Taking Care Of No Business

T.I. - On Top Of The World

卜超 制作

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

im rapping now reminiscing and god damn it we made it

from trapping standing and pitching with rich we stand in the kitchen

splitting it eight ways flipping it 8 days

thought that while in a room it was just the way to behave

kept the weight and the yey for most the paper we made in all dimes

i aint lieing 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 gs that other shit i dont hear

shit they so far in the rear how would i even care

im too busy being a player staring at niggas careers

but talk about it for years and now we finally here

i used to dream (i used to dream) oh whoah

about the money and the cars and girls (and the girls)

but now i sing (now i sing) oh whoah

because im sitting on top of the world (the whole world)

and now i sing sing sing sing cause im sitting on top of the world

and now i sing sing sing sing sitting on top of the world

they say what goes up must come down but i aint reached my cruising altitude

take a look at what i did but can you imagine what im about to do

the places im bout to go and the money im bout to see

gave bill gates some binoculaurs and said look out for me

and see these 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 im 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 im 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 glamour

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 shouldnt act nahh suckers

we see samuel jackson like whats up mother f**kerrr

i used to dream (i used to dream) oh whoah

about the money and the cars and girls (and the girls)

but now i sing (now i sing) oh whoah

because im sitting on top of the world (the whole world)

and now i sing sing sing sing cause im sitting on top of the world

and now i sing sing sing sing sitting on top of the world

i know them haters dont stop plotting and wish you would fall

cause im standing on top looking down at it all

i see you down there to yall this aint like i got it all

homie i aint get enough im still trying to triple up

so all we got is street cred and a cool building up

say im doing too much shit i say i aint did enough

remember saying damn if i could just get to a million plus

and now im like shit what the f**k is a million bucks

triple that on my bun thanks to bigs and run

but nevermind what ive been through just look at what i become

all the shit ive avoided what i done for my sons

hand dollars and momma just call her

i sold dope and dropped out of school seems its all they can see

they dont notice none of my family did that since me

i broke that cycle now my family live a life of

mandatory minimals but not when the judge sentence them

cousins in college where you think they get tuition from

jeffrey standing around wishing huh

and while you standing around looking dumb

i make it happen taking action over time got damn good at it

i used to dream (i used to dream) oh whoah

about the money and the cars and girls (and the girls)

but now i sing (now i sing) oh whoah

because im sitting on top of the world (the whole world)

and now i sing sing sing sing cause im sitting on top of the world

and now i sing sing sing sing sitting on top of the world
