Top of the World
Big Pun ft Brandy & Fat Joe Lyrics

Yo, I don't think they're ready for this one
Introducing a new remix, Big Pun believes the audience may not be prepared for what's to come.

You're the truth, shorty
Big Pun compliments Brandy as being genuine.

The fruit punch to my forty
Comparing Brandy to a sweet beverage that always satisfies.

Sweeter than candy, Brandy's the only one for me
Brandy is more desirable than anything else, and she is the only one Big Pun wants.

You did it up and sold a mil' in a week
Congratulating Brandy for her achievements.

But when you called Pun and Joe
Acknowledging Brandy contacted Big Pun and Fat Joe.

You kept it real with the streets (I like that)
Respect for Brandy's authenticity.

That's the true honor, not the jewels or Gabbana
Being genuine is more important than material things.

Any fool can accomplish just a few hundred dollars
Money is fleeting and easily obtained, and therefore not valuable.

That's paper thin, I got my mamma out the apron
Wealth is not as important as taking care of family.

I'm loyal to her from eight to ten
Big Pun makes sure to prioritize his family.

Make way for the twin
Referring to himself as one of the famous Twins.

Who the twins that be making it hot? (Say what?)
Asking who is hotter than the Twins.

Number one on your Billboard charts
Acknowledging their success on the charts.

Showing love to them thugs that be holding the blocks
Respect for those who hold it down in the streets.

And we be tearing up the club like the Three Six Mob
Big Pun and Fat Joe party hard.

Joey Crack, baby, ain't no time to react lazy
No time to waste, get things done.

Perhaps maybe we can ball with this
Thinking about making more money together.

And all get rich, I ain't only talking ish, come on
Making more money is not just talk, it's a real possibility.

Some people say that I am not the same girl
Brandy feels misunderstood by some.

They say I think that I am in my own world
Brandy's behavior is interpreted as being self-centered.

What makes them think that I have changed? Yeah
Brandy doesn't understand why people have changed their perception of her.

A little dough can not erase my problems
Money doesn't solve all of Brandy's problems.

Unlike you, I have to try and solve them
Resenting those who don't understand the struggle Brandy goes through.

Yes, everything is quite the same, wow
Brandy's life isn't as different as others perceive it to be.

Sittin' on top the world
Feeling on top of the world.

Sittin' on top, no that's not so (sittin', sittin')
Contradicting the feeling of being on top.

Everybody should just let it go
Everyone should let their problems go and focus on the good things in life.

I'm just one girl trying to live my life
Brandy emphasizes she is just one person living her life.

Not sittin' on top, doin' I like (come on)
Brandy isn't just sitting on top doing nothing, she's actively living her life the way she wants.

Back in the days
Reminiscing about the past.

But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Ideally wants to go back to being a kid.

When I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
Highlighting that they are no longer a kid.

I wonder why it's often said that my life's
Brandy is puzzled by people's perception of her life.

A fairy tale and everything is so right
People believe Brandy's life is a perfect fairy tale.

I wish that you could know the truth, yeah
Brandy wishes people could understand the reality of her life.

My life is real so please don't get it twisted
Brandy emphasizes her life is not perfect.

Problems the same and got to be dealt with
Dealing with problems is a part of everyone's life.

These are the things I wish you knew, ooh
Brandy wants others to understand the reality of her life.

Ever since you wanted to be down, I wanted to put you on
Joe had a personal interest in promoting the person he is talking to.

But you ain't come around, had no time for The Don
Joe feels rejected by the person he wanted to involve in his projects.

Sixteen on the block, the latest phenomenon
Speaking about a 16-year-old fame and success story.

Number one with a bullet and your own sitcom
Being extremely successful with both a movie and a TV show.

Brandy, hand me one of the platinum hits
Asking Brandy to give him one of her platinum records.

People talk but they don't know the half of it
People are not aware of the full extent of Brandy's success.

Well the fact this is, we in the worst business
Acknowledging the music industry can be tough to navigate.

And anything you have, you deserve it miss
Recognizing Brandy deserves all her success.

Encima del mundo
Sitting on top of the world in Spanish.

Follow the squad, we never segundo
Following the Terror Squad is always a good idea.

Telemundo televises our every maneuver
Their every move is watched and broadcasted worldwide.

Word chula, we pack 'em in like Lollapalooza
People flock to see them like a music festival.

From here to Havana, Cuba
Their fame reaches far and wide.

They want the man on a scooter, getting mula
People want to be like them, enjoying success and wealth.

Sittin' on top of the world like a Buddha
Feeling successful and content, like a Buddha statue.

Who the first Latin to go platinum without the basura?
Asking who the first Latin person is to go platinum without making trashy music.

Big Pun, the capoeira with the cheddar
Big Pun is a well-known and wealthy capoeira performer.

Never settle for second place 'cause I'm primera, wish forever
Big Pun always aims to be the best.

Sittin' on top the world (that I sit on top of the world)
Repeating the feeling of being on top.

Not sittin' on top, doin' what I like (on top the world)
Continuing the idea that Brandy is living her life the way she wants.
