Welcome to the world, welcome to the world

You got your pop star, I'll be your rock star
When it's a suicide, you call it superstar
Check out the forecast, predictions won't stop
You get your fifteen and then they take the spot

Let's go, let's go
And then you're ready to go
Let's go, let's go
'Cause it's the end of the show

Let's go, let's go
So just get ready to go
Let's go, let's go
Let's go, let's go

All the time that you were gone
I thought about how things went wrong
Now you're coming down to earth
Okay, hello, welcome to the world

She saw the bright lights, she caught the fever
She got contagious, she never leave it
So no more time spent and no more free shit
In fact this free ride has reached its destination

Let's go, let's go
And then you're ready to go
Let's go, let's go
'Cause it's the end of the show

Let's go, let's go
And when it's over, you'll know
Let's go, let's go
Let's go, let's go

All the time that you were gone
I thought about how things went wrong
Now you're coming down to earth
Okay, hello, welcome to the world

Life's a tour, I'm so sure
The ex will come before you exit girl
No more games, I confess
Far from lane, I'm just so fresh

While Cubit Lee it's the big boss
You get on the block, Mr. Rudolf
2 stars, hold your applause
Hold it down to y'alls all guitars

Half my life I sacrifice
But I only came to party tonight
New chicks, get my drinks up
Every weekend we can link up

New rings, with the big cuts
Don't need a passport, get your minx up
I took my time, she love me, each touch
When she closes her eyes it's what she thinks of
Boss

All the time that you were gone
I thought about how things went wrong
Now you're coming down to earth
Okay, hello, welcome to the world
Welcome to the world, welcome to the world
Welcome to the world, welcome to the world
