T.I., Ludacris, B.o.B - On Top of the World lyrics

Rich by popular demand
(The wait is over homie)
Yes, it is! A Town, connect!
(Know the city gon' feel this) Damn right!
Say Toot, I know you see me
('Cris) What up, boy?
I know both our pops lookin at us
Wayne Bridges, what up? Let's go!
(Big Phil, we made this shit happen, homie)
History in the makin'! (Momma I did it)

I used to dream
(I used to dream) ohh-whoa (ohh)
About the money and the cars and girls
(and the girls)
But now I sing (now I sing) ohh-whoa! (ohh)
Because I'm sitting on top of the world!
(the whole world) and now I sing
(ay) sing (ay) sing (ay) sing (ay)
Cause I'm sittin on top of the world!
(ay, ay, ay, ay) and now I sing


(ay) sing (ay) sing (ay) sing (ay)
Cause I'm sittin on top of the world!
(ay, ay, yeah, yeah)

Man, I remember, 'fore I say that, wait
Let me issue this statement
No way should reflection be
Mistaken for glorification
Now, I remember so vivid
Me and my niggas was livin'
Sub-standard condition
Still handling business
Still laughin' and trippin'
Still having the bitches
I'm rapping now, reminiscing, and goddamn it
We did it from trappin'
Standin' & pitchin' with rich we
Stand in the kitchen
Splittin' it eight ways
Flip it in eight days
Thought that wild and unruly was
Just the way to behave
Kept the weight and the yay'
But most the paper we made
In all dimes, I ain't lyin
The pleasure was all mine
Had big work to move
But we served the small time
I always outshined the niggas
With small minds
Who woulda thought we'd be arguably
The greatest of all time
'Round here? we develop such
A sound down here
Been duplicated often, still
Can only be found here only listen to Gs
That other shit I don't hear
Shit, they so far in the rear
Why would I even care?
I'm too busy a player
Steering niggas careers
Been talkin 'bout it for years
And now we finally here

I used to dream
(I used to dream) ohh-whoa (ohh)
About the money and the cars and girls
(and the girls)
But now I sing (now I sing) ohh-whoa! (ohh)
Because I'm sitting on top of the world!
(the whole world) and now I sing
(ay) sing (ay) sing (ay) sing (ay)
Cause I'm sittin on top of the world!
(ay, ay, ay, ay) and now I sing
(ay) sing (ay) sing (ay) sing (ay)
Cause I'm sittin on top of the world!
(ay, ay, yeah, yeah)

Luda! Hear my heart on this one!
True story! Rest in peace, Wayne Bridges!

They say what goes up must come down
But I ain't reach my cruisin' altitude
(nope) 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 to
Put one of my partners right
Through culinary art school
Now he my personal chef, so that bread
He get it put 'em all in houses
Cleaned up all of my friends' credit (true)
And now they witnessed all the
Glitz and the glamour
Catch us eatin' at Strait's Atlanta
With women with table manners
Ordering Singaporean lobster
Celebrating coming from nothing
To winning Grammys, and
Rappers winning Oscars, yeah
And they say rappers shouldn't act, nah
Suckers
We see Samuel L jackson, like, "Wassup
Motherfucker?!"

I used to dream
(I used to dream) ohh-whoa (ohh)
About the money and the cars and girls
(and the girls)
But now I sing (now I sing) ohh-whoa! (ohh)
Because I'm sitting on top of the world!
(the whole world) and now I sing
(ay) sing (ay) sing (ay) sing (ay)
Cause I'm sittin on top of the world!
(ay, ay, ay, ay) and now I sing
(ay) sing (ay) sing (ay) sing (ay)
Cause I'm sittin on top of the world!
(ay, ay, yeah, yeah)

I know them haters don't stop
Plottin' and wishin' we fall
Cause I'm standin' on top lookin'
Down at it all
I know from down there to y'all
It seems like I got it all
Homie, I ain't get enough
We still tryin' to triple up
That's why we got StreetCred
And Akoo building up say I'm doing too much
Shit I say I ain't did enough
Remember sayin', "Damn
If I could just get to a million plus"
And now I'm like, "Shit
What the fuck is a million bucks?"
Tripled that on my bond thanks
To Biggs and Run
But never mind what I been through
Just look at what I become
All this 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 that'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 minimums
But not when the judge sentence 'em
Cousins in college
Where you think they get tuition from?
Just from standin 'round wishin, huh?
And while you standing 'round lookin' dumb
I make it happen
Takin' action, over time, got damn good at it

I used to dream
(I used to dream) ohh-whoa (ohh)
About the money and the cars and girls
(and the girls)
But now I sing (now I sing) ohh-whoa! (ohh)
Because I'm sitting on top of the world!
(the whole world) and now I sing
(ay) sing (ay) sing (ay) sing (ay)
Cause I'm sittin on top of the world!
(ay, ay, ay, ay) and now I sing
(ay) sing (ay) sing (ay) sing (ay)
Cause I'm sittin on top of the world!
(ay, ay, yeah, yeah)
