Ace hood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take a look at me now,
I'm from the gutta but I made it,
I made it to the top of the world,
Nothing holding me down,
I told them haters I would make it,
I made it to the top of the world
Here's a favor for you haters, kiss my anus boy,
I made it out the ghetto, I made it out the gutta,
But still I keep the street and now I'm hot as every summer.
They said I couldn't do it, but who are they to call,
I started rapping and ended chances of playing ball.
And now the doubted, but young is sprouting above them all,
Straight out the ? county gutta skipping menopause.
No homo I keep it solo but I will never fall,
Now every call I get the money is so involved,
2 stacks of better is easy cheddar to hit the mall.
I get the money to throw em so every day I ball,
[Chorus]
And yes I made it, you cant mistake it,
I know they hate it,
They see my face in the paper next to they rapping favorites,
I am so amazing I am no one like I'm in the matrix.
And I made it mama, and don't stress your problems I'ma get us out the,
Forget the drama that people holla just follow godda.
And he will lead you right through the problems I promise mama,
And I swear that to the day I parish,
Tell em Khaled I will bury every necessary cat who said I wouldn't homie.
Look at me now yea I'm laughing at you non believers,
Screaming gutta while I'm balling err fucking season,
I use to pass my CD me and four fifth in 80,
I use to bag em to listen but they were not believing, GO
[Chorus]
And as I rap I create a classic,
Who would imagine,
That I would inherit all the traits to be the greatest homie,
The world is mine and everything, lets get the money,
See tony Montana said it best,
Yes it's quoted truly, so add this song to your list of greatest and classic movies,
And I'ma roll the credits, just in second,
Just get this message, shout out to everyone who supported me from past to present,
And I wanna thank khaled because without him there will be no sessions,
And I wanna thank fam cause wit them they taught me this lesson,
And I wanna thank god cause without him there will be no message,
And I wanna thank all of my fans cause they are a blessing, this for BET reference,
I got my speech ready,
[Chorus]
In "Top of the World" by Ace Hood, the chorus repeats the sentiment of the song's title, claiming that he made it "to the top of the world" despite his humble beginnings. Ace Hood grew up in the ghetto, but he has found success as a rapper, and he refuses to let anyone hold him down or tell him that he can't accomplish his dreams. The first verse is a direct refutation of his haters— Ace Hood is telling them that he is successful, and that he is not going to apologize for it. He is proud of where he comes from, but he doesn't want to be defined by his past. He raps about his journey from the ghetto to the top, and he revels in the fact that he has proven his doubters wrong.
In the second verse, Ace Hood continues to assert his dominance. He knows that he is great, and he isn't afraid to say it. He credits his success to his own hard work, as well as his faith in God. He has learned to trust in himself and to lean on the people who support him, and he is confident that he can overcome any obstacle. He is inspired by the idea of Tony Montana, the fictional gangster from the movie Scarface, who famously said "The world is yours." For Ace Hood, this sentiment is more than just a quote from a movie— it's a way of life.
