On Top
C-Bo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I been holding it down too long
I’m coming for the top now
You see me cruising down Peachtree
I got my top down
I gotta stay away from suckas
They stuck in the ground
I gotta do this by myself
Need no one else around
Coming for the
Top, top, top, top
Yea, yea, yea
Coming for the top, top, top
Yea, yea
I know I gotta get mine
There’s no holding back for me
Can’t keep on waiting for those
Who don’t match my energy
I’m sick and tired of being lied to
Bout how you see
My true vision
I’ll paint a picture, these thoughts I keep
Layout a vivid description cuz this my destiny
Won’t let nobody else tell me
What I’m supposed to be
No you cannot control me
Know that God chose me
Rising entirely to high to keep it low-key
I gotta break off these ties cuz y’all getting phony
Swear the music saved my life
I gotta keep on flowing
Run it up I’m in full stride yea I’m Usain bolting
So when I get to the top imma let gold gleam yea
I been holding it down too long
I’m coming for the top now
You see me cruising down peachtree
I got my top down
I gotta stay away from suckas
They stuck in the ground
I Gotta do this by myself
Need no one else around
Coming for the
Top, top, top, top
Yea, yea, yea
Coming for the
Top, top, top
Yea, Yea
Yea
Everybody say that they been on they grind
But they been fall by the wayside
How you a thug at night
But Charmin in the day time
Steady chasing the bag
But I know that it’s gonna come in due time
So I’m praying you don’t waste mine
Geronimo you cannot knock me off my totem
Ponta pulling your card no Texas hold ‘em
And best believe big homie tote em
Bro keep a 30 like he curry make you scurry
Pull up Klay
That MAC 11 send a flurry in a hurry
Sliding in I’m with the crew
I’m with the the mob
Pop out who is you
You want no smoke you want no problem
Walking down the street
And all the opps ducking and dodging
Only got my head down
For this gwalla on my momma
Y’all conflicted bout getting riches
You penny-pinching
I’m been investing in myself
I need a thicker pension
Gon have a fit
These sidity chicks only want my riches
Take time to listen
I’ll put you in the premier position
Yea at the top, top
Yea, yea, yea
At the top
Yea, yea, yea, yea
Yea
Yea I’m coming for the
Top, top, top, top
Yea, yea, yea




Yea the top, top, top
Top
