“Top of the World” is a re-release of Posner’s original version from 2010, titled “Tapada World,” with Big Sean added on.
The song discusses the come up of the artists through their young hip-hop careers. There are a lot of references to Posner and Sean’s hometown of Detroit, and the music video is...
[Hook: Mike Posner]
At this time next year I'mma have enough to buy the whole damn thang, thang, thang
Yeah I am doing pretty good right now but I swear just wait, wait
Imma take it to the top, top, top of the world [X6]
[Verse 1: Big Sean]
Imma take it to the top, ha, I knew it
You came in here solo, nah, I crewed it
Funny I turned all my "I'm gonna be's" to I do it
Been ballin' out for a minute, still play like I'm gettin' recruited
I showed and proved it and came up in the game and made a name, clap it up
Seem like yesterday, man we was in your hooptie, lappin' up
How sometimes you have to look back in your life and laugh it up
Tryna make it to the top and throw my dawgs a ladder up
[Hook: Mike Posner]
[Verse 2: Mike Posner]
Ain't no artist in the game that could match this
Gym shorts on a date with an actress
And I'm still gon' hit
I could pllllllt on the tracks and it's still gon' hit
Fuck the dress code, these ain't retros
Who that smooth voice is with the best flow?
Yours truly
Keep your feelings to yourself let me do me
[Hook: Mike Posner]
[Verse 3]
[Big Sean]
Same ol' G, I just made a crib replacement
Whip replacement, floatin' down the street, floatin', bitch I've been paradin'
Everybody 'round me paid like gettin' rich contagious
[Mike Posner]
Another hit, 'scuse me while I run the bases
Sister's graduating, so yeah I'm feeling good
Midwest beard all over Hollywood
See the way they hatin', see the way I shine
Dexter Ave, it's a big mural, me and Sean
[Hook: Mike Posner]
[Outro: Mike Posner (Big Sean)]
I do it
(Man, that's my line, lil bitch, you ain't even say it right)
Fuck you bro, I say it how I want
Laughs
(Champagne)
