[Chorus: B.O.B.]
|
I used to dream (I used to dream) oh whoa
|
About the money and the cars and girls (and the girls)
|
But now I sing (now I sing) oh whoa
|
Because I'm sitting on top of the world (the whole world)
|
And now I sing sing sing sing cause I'm sitting on top of the world
|
And now I sing sing sing sing sitting on top of the world
|
|
[Verse 1: T.I.]
|
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
|
I'm rapping now reminiscing and god damn it we did it
|
From trapping standing and pitching with rich we stand in the kitchen
|
Splitting it eight ways flip it in 8 days
|
Thought that wildin unruly it was just the way to behave
|
Kept the weight and the yay for most the paper we made in all dimes
|
I ain't lying 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 G's that other shit I don't hear
|
Shit they so far in the rear how would I even care
|
I'm too busy being a player staring at niggas careers
|
But talk about it for years and now we finally here
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I used to dream (I used to dream) oh whoa
|
About the money and the cars and girls (and the girls)
|
But now I sing (now I sing) oh whoa
|
Because I'm sitting on top of the world (the whole world)
|
And now I sing sing sing sing cause I'm sitting on top of the world
|
And now I sing sing sing sing sitting on top of the world
|
|
[Verse 2: Ludacris]
|
They say what goes up must come down but I ain't reached my cruising altitude
|
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 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 glamor
|
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 shouldn't act nahh suckers
|
We see Samuel L.Jackson like what's up mother fucker
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I used to dream (I used to dream) oh whoa
|
About the money and the cars and girls (and the girls)
|
But now I sing (now I sing) oh whoa
|
Because I'm sitting on top of the world (the whole world)
|
And now I sing sing sing sing cause I'm sitting on top of the world
|
And now I sing sing sing sing sitting on top of the world
|
|
[Verse 3: T.I.]
|
I know them haters don't stop plotting and wish you would fall
|
Cause I'm standing on top looking down at it all
|
I see you down there to ya'll this ain't like I got it all
|
Homie I ain't get enough I'm still trying to triple up
|
That's why we got is street cred and akoo building up
|
Say I'm doing too much shit I say I ain't did enough
|
Remember saying damn if I could just get to a million plus
|
And now I'm like shit what the fuck is a million bucks
|
Triple that on my bond thanks to bigs and run
|
But never mind what I've been through just look at what I become
|
All the 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 it's all they can see
|
They don't notice none of my family did that since me
|
| I broke that |
