I keep telling myself, man I`m living the good life
(Living the good life, yeah)
I keep telling myself, man I`m living the good life
(Living the good life)

I`m on top of the world, I`m on top of the world
(I`m on top of the world)
I`m on top of the world, I`m on top of the world
(I`m on top of the world, shout it)

I was born into poverty raised in the sewerage
Streets always would be a part of me, it made me the truest
And even when my days were the bluest
I never ran from adversity, instead I ran to it

Fear ain`t in the heart of me I learned just do it
You get courage in your fears right after you go through it
Now I come through in a Coupe on 22s
That ain`t bad for a ni**a who ain`t even finish school

Don`t get me wrong I ain`t never been a fool
I just put off graduating for a pair of tennis shoes
I used to use the beat to paint my pain
But nowadays man I can`t complain

I got several automobiles and they all on thangs
Several size of tangent and they all in one chain
Used to see me in the mall I`m the same
And get a couple broads giving brain on the plane

I keep telling myself, man I`m living the good life
(Living the good life, yeah)
I keep telling myself, man I`m living the good life
(Living the good life)

I`m on top of the world, I`m on top of the world
(I`m on top of the world)
I`m on top of the world, I`m on top of the world
(I`m on top of the world, shout it)

I dug from Chi-Town lost and found in the struggle
Where dudes say stay safe and stay out of trouble
Speak is muffed the law and B gon try to cuff you
Those with duffles move weight and have muscles

I came through the dirt with a verse for the people
Open up for Daddy Kane and Easy at the Regal
The radio rarely put their needle on my record
They ain`t see how the hood and heaven were connected

Sounds projected, ain`t show how effective
Lessons learned, sessions turned to life reflected
And everything I found real in life know I kept it
They say life`s a teacher, you`re gonna get tested

When a ni**a changed they keep saying that ni**a strange
They couldn`t see how my mind won`t be the lame
Ahead of my time I caught up with the game
Making good music making paper making change and it`s good

I keep telling myself, man I`m living the good life
(Living the good life, yeah)
I keep telling myself, man I`m living the good life
(Living the good life)

I`m on top of the world, I`m on top of the world
(I`m on top of the world)
I`m on top of the world, I`m on top of the world
(I`m on top of the world, shout it)

I put on gasoline drawers I stood in the fire
With enough heat to set the hood on fire
Man you ni**az think Suge was off the wire
You should`ve seen the squad before I had Messiah

We assumed the title as the number one supplier
Felt like I was selling blow since I was in diapers
And we wished a ni**a would come try us
We was cool with the killers, best friends with the lifers

Quick to up and scrap with ni**az who want to deny
So what we considered then as a lucrative empire
But like that pimping time flash by you
Now I wonder what the judge think as he reading my priors

`Coz prison ain`t full and the reefer ain`t bias
You ain`t got to tell and distant the liars
Gave the jail hell and shot birds at the hearse
Lived through worse and reversed the curse

I keep telling myself, man I`m living the good life
(Living the good life, yeah)
I keep telling myself, man I`m living the good life
(Living the good life)

I`m on top of the world, I`m on top of the world
(I`m on top of the world)
I`m on top of the world, I`m on top of the world
(I`m on top of the world, shout it)
