At The Top
COI LERAY Lyrics

At the top it get lonely (it get lonely)
Being successful can be isolating and lonely.

Fuck what they all say 'cause they don't know me (fuck what they all say)
People often judge and criticize without truly knowing a person's story or character.

And if you say you loyal you gotta show me (gotta show me)
Actions speak louder than words; loyalty is proven through actions, not just words.

Yeah, it get lonely at the top, it get lonely
Reiterating that success can be a lonely experience.

Yeah, yeah
Simple interjection expressing agreement or affirmation.

Pretty with a big bone (let's go, uh)
An admiring description of a woman's physique.

Yeah, hop up in that jet, watch it take off (watch it take off)
Celebrating the success that allows for extravagant travel and experiences.

They ain't believe in me? Yeah, fuck 'em all
Persevering through doubters and naysayers, and not caring about their opinions anymore.

Yeah, screamin', "Free my niggas", yeah, fuck the law
Voicing frustration with the justice system and hoping for the release of incarcerated friends or family.

Yeah, now we at the mall, yeah, buy it all
Enjoying the fruits of success and wealth by indulging in shopping sprees.

Yeah, Dior on my feet, but I don't walk at all
Flaunting luxury fashion while simultaneously acknowledging the privilege of having others do the walking or driving for them.

Yeah, Mustard on the beat, this shit takin' off
Crediting DJ Mustard for helping to propel the artist's music career to new heights.

Yeah, my brother keep it with 'em, he don't play at all
Having a trustworthy and dependable sibling or friend who is always prepared for anything that may come their way.

Yeah, they can't stop greatness
Confidently believing in one's own potential and talent, and feeling unstoppable.

It's levels to this shit, just gotta have patience
Acknowledging the incremental progress and hard work required to achieve different levels of success.

Put my mom in a new car, that shit was outdated
Being able to provide for loved ones and upgrade their quality of life with the financial success achieved.

So do me a favor, don't do me no favors
Not wanting to owe anyone anything or have them hold favors over the artist's head, preferring to achieve success through their own hard work and merits.

I be rollin' with a Glock
Carrying a firearm for protection or to assert dominance in certain risky situations.

I was hungry in the box, copin' lonely
Reflecting on the struggles and isolation of being incarcerated in prison.

Yeah, I put a sock right in her mouth 'cause she keep moanin'
Describing a sexual encounter with explicit language and dominant behavior.

Even when I was posted on the block, they said I'm chosen
Being recognized and respected as a successful figure or leader even in difficult or dangerous environments.

I was comin' up short and takin' losses but I was growin'
Acknowledging the difficult experiences and setbacks that ultimately contributed to personal growth and success.

It's lonely at the top but I like the view right here
Still acknowledging the loneliness of success, but also reveling in the feeling of achievement and the advantageous position it puts the artist in.

Broke niggas givin' advices but I do not hear 'em
Ignoring unsolicited advice from those who haven't achieved the same level of success.

Fuck that, I shed the streets 'cause it was costin' me my peace
Making the decision to leave a dangerous or toxic environment for the sake of personal well-being and happiness.

I got the leather printed feline, my wrist look like piss
Boasting about expensive and flashy accessories, in this case a watch.

And I ain't worried 'bout no bitch, I'm gettin' branzino fish
Prioritizing success and luxury living over romantic relationships or loyalty to women.
