Top of the World - Pete Rock, Smif-N-Wessun, Memphis Bleek

Raised as a rebel, danced with the devil

Niggas can’t get on my level swing at me!

I’m history in the makin'

Be with the dreads so they think I’m Jamaican

They throw consignment on the loan

I get it and I run it back like Thomas Jones

Play my position like a wide out (Like a wide out)

Guns in the slot when I ride out (Slot when I ride out)

And I’m H-N-I-C

From N-Y-C!

Free Prodigy!

Sling more O’s than the alphabet

If I ain’t got it, they ain’t invent it yet

You know the city of the gunplay

Make a million dollars on any given sunday

We seen hard time

Came from the bottom so we mean on the grind (We on top of the world!)

Big dreams in my eyes

Though some fail others succeed over time (We on top of the world!)

And reach for the skies

All you gotta do (Is believe you can fly) (We on top of the world!)

Go hard

In due time, find true reward

When you shine

That’s when you on top of the world (We on top of the world)

You on top of the world (We on top of the world)

Top of the world (We on top of the world)

Top, when I shine, you shine

Everybody get in position in due time

New York State of Mind, always on the grind

Seventeen shots in the 9

Stay away from swine, pigs they be one us

FUCK the informants, tell them motherfuckers that I’m tourin

Plus tell the haters, I crossed the equator — twice

I done seen places where it’s six months a night

But I come from the crib, flytraps on the ceiling

Roaches on the wall, but I’m hustlin out the building

Smokers cop and go, lady on the phone tellin cops 'bout the flow

But this is Get Low, seen in Jamaica, migratin from the stress

They call us kush gang cause we only smoke the best (Best)

With the Smif-N-Wes', Brooklyn show respect

YES!

We seen hard time

Came from the bottom so we mean on the grind (We on top of the world!)

Big dreams in my eyes

Though some fail others succeed over time (We on top of the world!)

And reach for the skies

All you gotta do (Is believe you can fly) (We on top of the world!)

Go hard

In due time, find true reward

When you shine

That’s when you on top of the world (We on top of the world)

You on top of the world (We on top of the world)

Top of the world (We on top of the world)

Yeah!

I’m in love with New York, I ain’t talkin 'bout Tiffany

New York I’m in love with my city

From the grimey to the gritty from the shiny to the ritzy

From the courtyard to the Garden where the Knicks be

Fitted cap Yankee, pitcher like Pettitte

In the dougie blowin stankee

I know how to get it plus the repertoire lanky

I know how to spit it

See me at the world series in the race for the pennant

I’m the New York Giant — Name on the poster

Couldn’t even be as high if you was sittin on my shoulders

Still like I could put the Brooklyn Bridge on my back

Strong high I rep the city I ain’t talkin 'bout attack

You can tell where I’m from it don’t matter where I’m at

From the Tim’s to the grin to the jeans to the strap

With a grand lookin mean to the means we get trapped

Know we mean everything and we scream in our rap

We seen hard time

Came from the bottom so we mean on the grind (We on top of the world!)

Big dreams in my eyes

Though some fail others succeed over time (We on top of the world!)

And reach for the skies

All you gotta do (Is believe you can fly) (We on top of the world!)

Go hard

In due time, find true reward

When you shine

That’s when you on top of the world (We on top of the world)

You on top of the world (We on top of the world)

Top of the world (We on top of the world)
