trae - sittin' on top of the world lyrics
[hook x4]
sitting on top of the world
[trae]
i really wish that i was, sitting on top of the world
cause lately i’ve been in my own zone, stressing so much i’m about to hurl
i don’t wanna lose my focus, in case you ain’t noticed it’s hopeless
in the ghetto, cause n-gg-z’ll hold you down and never let go
but i maintain, ducking and dodging the rain
wishing one day i’ll get away, and be on top of my game
cause for trae, everyday struggling is what i get to feel
if i feel anything else, i swear to god it wasn’t real
so i mash on, and get my cash on
f-ck being broke, everyday i get my stash on
it ain’t no telling, if i’ma get to see the better days
i would rather be living, so mama say i better pray
and forget what them n-gg-z say, i know they be hating mine
i’ve been stuck on bad luck, i don’t think they want mine
so i remain, hoping god gon put me on top of his list
i’ll probably never get to see it, so for now i sit and wish i was
[hook x4]
[trae]
my mentality of being broke, done got me trying to get it
but i don’t rest, so everytime i touch the game i’ll be the best and never less
i ain’t got sh-t to lose, and i want the bottom to the top
so everyday i give it all i got, a hundred percent and never ever stop
i ain’t gon quit for sh-t, even though my pain is forever
i lost a lot with paying dues, and tried to keep it together
it’s like i’m zoning everyday, and then i’m lost in a daze
since i’m addicted to reality, i’ll be stuck in my ways
and i can’t change it if i wanted to, with what i’m going through
it ain’t n-body, trying to help me through
that’s why my att-tude be out of control, with all the time they gave my dog
i bet he losing it slow, but still i tell him not to fold
i’m gon ride for the team, and try to make it to the top
and if i never make it, least i’m still respected on the blocks
i know it ain’t a lot, but in the hood i’ll be a legend
helping people make it through, they hard times for a blessing like i’m
[hook x4]
[trae]
i never knew, if i would end up being po’
and if folks but still i knew, that i would end up being realer than most
and maybe that explains, why i haven’t made it yet
i can almost bet that you n-gg-z, don’t get no respect
selling your soul and playing dirty with the devil, i choose to be a rebel
never teaming up with that sucker, cause i’m on another level
and it ain’t too many on it, i promise i’m a loner
ever since me and my brother separated, i’ve been goner
on the corner trying to get it, the best way i can
that’s why i choose to get up and get out, and be a man
and it ain’t no giving me respect, i’d rather take my own
and ain’t no running from death, i’d rather be toting chrome
and i don’t think that they wanna see me, on top of the world
cause if they did then they would fear me, when i be stopping this world
from all the bullsh-t, these n-gg-z be filling it with
and if i can’t, then i’ma never be calling it quits i wish i was
