Top of the Line
Rittz Lyrics

Raised, in the home, of the brave, and begun
Born in a patriotic household and started paving a path

Paving, the way, was embraced, by the slum
Started paving a way for himself and his community of the underprivileged

Labeled as strange, but his name, will become
Although labeled as weird, he will make a name for himself

Top of the line, yeah
He has reached the pinnacle of success

I suppose that your eyes were closed the whole time
People did not see his rise to success

I've been on the rise for almost five years
He has been working towards success for almost five years now

But most of my peers they hope I nose dived
His peers wish he would fail

Like an aircraft that crashed
His peers want him to fail in a terrible manner

They congrats you, dap you
They congratulate you to your face

When your back is turned they throw knives
But talk bad about you behind your back

I ain't handicapped or slow or no average Joe
He is not disabled, slow or ordinary

I see past the smokin' strobe light
He sees through the flashy exterior

Put me up against your favorite rapper
He challenges to be compared against your favorite rapper

You sayin' snap and harder than me, close but no dice
You might say another rapper is better, but the difference is marginal

The difference be in my consistency and I don't need MC's to ghost write
Unlike other rappers, he writes his own lyrics and is consistent with his quality

Who you know that pitch that always throws strikes
Who else is consistently successful like he is?

Every time I get the ball across the goal line
He has reached success time and again

I done made it out the bottom on the slow climb
He has overcome obstacles and reached success gradually

If you talking to my dogs they all gon' cosign
People close to him will always support and agree with him

And I'm sitting on a gold mine (gold mine)
He has a lot of potential

Songs I write are from the heart it ain't meant for the closed mind (closed mind)
He writes songs that are genuine and not meant for the narrow-minded

This more than bars they're metaphors, it's a cure for the soul, I, (soul, I)
His lyrics are not just words, but they can heal your soul as well

Seal with the end of your rope and now I'm right here, closing by
He has reached the endpoint and is near the finish line

Third time's a charm, I already let them know, twice
This is his third successful album

Let me set the record straight I'm the best, there ain't no one better, fuckin' let the rest debate
He firmly believes he is the best rapper and there's no point arguing about it

I accept the hate that'll desecrate I just set the pace
He accepts the hate and doesn't let it get to him, and sets the pace for others to follow

Set to detonate, some that disagree
He is confident he will explode and succeed despite the naysayers

Must be deaf cause they, underestimate
Those who don't believe in him are misguided

Me, but that's okay
It's alright for people to underestimate him

I'mma let you scream, let it resonate
He's willing to let the haters scream and echo their negativity

Till they remember my name, I'm Rittz
Eventually, they'll remember his name

Bitch and I'm back in the face like paow
He's returned with a vengeance

Ain't nobody gonna come and take my crown
No one can dethrone him

They be takin' me for granted I be killin' everything you hearin'
He's been underrated, but he's killing every song he releases

Gonna lyrically blaze eyebrows
His lyrics are going to surprise everyone

We ain't got to double time I do it eighth mile style
He doesn't need to rap fast like Eminem, he's unique in his own way

Born in P.A. and was raised down South
He was born in Pennsylvania but raised in the south

Wanna make a city hit the stage
He's ready to perform and captivate an audience

I bounce, from the north side up, A-Town down
He traveled from the north to the south, represents Atlanta's A-Town

Some of these MC's need CPR
Some rappers need to be resuscitated, they're not doing well

Listen to the wack MP3's I'm bored
He's tired of hearing bad music

Your video is hard for me to sit through
He can't even watch bad music videos

Like Kanye's speech at the MTV Awards
Referring to Kanye's infamous speech at the MTV VMAs in 2009

(You on point Rittz) sí señor
He's on point and ready to go

I got a pair of new shoes you probably never seen before
He has unique style with new shoes that people haven't seen yet

I used to be dead broke with some cheap Louis V decor, inside a Regal that was leakin' oil
He used to be very poor with only fake designer decor and a broken-down car

But now I cost five G's for a feature the middle finger up begging for a confrontation
Now he commands $5,000 for a feature and doesn't care about those who wish to challenge him

And #FuckAnyoneWhoSaysHashtagInAConversation
He hates when people say the word hashtag in conversation

Man I throw the peace sign Assalamualaikum
He's a peaceful person who greets with Assalamualaikum

Cli-N-Tel was the crew and the congregation
His crew was called Cli-N-Tel

People thinkin' I've become complacent
People believe he's become too comfortable and lazy

I'm just lookin' at the game feelin' nauseated
But he's actually disgusted with the state of the music industry

Lotta' rappers goin' pop like a condom breakin'
He dislikes when rappers cross over to pop music

Sick of concentratin' on my skills when it's gonna be useless (gonna be useless)
He feels his rapping skills aren't appreciated enough

All the music I hear just sounds the same
He's tired of hearing music that all sounds identical

A bunch of wannabe Futures
He dislikes rappers who try to sound like Future

You wanna be Eazy, you gotta be Ruthless
If you want to be like Eazy-E, you have to be ruthless as well

You wanna be me, then you gotta me the smoothest
If you want to be like him, you have to be the smoothest

Gonna seem breezy watchin' me do this
He makes it look easy

Got a deep teacher and follow me students
He has a lot of devoted fans

Hit 'em with the woah (woah)
He's going to surprise everyone with his skills

That work everytime
His skills always work out well

Then we down start singing for the hoes (ho)
Then he'll start rapping for the women

Trippin off that line and some punk
People might be confused or upset at his lyrics and style

Might overdose, off this dope I write
He's so good at rapping that people might get addicted

A lotta rappers wanna act like rock stars
Many rappers want to be treated like rock stars

When they square as fuck but that's me for real
But he actually deserves it

I got the pills and I'm fucking with a soft heart
He has the talent and he can appeal to everyone, even those who are emotional

Fist fight with my girl in the hotel punching the mirror
He's a real person with real problems, like fighting with his girlfriend

Breaking the door and the armoire
And even breaking things when he's angry

Shit I can't recall the last fifteen years wishing I could do an interview with Nardwuar
He's had a long career and wishes he could do an interview with Nardwuar to reflect on it

I got an early morning flight to Hartsfield
He has an early flight to the airport in Atlanta

Taking airplane shots witha chilli chese hotdog
He's celebrating with shots and food before his flight

Never gonna fall off, man I know I'm on now
He's confident he'll never lose his success or influence

Got a bunch of unknown numbers in my call log
He has a large amount of people trying to contact him, some with unknown numbers

People got me all wrong
People misunderstand him or underestimate him

See my hair and the beanie and they get the wrong idea
People judge him by his appearance

Say I look homeless shit my shoes two-hundred my shades two-fifty a pair
But his shoes and sunglasses are expensive

Watch out you'll go blind
His diamond jewelry is blindingly sparkly

By the diamonds the side of my pinky that sparkle and shine
His pinky ring has beautiful diamonds that sparkle

They call me Rittz, bitch
He's known by the name Rittz and is not afraid to show it
