歌词
哥们儿我想起来，在我唱之前让我发个声明
man i remember before i say that wait let me issue this statement
反省无论如何也不会被错认为赞颂
no way should reflection be mistaking for glorification
我想起来当时和兄弟们一贫如洗的生活
now i remember so vivid me and my niggas was living
未达到小康标准但仍继续着“生意”
sub-standard condition still handling business
仍旧说笑和嗑药，仍旧有成群结队的女人
still laughing and tripping still having the bitches
我用说唱来回忆过去 该死的我们做到了
im rapping now reminiscing and god damn it we made it
在厨房把碟子里的可卡因摊开 倒入袋子
from trapping standing and pitching with rich we stand in the kitchen
把可卡因分成8份，8天完成销售
splitting it eight ways flipping it 8 days
考虑着无法无天的打劫那只是我们行事的方式
thought that while in a room it was just the way to behave
保管好毒品，我们都是零卖
kept the weight and the yey for most the paper we made in all dimes
我没撒谎这些，我自得其乐
i aint lieing the pleasure was all mine
有大事要做但不忽略细节
have big work to move but we served the small time
我总是比只有小心眼的家伙牛逼
i always outshined the niggas with small minds
谁曾相到我们会成为迄今为止最吊的
who would of thought we would be arguably the greatest of all time
现在我们在这唱这首歌
around here we developed such a sound down here
被抄袭是常事但原版还是在我这儿
but duplicate it off the steel it can only be found here
只听帮派的召唤其他的我都充耳不闻
only listen to gs that other shit i dont hear
他们被远远地甩在后面 我为什么要关心？
shit they so far in the rear how would i even care
我忙着游戏人间 关注着兄弟们的前程
im too busy being a player staring at niggas careers
这话说了很多年今天终于实现
but talk about it for years and now we finally here
我曾经梦想着
金钱 名车和漂亮姑娘
i used to dream (i used to dream) oh whoah
不过现在我高歌
about the money and the cars and girls (and the girls)
因为我在世界之巅
but now i sing (now i sing) oh whoah
我唱，我跳，我酷，我拽，我浪在世界之巅
because im sitting on top of the world (the whole world)
我唱，我跳，我酷，我拽，我浪在世界之巅
and now i sing sing sing sing cause im sitting on top of the world
人们说站的越高摔得越狠但我还没达到我的巡航高度
and now i sing sing sing sing sitting on top of the world
看看我曾经的作为你能想象我将要怎样么
我将要去的地方 我将要数的钱
they say what goes up must come down but i aint reached my cruising altitude
给比尔盖茨一架望远镜告诉他来找我
take a look at what i did but can you imagine what im about to do
总是高于人们的期望值 即使在def jam也是如此
the places im bout to go and the money im bout to see
因为我和街头结下姻缘 亚特兰大是我的伴娘
gave bill gates some binoculaurs and said look out for me

我知道怀恨在心的小人不会停止陷害 他们希望你垮掉
because im sitting on top of the world (the whole world)
因为我在世界之巅俯瞰一切
and now i sing sing sing sing cause im sitting on top of the world
你还差得远呢 你以为我已得到一切了么？
and now i sing sing sing sing sitting on top of the world
不不不伙计这还差得远呢 我还在尝试着翻三番
那就是我为啥建streetcred网站 为啥建自己的服装品牌 【streetcred是为嘻哈爱好者建立的社交网站 akoo是t.i.的服装品牌 akoo是A King Of Oneself的缩写
