[B.o.B - On Top Of The World lyrics]
I used to dream (I used to dream) oh whoa
About the money and the cars and girls
(and the girls)
But now I sing (now I sing) oh whoa
Because I'm sitting on top of the world
(the whole world)
And now I sing sing sing sing cause
I'm sitting on top of the world
And now I sing sing sing sing
Sitting on top of the world
Man I remember before I say that
Wait let me issue this statement
No way should reflection be
Mistaking for glorification
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'm rapping now reminiscing and god
Damn it we did it
From trapping standing and pitching with rich
We stand in the kitchen
Splitting it eight ways flip it in 8 days
Thought that wildin unruly it was
Just the way to behave
Kept the weight and the yay for most
The paper we made in all dimes
I ain't lying the pleasure was all mine
Have big work to move but
We served the small time
I always outshined the niggas
With small minds
Who would of thought we would be
Arguably the greatest of all time
Around here we developed such
A sound down here
But duplicate it off the steel it
Can only be found here
Only listen to G's that other
Shit I don't hear
Shit they so far in the rear
How would I even care
I'm too busy being a player
Staring at niggas careers
But talk about it for years
And now we finally here
I used to dream (I used to dream) oh whoa
About the money and the cars and girls
(and the girls)
But now I sing (now I sing) oh whoa
Because I'm sitting on top of the world
(the whole world)
And now I sing sing sing sing cause
I'm sitting on top of the world
And now I sing sing sing sing
Sitting on top of the world
They say what goes up must come down
But I ain't reached my cruising altitude
Take a look at what I did but can
You imagine what I'm about to do
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
Exceeded expectations even at def jam
Cause, I married the streets and Atlanta
Has been my best man
My momma quit her job and now
She works with six figures
Cause, I'm a self made
Nappy headed rich nigga
Private planes help me travel in peace
To four cities in one day and
Four countries in one week
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
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 strait's Atlanta
With women with table manners
Order in Singapore and lobster
Celebrating coming from nothing to winning
Grammys and rappers winning oscars
And they say rappers shouldn't
Act nahh suckers we see Samuel LJackson like
What's up mother fucker
I used to dream (I used to dream) oh whoa
About the money and the cars and girls
(and the girls)
But now I sing (now I sing) oh whoa
Because I'm sitting on top of the world
(the whole world)
And now I sing sing sing sing cause
I'm sitting on top of the world
And now I sing sing sing sing
Sitting on top of the world
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 see you down there to ya'll this
Ain't like I got it all
Homie I ain't get enough I'm
Still trying to triple up
That's why we got is street
Cred and akoo building up
Say I'm doing too much shit I
Say I ain't did enough
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 bond thanks to 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 sold dope and dropped out of school
Seems it's 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
Just for standing around wishing huh
And while you standing around looking dumb
I make it happen taking action over
Time got damn good at it
I used to dream (I used to dream) oh whoa
About the money and the cars and girls
(and the girls)
But now I sing (now I sing) oh whoa
Because I'm sitting on top of the world
(the whole world)
And now I sing sing sing sing cause
I'm sitting on top of the world
And now I sing sing sing sing
Sitting on top of the world
About the money and the cars and girls
(and the girls)
But now I sing (now I sing) oh whoa
Because I'm sitting on top of the world
(the whole world)
And now I sing sing sing sing cause
I'm sitting on top of the world
And now I sing sing sing sing
Sitting on top of the world
Man I remember before I say that
Wait let me issue this statement
No way should reflection be
Mistaking for glorification
Now I remember so vivid me
And my niggas was living
