Top Of The World
Sam Huber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turned my back on people
Friends and family
The ones I loved
Lied, deceived and cheated
Did what I needed
to rise above

Hustle up
and hustle down
All over this town
Got no regret
Earned my respect
Ain't gonna be no clown

I made it Ma
I've come this far
I'm on top of the world
I made it ma
I've come this far
I'm on top of the world

Been to hell and back now
No brag just facts now
Had a hard way to go
This is my story
Got fame and glory
So now you know

A hustle here
a hustle there
I've hustled everywhere
Got no regret
Earned my respect
Don't give a damn
I just don't care

I made it Ma
I've come this far
I'm on top of the world
I gave it all
Just to take a fall
I'm on top of the world
Tell her that I'm sorry
She don't have to worry, no, oh oh oh ooh
Didn't mean to hurt you
Didn't mean to do you wrong, oh oh oh ooh
I made it Ma
I've come this far
I'm on top of the world
I gave it all
Just to take a fall
I'm on top of the world
Tell her that I'm sorry
She don't have to worry, no, oh oh oh ooh
Didn't mean to hurt you
Didn't mean to do you wrong, oh oh oh ooh
I made it Ma
I've come this far
I'm on top of the world
I gave it all
Just to take a fall
I'm on top of the world
I made it Ma
I've come this far
I'm on top of the world
I gave it all
Just to take a fall





I'm on top of the world
