Overall Meaning

In Tyga's song Circus Souvenir, the rapper sets the record straight about his life journey, starting from when he first came into the music industry in 2005. Tyga reflects on his humble beginnings, from running around passing out mixtapes in the rain, dreaming of not waking up hungry again, to becoming successful, receiving a God-given break, and performing in front of 30,000 people feeling as if he was a Beatle. Although adapting to the fast-paced and lavish lifestyle of being a celebrity came easily, Tyga reminds his listeners that "this life people just won't believe," and despite becoming accustomed to many things, it's hard to return home to reality. So although he sometimes feels like giving up, he can't help but love the game so much and remains focused on his career.


As he progresses through his music career, Tyga has learned that not everyone will show him respect, but he demands to be treated with R-E-S-P-E-C-T. He has worked hard and made a fortune independently but notes that it takes more than money to be happy. He enjoys the luxuries that come with fame, like jewelry and champagne, but recognizes the emptiness that exists in the industry filled with haters who will still hate regardless of accomplishments.


The song Circus Souvenir provides an authentic insight into how Tyga has reached the point he is now in his music career, and it also alludes to the harsh reality of the music industry.
