I'm going berserk and I'm going insane
But I say hey, it's a new day
Hey, I'm on my way
I wouldn't stay, but if you made me
Bring on the next phase
I'm gonna go big
I'm gonna go big
Yeah, I'm going bigger than I was before
And you can tell your friends and all their friends
I want the whole wide world to know
I'm gonna go big
B.I.G., bigger than I was before
So come on, watch me
Stay up late
Come on, everybody
We got to congregate
We say hey, it's a new day
Hey, I'm on my way
I wouldn't stay, but if you made me
Bring on the next phase
I'm gonna go big
I feel bigger than ever before
I'm gonna go big
Yeah, I'm going bigger than I was before
And you can tell your friends and all their friends
