On Top
Flume/Flume Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All that I want in this life is the chance to do my thing
Yeah
I want the top
All my people right there at the back of the spot
I need the top
If you know me y'all now need to stop
All my people there back of the spot, now don't be shy
Yeah
And you don't just wake up rich one day
This kind of life never just slip your way
I gave up taking care free trips to the Bay
Cali banned us 'cause I got a flip in LA
Paris bound 'cause a new video's on the way
No breaks for me, no vaca's for me
I advance admit it before I live it
Watch out, they don't finish
I want the top
All my people right there at the back of the spot
I need the top
If you know me y'all now need to stop
I need the top
All my people there back of the spot, now don't be shy
Yeah
Drinks on chill, got drinks on chill
Lights get dim and I think I will
I work so hard that I think I will
Yeah, I had a long week, bitch, how you think I feel?
History favors the bulldog
Roast something, make sure my story gets told
Make sure our story gets told
The night's forever young, it's us that gets old
All that I want in this life is the chance to do my thing
All that I want in this life is the chance to do my thing
Yeah
I want the top
All my people right there at the back of the spot
I need the top
If you know me y'all now need to stop
I need the top
All my people there back of the spot, now don't be shy
Yeah
I want the top top top top top
All my people right there at the back of the spot
I need the top top top top top
If you know me y'all now need to stop
I need the top top top top top
All my people there back of the spot, now don't be shy
Yeah
Yeah
I want the top top top top top
All my people right there at the back of the spot
I need the top top top top top
If you know me y'all now need to stop
I need the top top top top top
All my people there back of the spot, now don't be shy
I want the top top top top top
All my people right there at the back of the spot
I need the top top top top top
If you know me y'all now need to stop

All my people there back of the spot, now don't be shy

Success and wealth are not handed to you on a platter; you have to work hard for it. I had to sacrifice my leisure time and opportunities to get where I am today. Cali won't let us come back due to a mishap I had in LA, but I'm already planning my next move - a shoot in Paris. I don't take a break because I want to achieve my aspirations before it's too late. I don't put off planning - I am proactive in ensuring the outcome I desire. The competition is fierce, and I have to stay focused and vigilant to achieve my goal.
Drinks on chill, got drinks on chill
Lights get dim and I think I will
I work so hard that I think I will
Yeah, I had a long week, bitch, how you think I feel?
I have a good stock of drinks, and the atmosphere sets the tone for unwinding. I have been dedicating all my time and energy towards my project, and I deserve a break. I'm feeling a sense of achievement and satisfaction that comes from giving my all. I've been toiling day and night, and I'm exhausted. How do you think I feel?
History favors the bulldog
Roast something, make sure my story gets told
Make sure our story gets told
The night's forever young, it's us that gets old
The past is kinder to the strong-willed and the tenacious. We should do something that leaves a lasting impression and makes our journey worthwhile. Our narrative is vital, and it's crucial that we leave an impact. Let's make the most of our youth, for it won't last forever.
