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.

(Whoop, whoop)
Damn, diggity-dog!
Let them bums stay mad, 'cause we livin' it up,
(Whoop, whoop)
Shelltops is on,
And I'm poppin', like I'm poppin', like I'm poppin' some corn!

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.

Right now, Masquerade,
Master the merry-go-round.
Right now, Masquerade,
Master the merry-go-round.
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.

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 comin' 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.

(Whoop, whoop)
Damn, diggity-dog!
Let them bums stay mad, 'cause we livin' it up,
(Whoop, whoop)
Shelltops is on,
And I'm poppin', like I'm poppin', like I'm poppin' some corn!

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.

It's time to Masquerade.

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 playin' 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!

Right now, Masquerade,
Master the merry-go-round.
