Lyrics
Brandy, Darkchild
Mase kid, Harlem on the rise
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
I went from Helly Hansen to mini mansions
The girls in Aruba doing belly dancing
Spent half of my advance in jars from Branson
To make it through my circumstances
But you know I'm wiser now, move like Keyser now
Got a butter soft leather just to hide my pound
Got a house in the valley come and find me now
Got enough dough to buy the town
So I might give a six to my chick, Benz to my mom
Crib so big it look like the center gone
Give her a couch just to spill Henney on
And been a don since Lotto's and Benneton, come on
Some people say that I am not the same girl
They say I think that I am in my own world
What makes them think that I have changed? Yeah
A little dough cannot erase my problems
Me like you, I have to try and solve them
Yes, everything is quite the same, whoa
I'm just trying to be me (Be me)
Doing what I got to do (Doing what I got to do)
Some people think that I'm (That I'm)
Just sitting on top of the world (Sitting, sitting on top of the world)
I'm just trying to be me (Yeah)
Proving what I've got to prove (Proving)
Some people think that I'm (That I'm)
Just sitting on top of the world (Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sitting on top of the world
Sitting on top of the world
Sitting on top of the world
Top of the world
Top of the world
Top of the world
Sitting on top of the world
Top of the world
Top of the world
Top of the world (Yeah)
I wonder why it's often said that my life's
A fairy tale and everything is so right
I wish that you could know the truth, yeah
My life is real so please don't get it twisted
Problems the same and gotta be dealt with
These are the things I wish you knew, oh
Always in someone's eye, so many questions why
How is it to be down with me, with me
Afraid to express myself, always me and someone else
I need to be free but it's not that easy
I'm just trying to be me (Just trying to be me)
Doing what I got to do
Some people think that I'm (Sitting)
Just sitting on top of the world (Sitting on top of the world)
I'm just trying to be me
Proving what I've got to prove (Proving, no, no, no)
Some people think that I'm (That I'm)
Just sitting on top of the world (Sitting on top of the world)
Sitting on top of the world
Don't understand why (Don't understand why)
People think I don't have friends
Friends who knew me back when
This was my dream (No, no)
But nothing has changed
I still do the same things
Yo, we can cut the talking short if it ain't about cake
I ain't sitting on top, I want a house on the lake
I'm that snotty nosed cat with a new BM
If you mess wit' Bran' then I got to bruise your chin
I be with Puff, the girls be like, who's his friend
If I hit a chick once, she probably move me in
So you gotta tell me right now
Either you with the cats who make the hits
Or the one that see the chips
Slow down Mase, you're killing 'em
But don't stop it
What's the use of buying a weight
If I'ma have to chop it?
I used a love the lady till I learned her logic
She only mess wit' Mase, no the money ain't no object
If it ain't Cris', he won't pop it
If it ain't platinum with ice, he won't rock it
If it don't cost 60, he don't drop it
If it don't come with TV's, he don't cop it
You can stop it
I'm just trying to be me (I'm just trying)
Doing what I got to do (Oh-oh-oh)
Some people think that I'm (Think that I'm)
Just sitting on top of the world (Just sitting on top of the world)
I'm just trying to be me
Proving what I've got to prove (Proving what I've got to prove)
Some people think that I'm (Oh)
Just sitting on top of the world (Sitting on top of the world)
Sitting on top of the world
Yeah, yeah
Brandy on top of the world
Darkchild on top of the world
Sitting on top of the world
Mase be on top of the world, what?
Harlem World be on top of the world
Sitting on top of the world
Brandy on top of the world
Top of the world, top of the world, top of the world
Darkchild on top of the world
Sitting on top of the world
M-A-Dolla Sign-E all over the world
Top of the world, top of the world, top of the world
Brandy, all over the world
Sitting on top of the world
All over the world
All over the world
Sitting on top of the world
Yeah, yeah, yeah, what, what
Yeah, yeah, yeah, what, what, what
Sitting on top of the world
