| 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 |
