, don't look down
'Cause you're high up there oh you're way up now
But there ain't no net if it all fall down
At the circus (Circus)
Did you get signed or get purchased? (Purchased)
Do you even know what your worth is?
They might snake you and take all your dough
Make you put on a show for the circus (Circus, circus)
Homie, welcome to the circus (Circus, circus)
Homie, welcome to the circus (Circus, circus)
Homie, welcome to the circus, circus, circus, circus
[Verse 2: Abstract]
Claimin' I'm tame, tell me why I go to sleep in a cage
Tell me why you only want me to dance and do tricks for the people that you entertain
Stay in your lane, I might just show you the fangs
Houdini break at the locks
Leavin' you lookin' like Siegfried & Roy
Leave the whole canopy shocked
I am not a toy for your amusement
Think you got me cornered, that's amusing
You are just a business, this is music
Did it on my own and now I'm cruisin'
Ringleader runnin' my own show
Rings to me lead to dial tones
Rings on me, keep the metal on me
Just to backhand if a clown get close
[Chorus: Drake Chisholm]
You could be a ringleader, you could be a clown
Walkin' on a tightrope, don't wanna look down
'Cause you're high up there where you way up now
But there ain't no net if it all fall down
At the circus (Circus)
Did you get signed or get purchased? (Purchased)
Do you even know what your worth is?
They might snake you and take all your dough
Make you put on a show for the circus
