[Verse 1]
So pessimistic
So narcissistic
So cynical
Welcome to my own little world
A false commitment
Oh, I never listened
And I'm just a problem

I, I, I, I wanna run the
I, I, I, I wanna run the world, the world, the world, the world
And I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I wanna run the world, the world, the world, the world
And I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I wanna run the world, the world, the world, the world
