[Verse 1: Nicki Minaj]
Feel, feel, feel the beat of the drum
Move like you really wanna be number one
You can, you can, you can beat out the comp
Run like you really wanna be at the top
Stop, adrenaline rush, 'cause
you have been identified as a hustler
Topic of discussion, but beat it like a percussioner
And chuck the deuce up, and tell 'em it's just love
[Hook: Nicki Minaj]
(Whoop, whoop) Damn, diggity-dog
Let them bums stay mad, 'cause we livin' it up
(Whoop, whoop) Shelltops is on
And I'm popping, like I'm popping, like I'm popping some corn
[Pre-Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
And now, I don't wanna take you
If we fall down, don't get upset
And now is just the beginning
And we'll figure it out somehow
[Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
Right now, masquerade
Master the merry-go-round
Right now, masquerade
Master the merry-go-round
[Post-Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
Right now, it's something you create
It's never ever too late
It's never ever too late
Right now, okay to make a mistake
Yeah, baby, this is your day
It's time to masquerade
[Verse 2: Nicki Minaj]
Uh, bass, the bass, feel the bass in your face
Hit the finish line, first place in the race
Yes, King Kong on your chest
Running, and I'm coming to baton to your left
Yup, you can be who you want
Be who you is, never be who you aren't
Never ever fold under pressure
Desperate times get desperate measure
[Hook: Nicki Minaj]
(Whoop, whoop) Damn, diggity-dog
Let them bums stay mad, 'cause we livin' it up
(Whoop, whoop) Shelltops is on
And I'm popping, like I'm popping, like I'm popping some corn
[Pre-Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
And now, I don't wanna take you
If we fall down, don't get upset
And now is just the beginning
And we'll figure it out somehow
[Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
Right now, masquerade
Master the merry-go-round
Right now, masquerade
Master the merry-go-round
[Post-Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
Right now, it's something you create
It's never ever too late
It's never ever too late
Right now, okay to make a mistake
Yeah, baby, this is your day
It's time to masquerade
[Bridge: Nicki Minaj]
I'ma call you afro, 'cause you never ball
Fuck all you bitches, and I don't ever call
Next day, suck my teste
I ain't playing games, bitch, but checkmate
Checkmate
Breaker 1-9, Br-Breaker 1-9
Br-Breaker 1-9
All my party people, lemme see you one time
[Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
Right now, masquerade
Master the merry-go-round
Right now, masquerade
Master the merry-go-round
[Post-Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
Right now, it's something you create
It's never ever too late
It's never ever too late
Right now, okay to make a mistake
Yeah, baby, this is your day
It's time to masquerade
