LONELY AT THE TOP

[00:38.89] They say it's lonely at the top, so whatever you do
[00:42.12] You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you
[00:45.07] Nobody's invincible, no plan is foolproof
[00:47.85] We all must meet our moment of truth, truth, truth
[00:50.37] They say it's lonely at the top, so whatever you do
[00:53.23] You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you

[00:59.03] We all must meet our moment of truth, truth, truth
[01:01.03] I been havin' flashbacks to the days of my youth
[01:03.95] Right next to the trap was my grandmama's stoop
[01:06.71] 193 Vernon Ave, Tompkins and Throop
[01:09.21] Where we used to be, take 'em back, back to the roots
[01:12.11] Where any time we'd leave the block, we would move in cahoots
[01:14.82] Getting harassed by the cops, hands up, don't shoot
[01:17.83] They thought that we was sellin' rocks, I couldn't say we was not (true)
[01:20.80] In fact, I couldn't say a lot 'cause it's just how I was taught (shh)
[01:23.68] Guilty by association, that's a thing of my past
[01:26.37] Had to cut off some relations to ensure I would last
[01:29.25] Nowadays, ain't got no patience, I be moving too fast
[01:32.00] If we ain't on the same vibration, then I'm shaking your ass
[01:34.74] Now every time I spin the block, niggas be lookin' so mad
[01:37.65] Seen my closest friends turn to opps, shit's so sad
[01:40.56] Tryin' to pretend, but I know there's snakes in the grass
[01:43.49] Lookin' through my lens, it be hard to face those facts
[01:46.68] They say it's lonely at the top, so whatever you do
[01:49.80] You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you
[01:52.69] Nobody's invincible, no plan is foolproof
[01:55.56] We all must meet our moment of truth, truth, truth
[01:57.94] They say it's lonely at the top, so whatever you do
[02:01.19] You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you
[02:03.99] Nobody's invincible, no plan is foolproof
[02:06.74] We all must meet our moment of truth, truth, truth
[02:08.61] Can't find nobody to relate to these problems I have
[02:11.57] I got 150 on the dash, pray to God I won't crash
[02:14.29] I'm hopin' Allah take the wheel if I written my will
[02:17.27] I keep my head up on a swivel when I play in the field
[02:20.09] I'm paranoid, checkin' my mirrors like it's somethin' I feel
[02:22.74] These streets don't play fair, so I keep my pistol concealed
[02:25.40] 'Cause I'm the type to say a prayer 'fore I catch my kill
[02:28.61] Like as-salamu alaykum, swear this shit get real
[02:33.19] Shit get
[02:34.31] Swear this shit get real
[02:36.03] Shit get
[02:37.70] Shit too real
[02:48.84] They say it's lonely at the top, so whatever you do
