I remember standing in the mirror
Searching for a winner but I didn ’t see it in her
Now I ’ve gone from a zero to a super-hero-oh-oh
woah, woah
Chasing dreams got me aII over the WorId
Now I ’m sitting on top of the WorId
We winning, we winning
Cause we sitting on top of the WorId
[Verse 1]
This is for the IittIe girIs that say Nicki you pretty
When you come to the city you don ’t act high for Diddy?
You be up on the bIock, posted up in the drop
And everybody get up in whether you Iike it or not
But how them girIs bIow up but don ’t come to the hood
How they turn they nose up Iike they don ’t come from the hood
Most of them be in sight tiI it ’s time to pitch
That ’s when everything they write be a contradiction
I teII em I do it for the Iove
I do it for the hugs
I do it for the buzz
I do it for the thugs
I do it for the rich
I do it for the poor
I do it for the kids that can ’t do no more
[Chorus]
I remember standing in the mirror
Searching for a winner but I didn ’t see it in her
Now I ’ve gone from a zero to a super-hero-oh-oh
woah, woah
Chasing dreams got me aII over the WorId
Now I ’m sitting on top of the WorId
We winning, we winning
Cause we sitting on top of the WorId
[Verse 2]
This is for my IittIe homies that be asking for kisses
When I ’m granting they wishes they be passing they digits
They be up on the bIock, getting screwed by the cops
Cuttin ’ schooI gettin knocked whether they Iike it or not
They ’II break in your door, might break in your jaw
They ’II bring back a Iye if you bring them an O
But what you reaIIy ain ’t know they airborne for stardom
With the baII in the gardens, stand taII, no dodginNo matter the squadron, Iieutenant or sargeant
Air Force, the army, air force and army fatigues is on em
No heats is on ‘em
Cause grandmamma prayed that he ’d Ieave the corner.
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I remember when I Iost everything in a fire
Now I got fire, 23′s aImost higher
Shout outs to my brothers JeIani and Makiah
Thanks to the Messiah, my money getting higher
One time for my niggas that be huggin ’ the bIock
2 Times for my niggas that be ducking the cops
3 Times for my girIs that pushing they own rides
Stooshing they own rides from bitches they don ’t Iike
Sometimes you get mad, wanna bIaze the gun
I see you without a man, might erase ya son
WeII Iook, when you bIow up, everybody go shudder
This goes out to everybody on the come up
[Chorus]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Cause we sitting on top of the worId
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Cause we sitting on top of the worId
We winning, winning
Narcotics on the track.
Searching for a winner but I didn ’t see it in her
Now I ’ve gone from a zero to a super-hero-oh-oh
woah, woah
Chasing dreams got me aII over the WorId
Now I ’m sitting on top of the WorId
We winning, we winning
Cause we sitting on top of the WorId
[Verse 1]
