Now let this be your first-class ticket out the country
Where you don't even gotta spend no money
When I was down bad and I was broke and I was lonely
I knew this day would come when I was young
Now let this be your first-class ticket out the country
Where you don't even gotta spend no money
When I was down bad and I was broke and I was lonely
I knew this day would come when I was young
The carnival it goes around it comes
It took so long to get to number one
The shit I had to go through wasn't fun
The carnival it comes around
The carnival it comes around
The carnival it comes around
The carnival it comes around
The carnival it comes around
When I was 14 I had a choice
I was sitting in the class with my boys
Wondering how it's gone happen
If I seriously started rapping
At first they ain't believe in me
At school they was making fun of me
And now I'm like a hood celebrity
I'm running through these Atlanta streets
I'm just a young kid from West Covina
And if you didn't know, that's California
They smoke oregano and asked if I could join in
I apologize but I cannot join you
When I got arrested I wasn't appointed to no lawyer
I had two cases waiting on me in the morning
Morale of the story, pay attention to the warnings
I was on the bench but now they ask me what the score is
The carnival it goes around it comes
It took so long to get to number one
The shit I had to go through wasn't fun
The carnival it comes around
The carnival it comes around
The carnival it comes around
The carnival it comes around
The carnival it comes around
The carnival it comes around
The carnival it comes around
Everything comes back around
Everything comes back around
Faiza on the beat
