Another Darkchild remix
Brandy, RJ, Big Pun, Fat Joe
Terror Squad, come on
You're the truth, shorty
The fruit punch to my forty
Sweeter than candy, Brandy's the only one for me
But when you called Pun and Joe
You kept it real with the streets (I like that)
That's the true honor, not the jewels or Gabbana
Any fool can accomplish just a few hundred dollars
That's paper thin, I got my mamma out the apron
I'm loyal to her from eight to ten
Make way for the twin
Who the twins that be making it hot? (Say what?)
Number one on your Billboard charts
Showing love to them thugs that be holding the blocks
And we be tearing up the club like the Three Six Mob
Joey Crack, baby, ain't no time to react lazy
Brandy gave us a call and now the track's gravy
Perhaps maybe we can ball with this
And all get rich, I ain't only talking ish, come on
Some people say that I am not the same girl
They say I think that I am in my own world
What makes them think that I have changed? Yeah
A little dough can not erase my problems
Unlike you, I have to try and solve them
Yes, everything is quite the same, wow
Sittin' on top the world
Sittin' on top, no that's not so (sittin', sittin')
Everybody should just let it go
Sittin' on top the world
I'm just one girl trying to live my life
Not sittin' on top, doin' I like (come on)
Back in the days
When I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days
When I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days, When I was young
Back in the days, back in the days, when I was young
Back in the days, back in the days, when I was young
I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
I wonder why it's often said that my life's
A fairy tale and everything is so right
I wish that you could know the truth, yeah
My life is real so please don't get it twisted
Problems the same and got to be dealt with
These are the things I wish you knew, ooh
Sittin' on top the world (no, no)
Sittin' on top, no that's not so
Everybody should just let it go
Sittin' on top the world (yeah, yeah)
I'm just one girl trying to live my life
Not sittin' on top, doin' what I like
Sittin' on top the world
Sittin' on top, no that's not so
Everybody should just let it go
Sittin' on top the world
I'm just one girl trying to live my life
Not sittin' on top, doin' what I like
Ever since you wanted to be down, I wanted to put you on
But you ain't come around, had no time for The Don
Sixteen on the block, the latest phenomenon
Number one with a bullet and your own sitcom
Brandy, hand me one of the platinum hits
People talk but they don't know the half of it
Well the fact this is, we in the worst business
And anything you have, you deserve it miss
Encima del mundo
Follow the squad, we never segundo
Telemundo televises our every maneuver
Word chula, we pack 'em in like Lollapalooza
From here to Havana, Cuba
They want the man on a scooter, getting mula
Sittin' on top of the world like a Buddha
Who the first Latin to go platinum without the basura?
Big Pun, the capoeira with the cheddar
Never settle for second place 'cause I'm primera, wish forever
Sittin' on top the world (that I sit on top of the world)
Sittin' on top, no that's not so
Everybody should just let it go
Sittin' on top the world (yeah, yeah)
I'm just one girl trying to live my life (sittin', sittin')
Not sittin' on top, doin' what I like (on top the world)
Sittin' on top the world
Sittin' on top, no that's not so

You're the truth, shorty
You are genuine, my dear
The fruit punch to my forty
You are the perfect complement to my drink
Sweeter than candy, Brandy's the only one for me
You are sweeter than candy and the only one for me
You did it up and sold a mil' in a week
You achieved success by selling a million copies of your work in a week
But when you called Pun and Joe
When you reached out to Pun and Joe
You kept it real with the streets (I like that)
You stayed authentic to the urban community (and I appreciate that)
That's the true honor, not the jewels or Gabbana
Authenticity is the real reward, not material possessions like jewels or designer brands
Any fool can accomplish just a few hundred dollars
Anyone can make a small sum of money
That's paper thin, I got my mamma out the apron
That amount means nothing; I was able to help my mother get out of working in the kitchen
I'm loyal to her from eight to ten
I am dedicated to her from early morning until late at night
Make way for the twin
Clear the path for the talented duo

But when you called Joe and Pun
You kept it real with the streets

One of the best Darkchild remixes hands down! Brandy was really a musical phenom back in the day. Her music was definitely the soundtrack of the 90's.
