On Top

Dude, you ain't gotta show me where the bottom is
 I been there, homeless, no dolla's and model-less
 Drank and weed habit with no trees and bottle-less
 Think of me dying in jail, broke with cut wrists
 I had to wake up like fuck this
 Realize I was struggling with more than just the government
 Take advantage of this life I was blessed with
 I started working on them issues I was wrestling with
 I was stressing and shit,
 my existence in this world, I was questioning it
 If it wasn't for my girl I'd be less than rich
 I be lost in the game, a real pessimist, no hope, no shame
 I'm the first to admit, I was probably to blame
 I was putting too much worth into frivolous thangs
 See, in order for rebirth you gotta die, mayne
 And if you really make it, you gotta try, mayne
 You know it feel good when you sitting on top
 Like floating through the hood when you sitting in that drop
 When you sitting on top you can feel it in your heart
 I'm sitting on top, I'm sitting on top
 You know it feel good when you sitting on top
 Like floating through the hood when you sitting in that drop
 When you sitting on top you can feel it in your heart
 I'm sitting on top-I'm sitting on top
 I used to fake that feeling
 Now I exercise and I finally realize I could make that feeling
 Got the power to paint pictures, create that feeling
 And it's all up to me, what the world finna see
 That's a beautiful position to be
 I was a teen, like Martin Luther King, I had a dream in the east
 Took the dream down south to the streets of S.C.
 And now it's people down there that'd kill to be me
 And its people oversea's had to tell me believe
 I was starting to lose focus, had to stop and breathe
 Had to realize once again
 If I don't slow my roll, I'll end up in the penn
 Life still hard for a black man, no gambling
 I'm still hitting craps, man, still scrambling
 Trying to make it in the game without a kilo
 I know the money gon' come though, gotta be free though
 Gotta get mind right, my money be alright
 Gotta get mind right, my money be alright
 Gotta get mind right, my money be alright
 Next time they see me I'll be sitting in the limelight
 You know it feel good when you sitting on top
 Like floating through the hood when you sitting in that drop
 When you sitting on top you can feel it in your heart
 I'm sitting on top, I'm sitting on top
 You know it feel good when you sitting on top
 Like floating through the hood when you sitting in that drop
 When you sitting on top you can feel it in your heart
 I'm sitting on top, I'm sitting on top
