Top Of It All

rap, Modern East Coast hip hop with a cinematic intro, male vocals, Minor-key piano loop and airy pads over crisp drums and deep bass, Verses stay tight and percussive; hook widens with stacked chants and octave doubles, Subtle ear-candy ad-libs and drops to highlight each “rule, ” final chorus hits hardest with extra harmonies and open hi-hats, hip hop, male vocals

[Intro]
Yeah
Destiny on the line
Mind on the grind
Look

[Verse 1]
Three rules running through my brain
Writing them in ink, not chalk in the rain
First one: gotta make that money
Turn every dark week into Sunday sunny (yeah)
Second rule: gotta flow with the show
Stage lights flash when I step through the door
Third rule: gotta be number one
If they got a list, then I live at the front (uh)

Mama said “pray,” streets said “push”
I just took both, kept my head in the books
Fate at the table, dealing out cards
I reshuffle every hand, I don’t fold, I go hard

[Chorus]
I’m a-gonna be on top of it all (on top)
Destiny calling, I answer that call (ring ring)
Mind on the grind, I can’t ever stall
Three rules in my head, yeah, I live by ‘em all
I’m a-gonna be on top of it all (on top)
Writing my name big across that wall
If I ever trip, I get up, stand tall
‘Cause I’m a-gonna be on top of it all (yeah)

[Verse 2]
Woke up broke, but the vision felt rich
Had to turn every setback into a switch
First rule: gotta make that money
Turn pain into pay, make the tears look funny (woo)
Second rule: gotta flow with the show
When the lights go out, let the hunger still glow
Third rule: gotta be number one
Storm in my chest, I’m the rise of the sun

Is it fate or the fight in my chest?
Is it “meant to be” or the nights with no rest?
Either way, I keep climbing that hill
If destiny waits, then it waits for my will

[Chorus]
I’m a-gonna be on top of it all (on top)
Destiny calling, I answer that call
Mind on the grind, I can’t ever stall
Three rules in my head, yeah, I live by ‘em all
I’m a-gonna be on top of it all (on top)
Writing my name big across that wall
If I ever trip, I get up, stand tall
‘Cause I’m a-gonna be on top of it all (yeah)

[Bridge]
One: stack it up, that’s the plan (that’s the plan)
Two: rock the crowd, raise a hand (hands up)
Three: top spot, that’s the stand
If fate got a script, I’ma rewrite it, man (rewrite it)
