On Top Of The World
ti Lyrics

Rich by popular demand
I am wealthy because people want to hear my music

The wait is over homie
I have released new music after a long time

Yes it is
I confirm that the new music is out

A town connect
I am connected to my hometown Atlanta and I represent it

Know the city gon' feel this
The people in Atlanta will appreciate and relate to my music

Damn right
I am sure of what I am saying

Say Toob I know you see me
I acknowledge and greet my friend Toob who is watching me

Say Chris
I call out my friend Chris

What up boy
I ask my friend how he is doing

I know both our pops lookin' at us
Our fathers are proud of us and are watching over us

I used to dream (I used to dream) oh whoa About the money and the cars and girls (and the girls)
I used to fantasize about wealth, cars, and women

But now I see (now I see) oh whoa Because I'm sitting on top of the world (the whole world)
Now that I have achieved success, I understand that it feels like being on top of the world

And now I see (hey) see (hey) see (hey) see Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
I keep realizing that I am successful because I am on top of the world

Sitting on top of the world
I emphasize that I am successful and on top of the world

Man I remember before I say that wait let me issue this statement
Before I reminisce, let me make a statement

No way should reflection be mistaking for glorification
I am not glorifying my past by remembering it

Now I remember so vivid me and my niggas was living Sub-standard condition still handling business Still laughing and tripping still having the bitches
I remember a time when I was living poorly with my friends, but we still managed to conduct business and have fun

I'm rapping now reminiscing and goddamn it we made it
I am a successful rapper now and I reflect back on how far I have come with my friends

From trapping standing and pitching with rich we stand in the kitchen Splitting it eight ways flip it in eight days Thought that while in a room it was just the way to behave
We used to sell drugs and divide the profits eight ways, but we thought it was normal behavior

Kept the weight and the yey for most the paper we made in all dimes I ain't lying the pleasure was all mine
We kept the drugs and sold them to make money, and I enjoyed that lifestyle

Have big work to move but we served the small time
Although we had a lot of drugs to sell, we only sold a little at a time

I always out shined the niggas with small minds
I was always better than those with less intelligence

Who would of thought we would be arguably the greatest of all time
Nobody would have predicted our success

'Round here we developed such a sound down here But duplicate it off the steel it can only be found here Only listen to gs that other shit I don't hear
The music we create is unique to Atlanta and we only listen to our own type of music

Shit they so far in the rear how would I even care
I don't care about the music that others create because it doesn't matter to me

I'm too busy being a player staring at niggas careers Been talk about it for years and now we finally here
I am too focused on my own career and success to worry about others, and it feels good to have finally achieved it

They say what goes up must come down
People say that success is temporary

But I ain't reached my cruise altitude Take a look at what I did but can you imagine what I'm about to do
I haven't peaked yet and my future success will be even greater than my current achievements

The places I'm bout to go and the money I'm bout to see Gave Bill Gates some binoculars and said look out for me
I am destined for even greater success and I told Bill Gates to watch out for me

And see these expectations even at def jam Cause I married the streets and Atlanta has been my best man
I have high expectations even from my record label. I consider the streets where I came from as my spouse and Atlanta as my best friend

My momma quit her job and now she works with six figures Cause I'm a self-made nappy-headed rich nigga
I was able to make my mother quit her job and now she earns over $100,000, despite me being a self-made millionaire with curly hair

Private planes help me travel in peace To four cities in one day and four countries in one week
I can avoid crowds and travel in luxury by taking private planes, and I am able to visit multiple cities and countries quickly and with ease

Cause I work for myself and no one else cause I'm too smart too Put one of my partners right through culinary art school Now he my personal chef so that bread he get it
I work for myself because I am intelligent enough to run my own business. I was able to send my partner to culinary school, so now he works as my personal chef and earns money

Put them all in houses cleaned up all of my friends credit And now they witness all the glitz and the glamor Catch us eating at straits Atlanta with women with table manners Order in seeapore and lobster Celebrating coming from nothing to winning Grammy's and rappers winning Oscars
I was able to financially support my friends by buying them houses and improving their credit scores. They can now enjoy a luxurious lifestyle with me, such as dining with good manners and eating expensive foods. We celebrate our successes, including winning awards like Grammys and Oscars

And they say rappers shouldn't act nah suckers We see Samuel Jackson like whats up motherfucker!
People say that rappers should not act, but we met Samuel Jackson and greeted him casually

I know them haters don't stop plotting and wish you would fall Cause I'm standing on top looking down at it all
I know that my haters want me to fail, but I am successful and can look down on their attempts to bring me down

I see you down there to y'all this ain't like I got it all Homie I ain't get enough I'm still trying to triple up
I am aware that there are people who envy my success, but I am not content and am still trying to make even more money

So all we got is street cred and a cool building up Say I'm doing too much shit I say I ain't did enough
All I have is my reputation on the streets and a nice building. People may say that I am doing too much, but I think I haven't done enough yet

Remember saying damn if I could just get to a million plus And now I'm like shit what the fuck is a million bucks Triple that on my bun thanks to bigs and run
I used to think that making a million dollars was a big deal, but now that I have surpassed that, a million dollars is nothing. I owe my success to my friends Bigs and Run

But never mind what I've been through just look at what I become All the shit I've avoided what I done for my sons And daughters and momma just call her
I don't want to dwell on my past struggles, but instead focus on my achievements. I have worked hard to provide for my family and have always been there for my mother when she needs me

I sold dope and dropped out of school seems its all they can see They don't notice none of my family did that since me I broke that cycle now my family live a life of Mandatory minimals but not when the judge sentence them Cousins in college where you think they get tuition from (answer that)
People focus on my past of selling drugs and dropping out of school, but they don't see that I have broken that cycle and my family is now successful. My cousins are able to go to college and do not have to face jail since I have been able to provide for them

Jeffrey standing around wishing huh And while you standing around looking dumb I make it happen taking action over time goddamn good at it
While someone named Jeffrey is just hoping for something good, I am taking action and being successful at it over time
