Am                  G
You said I come in peace so I took you home
F           Dm
I gave you food and I gave you clothes
Am                             G
I taught you how to move your feet when the rhythms on
F               Dm
Still you wanna leave cause you feel alone

Am
You don't know what they're like
G
If they know that you're alive
F
They're gonna try to take away
     Dm
the secrets of your planet's life
Am
I know you must be upset,
     G
you lost your family in a wreck
F                  Dm
But you gotta listen

Chorus:
Am                       G
Don't try to find your spaceship
    F                         Dm
It might be out there waiting
Am                 G
Stay in my backpack forever
   F               Dm
Stay in my backpack forever
Am                          G
(You know I gotta find my spaceship,
     F                           Dm
my planet's outside there waiting,
         Am
I can't stay in your backpack
G           F                Dm
forever, stay in your backpack

Before you came around I was in a rut
Didn’t have a friend, didn’t know what it was
You taught me how to dream and how to love
You’re my best friend please listen to me

You don’t know what they’re like,
if they know that you’re alive
They’re gonna try to take away
the secrets of your planet's life
I know you must be upset,
you lost your family in a wreck
But you gotta listen

Chorus

Greetings, I fell from the sky
I’m from a different world
I use Lil Wayne as a disguise
And our flying saucer crashed,
I’m the only one that survived
I’ve only taking over this planet since I arrived
I’m in a backpack, I’m ducking Men in Black
Yeah, I’m an alien, my swag is outta this world
Different galaxy, they try to capture me
When I die they gonna name this planet after me
Wayne’s world

Chorus

In our planet we don't kill one another
We don't take love for granted
It's a gift from the mother and
In your planet, you are filled
with greed and false belief
We came here to bring you peace
