|
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 |
|
im rapping now reminiscing and god damn it we made it |
|
from trapping standing and pitching with rich we stand in the kitchen |
|
splitting it eight ways flipping it 8 days |
|
thought that while in a room it was just the way to behave |
|
kept the weight and the yey for most the paper we made in all dimes |
|
i aint lieing 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 gs that other shit i dont hear |
|
shit they so far in the rear how would i even care |
|
im 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 whoah |
|
about the money and the cars and girls (and the girls) |
|
but now i sing (now i sing) oh whoah |
|
because im sitting on top of the world (the whole world) |
|
and now i sing sing sing sing cause im sitting on top of the world |
|

|
they say what goes up must come down but i aint reached my cruising altitude |
|
take a look at what i did but can you imagine what im about to do |
|
the places im bout to go and the money im bout to see |
|
gave bill gates some binoculaurs and said look out for me |
|
and see these 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 im 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 im 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 glamour |
|
catch us eating at straits 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 shouldnt act nahh suckers |
|
i used to dream (i used to dream) oh whoah |
|
about the money and the cars and girls (and the girls) |
|
but now i sing (now i sing) oh whoah |
|
because im sitting on top of the world (the whole world) |
|
and now i sing sing sing sing cause im sitting on top of the world |
|

|
so all we got is street cred and a cool building up |
|

|

|
triple that on my bun thanks to bigs and run |
|
but nevermind what ive been through just look at what i become |
|
all the shit ive avoided what i done for my sons |
|
hand dollars and momma just call her |
|

|

|
mandatory minimals but not when the judge sentence them |
|
