Pete Rock, Smif-N-Wessun, Memphis Bleek - Top of the World lyrics

My mind ain't here, shit been gone (Nigga)
Niggas can't comprehend the shit that I'm on
(I'm coo coo for cocoa puffs nigga)
Raised as a rebel, danced with the devil
Niggas can't get on my level swing at me!
I'm history in the makin'
Be with the dreads so they think I'm Jamaican
They throw consignment on the loan
I get it and I run it back like Thomas Jones
Play my position like a wide out
(Like a wide out)
Guns in the slot when I ride out
(Slot when I ride out) and I'm H-N-IC
From N-Y-C! Free Prodigy!
Sling more O's than the alphabet
If I ain't got it, they ain't invent it yet
You know the city of the gunplay
Make a million dollars on any given sunday

We seen hard time

Came from the bottom so we mean on the grind
(We on top of the world)

Big dreams in my eyes

Though some fail others succeed over time
(We on top of the world)

And reach for the skies

All you gotta do (Is believe you can fly
We on top of the world)

Go hard

In due time, find true reward

When you shine

That's when you on top of the world
(We on top of the world)
You on top of the world
(We on top of the world)
Top of the world (We on top of the world)

Top, when I shine, you shine
Everybody get in position in due time
New York State of Mind, always on the grind
Seventeen shots in the 9
Stay away from swine, pigs they be one us
FUCK the informants
Tell them motherfuckers that I'm tourin
Plus tell the haters
I crossed the equator - twice
I done seen places where it's
Six months a night but I come from the crib
Flytraps on the ceiling roaches on the wall
But I'm hustlin out the building
Smokers cop and go
Lady on the phone tellin cops 'bout the flow
But this is Get Low, seen in Jamaica
Migratin from the stress
They call us kush gang cause
We only smoke the best (Best)
With the Smif-N Wes', Brooklyn show respect
YES!

We seen hard time

Came from the bottom so we mean on the grind
(We on top of the world)

Big dreams in my eyes

Though some fail others succeed over time
(We on top of the world)

And reach for the skies

All you gotta do (Is believe you can fly
We on top of the world)

Go hard

In due time, find true reward

When you shine

That's when you on top of the world
(We on top of the world)
You on top of the world
(We on top of the world)
Top of the world (We on top of the world)

Yeah! I'm in love with New York
I ain't talkin 'bout Tiffany
New York I'm in love with my city
From the grimey to the gritty from
The shiny to the ritzy
From the courtyard to the Garden
Where the Knicks be
Fitted cap Yankee, pitcher like Pettitte
In the dougie blowin stankee
I know how to get it
Plus the repertoire lanky
I know how to spit it
See me at the world series in
The race for the pennant
I'm a New York Giant - Name on the poster
Couldn't even be as high if you
Was sittin on my shoulders
Feel like I could put the
Brooklyn Bridge on my back
Strong high I rep the city I
Ain't talkin 'bout a tat
You can tell where I'm from it
Don't matter where I'm at
From the Tim's to the grin to
The jeans to the strap
With a grand lookin mean to
The means we get trapped
Know we mean everything that we
Scream in our rap

We seen hard time

Came from the bottom so we mean on the grind
(We on top of the world)

Big dreams in my eyes

Though some fail others succeed over time
(We on top of the world)

And reach for the skies

All you gotta do (Is believe you can fly
We on top of the world)

Go hard

In due time, find true reward

When you shine

That's when you on top of the world
(We on top of the world)
You on top of the world
(We on top of the world)
Top of the world (We on top of the world)
