Top Of The World
GVIN Lyrics

Yeah
Introduction to the song

Say you wanna sit on the top of the world
Addressing the listener's desire to achieve success

Well let me pass the message
Offering to help the listener convey their message

The boss said it ain't what's hot right now
Acknowledging that the current market may not favor the desired message

Well fuck it man Imma make him regret this
Determining to succeed despite opposition and criticism

You coming off too aggressive
Observing that the listener may be perceived as overly assertive

And how you gonna make it living young and reckless
Questioning the likelihood of success while living impulsively

Kid with the melody so infectious
Recognizing the musical talent of the listener

Beats colder than stones glued on your necklace
Complimenting the listener's music production skills

Cream seat Tesla we going electric
Boasting about the success that will come with making electric cars

Hurricane clouds from the east to the west end
Describing the breadth of his influence in the music industry

And I don't usually talk 'bout who the best is
Choosing not to engage in conversations about who is the best in the industry

Cause you already know who I know the best is
Hinting at a close relationship with someone who is widely recognized as the best

And I don't get affected when people tell me that the sound ain't connecting
Remaining confident despite negative feedback

I ain't mad gimme time Imma laugh
Assuring the listener that time will prove that the music is worthwhile

When you in the club tryna sneak in my section
Anticipating that others will try to ride his coattails to success

And I know
Reinforcing his certainty of his impending success

You know
Addressing the listener's awareness of their own aspirations

You wanna be on top of the world
Highlighting the listener's desire for success

She know
Acknowledging the support from others

We know
Referring to himself and his team as a collective entity

You gonna be on top of the world
Asserting that the listener will achieve their goals

I know
Reinforcing his confidence in the listener's ability to succeed

If you want it you better take it
Encouraging the listener to seize opportunities

I'm looking at the game and my spot is vacant
Asserting that there is room for him to succeed in the industry

When I get that grammy you gon' need a invitation
Confidently predicting future awards and success

To the celebration
Hinting at a grand celebration when he is successful

Fill my section in Delilah with some angel faces
Describing an upscale venue that he will fill with beautiful people

Presidential faces
Describing the high status of the people in his circle

We can take it to the crib residential wasted
Suggesting a celebration in his own home

The penthouse got a better view than the basement
Comparing his success to living in a penthouse versus a basement

Need a better view so I never been complacent
Acknowledging that he is always striving for greater achievements

Oh
Vocalization of excitement

It goes on and on
Describing the endless cycle of success

The man on the moon got a hell of a view
Comparing himself to someone in a highly successful and enviable position

Imma give him a show from dusk till dawn
Promising to continuously create great music

Oh the world goes on and on
Acknowledging that the world will continue to exist regardless of his own success or failure

Can he channel this insanity
Questioning his own ability to manage the pressures of success

Fucked up by humanity
Referencing the negative impacts of society on successful people

Yeah Yeah I know
Reinforcing his confidence in his own success

That you know
Addressing the listener's confidence in their own ability to succeed

You gonna be on top of the world
Asserting that the listener will achieve their goals

How you gonna be on top of the world
Posing a question to the listener about their own plan for success

Whoah
Vocalization of excitement
