[Verse 1]
You can try all your little games
But you're the only one who's going to play
Thought you had it stacked your way
But you can't fool me with your little charade
Go ahead and take off your crown
It don't really mean a thing now
No one here will bow down
You're in the big leagues now

[Chorus]
So you can try to be the king
But I swear no one's listening
You can call all you want but no one's coming
So you can go and try to lead
But no one's following
Your momma ain't here no more
Welcome to the real world

[Verse 2]
You strut around with your head in the clouds
And never bothered keeping a foot on the ground
You're in the big leagues now
Maybe you should get back to your playground
You think you have the perfect hand
You bet everyone gonna follow your plan
Things ain't how you want them to be
You're not the king of anything
[Chorus]
So you can try to be the king
But I swear no one's listening
You can call all you want but no one's coming
So you can go and try to lead
But no one's following
Your momma ain't here no more
Welcome to the real world

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
So you can try to be the king
But I swear no one's listening
You can call all you want but no one's coming
So you can go and try to lead
But no one's following
Your momma ain't here no more
Welcome to the real world
