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 niggaz`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
Fuck 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 niggaz 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

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 shit 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 shit, 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 nobody, trying to help me through
That`s why my attitude 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

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 niggaz, 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 bullshit, these niggaz be filling it with
And if I can`t, then I`ma never be calling it quits I wish I was
