To the Top
The Urban Sophisticates Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chorus:
To the top, we rock nonstop
With a pair of Doc Martens and a Jordache watch (Go ahead)
To the beat, please don't sleep
I've only been rapping for about two weeks

Chorus
To the tizzle, live from the grizzle
And when it comes to currency I've only got a little, what what
And it don't stop, word to big John Thompson and the great P-Rock

Extroverted, nah near nervous
Me and Ricky workin the music production service
I write cursive, the penmanship's worthless
The words worth wisdom we gettin' it all in them

In the Range Rover, I mean Chevy Lumina
Tapedecks and manual lockss we rock spots
Now further back the rest go crazy
Cause ven if you got no rhythm, it's all gravy, what what

Chorus x2
To the top, we rock nonstop
With a pair of Doc Martens and a Jordache watch (Go ahead)
To the beat, please don't sleep
I've only been singing for about two weeks

I've been rappin since I was thirteen
Alert working the virtuous earth scene
And I'm still third string

Been lowing, intro-ing, hymns flowing, trends glowing
Dem showing Benton the product you blend on it

Workin to witness it, mergin the differences
Servin', circlin' the words with urban sophisticates
Lower third, been
US, been here
We own hip-hop
You just live here

Rick drift with me
Bent spit sickly
Now then settle with level the riff to give me
Then climb the beat, you sleep, wake up
It's game time you need your sneaks laced up

Chorus x2
To the top, we rock nonstop
With a pair of Doc Martens and a Jordache watch (Go ahead)
To the beat, please don't sleep
I've only been rapping for about two weeks

Swing to the left
It's 6 in the morning and I got bad breath
I'm quick to listen, I'm soft to the touch
But the teachers in class said I talk too much

Picture me liquor-free, chillin in the back
With my neck makin my head bounce to the track

Ladies and gentleman, all the way live
My white girls put up your hands and don't hide
My black girls put your hands and go nuts
I want your phone number but I got no guts
A lot of class and know how to dress, that's a plus
So make noise if you've never heard of us

Chorus x2
To the top, we rock nonstop
With a pair of Doc Martens and a Jordache watch (Go ahead)




To the beat, please don't sleep
I've only been singing for about two weeks
