Verse 1
Back then they was laughing, that was light to me
Now I make it hard for ’em to even speak on me
Used to sleep on the kid, now they losing sleep
I turned pressure into power, that’s just chemistry
Had to cut the grass, snakes was in the field
Love get tricky when the money get real
Seen smiles fade when I touched a mil’
That’s why I keep it tucked, never over-reveal
I was broke with a vision, that’s a dangerous mix
Now the whip got options like relationships
They was betting I’d fold, I went all in
Made the losses look good, that’s a tall win
Told my dawgs stay down, we gon’ ball soon
Now we stepping in rooms they was barred to
Funny how the tables turn when the checks clear
Now they all tuned in like the next year
Hook
Top floor views, I can’t see the ground
Came up from the dirt, now the clouds around
They ain’t wanna see me then, can’t see me now
Had to lose a lot of love just to wear this crown
Talk down then, but it’s praise now
Same ones switched up got they hands out
I was in the deep end, had to learn how
Now I move like the one, that’s confirmed now
Verse 2
Made pain look fly, put it on like fashion
Turned heartbreak money, made it happen
Ain’t no sympathy, this survival talk
Had to learn real quick how them titles cost
Family first, that’s the code I keep
Still fighting demons when I go to sleep
But I don’t let ’em see that side of me
Pain in the trunk like it ride with me
I got scars under this designer
Hard times made me move wiser
They was front row when I hit the floor
Now they backstage tryna get encore
I ain’t gotta talk much, the numbers do
Lost friends, lost time, still made it through
Now it’s penthouse nights, but the view feel lonely
Cause everybody love you when the wins feel trophy
Hook
Top floor views, I can’t see the ground
Came up from the dirt, now the clouds around
They ain’t wanna see me then, can’t see me now
Had to lose a lot of love just to wear this crown
Talk down then, but it’s praise now
Same ones switched up got they hands out
I was in the deep end, had to learn how
Now I move like the one, that’s confirmed now
Outro Switch (after final hook)
Yeah…
Funny how they love you when the view change
Back when I was down, couldn’t get a ring back
Now it’s “bro, you good?” where that energy was?
Had to build this from the dirt, I got mud on the blood
I took losses like lessons, wore pain like leather
Cold nights made a man, had to stitch it together
And the ones that left early, that was part of the plot
Cause if they stayed around, I might’ve stayed in that spot
Now it’s late nights, city lights, me and these thoughts
Thinking ‘bout everything this life done bought
Cause the money came fast, but the peace move slow
And the higher I climb, it’s less people I know
Still…
Wouldn’t trade it though
Cause every scar got me here
And that’s worth more than gold
