if i go back to cleveland with nada
then i'ma have one disappointed mama
no, i'ma have one disappointed fam

i'ma feel bad that i can't provide for my fam
i can't help how my mom process
mr. huds told a !@$@ young let it be the best

if i can't do that main, $#&@ i'm living for?
i got a pack of newports and a super bad !@^%
i step out and i'm drinking lots of hennessey

then battle in my sleep with the demons trying to ruing me
a bunch of the ? worse, saying that fame wasn't meant for me
take it back to cleveland, you heard

i can't stop them from speaking
? got me laid out leaking
y'all don't know the half, kid cudi got issues, mentally

that i ? down fast, like i won't fall, i can't fall
i won't fall dog, i can't fall,
that's what i say to myself, over and over

cruising through the city in my black range rover

i heard them whispering, i heard them talking down

now that i'm bubbling, i ? thought i forgot how you tried to take me off my grind
yep, yep, they tried to take me off my grind
but it's my time boy,

we going straight to the top
watch live my !@$@
top, top, top, top of the world

top, top, top, top of the world
top, top, top, top of the world


when you make a move, everybody counting you
but when you dying out, !@$@s won't acknowledge you
sick to the stomach, well i'm thinking about loosing

but i love this ? it is the life that i'm choosing
and i had to find out who the real scout was
meditated with the buzz i focused to get my hunger back

so alone, just me and the instrumental,
they say my music ain't normal, must be something wrong with my mental
i got to be ware, i don't spit about guns and drugs

well ? $#&@ i don't know about guns and drugs
i spit what i know, and you should too
but you won't we all know you wanna jock the next dude

and you ? the next man
well i was born to be a leader, so you know i'ma follow my heart fam
and i'ma roll with what my !@$@ manny say

keep your individuality cause that will get your bread, yeah

i heard them whispering, i heard them talking down

now that i'm bubbling, i ? thought i forgot how you tried to take me off my grind
yep, yep, they tried to take me off my grind
but it's my time boy,

we going straight to the top
watch live my !@$@
top, top, top, top of the world

top, top, top, top of the world
top, top, top, top of the world


i ain't trying to make hits, for the club no more
i'm just trying to make hits for my !@$@s at war
day to day in the white men's world

getting head from the white men's girl
relax me when i'm stressed, having dreams of a ? chick with big breast
while i'm thinking of schemes to be king just like in chess

kid cudi won't rest, that's when i met my best
flow's good, half to death, i see through rest, main
a lot of cats trying to make it happen through the music

the truest thing about it is not anyone can do this
gotta spit it different from another !@$@ living
if i ain't i'm slipping and i'm never getting up

with that in your head dog, i'm never giving up,
? looking up to the ceiling, chilling out my wake
and these lames gotta hate, see the lyrical wizardry

you're ? my dirty laundry?

i heard them whispering, i heard them talking down

now that i'm bubbling, i ? thought i forgot how you tried to take me off my grind
yep, yep, they tried to take me off my grind
but it's my time boy,
we going straight to the top
watch live my !@$@

top, top, top, top of the world
top, top, top, top of the world
top, top, top, top of the world.
