[Intro: Ma$e]
Brandy, Darkchild
Mase, get Harlem on the rise
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

[Verse 1: Ma$e]
I went from Helly Hansen to mini mansions
The girls in Aruba doing belly dancin'
Spent half of my advance on jars from Branson
To make it through my circumstances
But you know I'm wiser now
Move like Keyser now
Got a butter soft leather just to hide my pound
Got a house in the valley, come and find me now
Got enough dough to buy the town
So I might give a six to my chick
Benz to my mom
Crib so big, it look like the center gone
Give her a couch just to spill Henney on
And been a don since Lotto's and Benneton

[Verse 2: Brandy]
Some people say that I am not the same girl
They say I think that I am in my own world
What makes them think that I have changed, yeah
A little dough cannot erase my problems
Me, like you, I have to try and solve them
Yes, everything is quite the same, whoa
[Chorus: Brandy]
I'm just tryna be me (Be me)
Doing what I gotta do (Doing what I gotta do)
Some people think that I'm (That I'm)
Just sittin' on top of the world (Sittin', sittin' on top of the world)
I'm just tryna be me
Proving what I've gotta prove
Some people think that I'm (That I'm)
Just sittin' on top of the world (Oh yeah)
Sittin' on top of the world
Sittin' on top of the world
Sittin' on top of the world
Top of the world
Top of the world
Top of the world
Sittin' on top of the world
Top of the world
Top of the world
Top of the world (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 3: Brandy]
I wonder why it's often said that my life's
A fairy tale and everything is so right
I wish that you could know the truth, yeah
My life is real, so please don't get it twisted
Problems the same and gotta be dealt with
These are the things I wish you knew, ooh-oh
[Pre-Chorus: Brandy]
Always in someone's eye, so many questions why
How is it to be down with me, with me
Afraid to express myself, always me and someone else (I need)
I need to be free, but it's not that easy

[Chorus: Brandy]
I'm just tryna be me
Doing what I gotta do
Some people think that I'm
Just sittin' on top of the world (Sittin', sittin' on top of the world)
I'm just tryna be me
Proving what I've gotta prove (provin, no no)
Some people think that I'm (That I'm)
Just sittin' on top of the world (Sittin' on top of the world)
Sittin' on top of the world

[Bridge: Brandy]
Don't understand why (Don't understand why)
People think I don't have friends (Who knew me back when)
This was my dream (This was my dream, no, no, no)
But nothing has changed
I still do the same things

[Verse 4: Ma$e & Brandy]
Yo, we can cut the talking short
If it ain't about cake
I ain't sittin on top, I want a house on the lake
I'm that snotty nosed cat wit a new BM
If you mess wit Brandy, I got to bruise your chin
I be with Puff, the girls be like, "who's his friend?"
If I hit a chick once, she probably move me in
So you gotta tell me right now
Either you wit the cats who make the hits
Or the one that see the chips
Slow down Ma$e, you're killing 'em
But don't stop it
What's the use of buying weight
If I'mma have to chop it?
I used a leather lady till I learned her logic
She only mess wit Ma$e, no the money ain't no object
If it ain't Cris, he won't pop it
If it ain't platinum wit' ice, he won't rock it
If it don't cost 60, he don't drop it
If it don't come with TV's, he don't cop it
You can stop it
[Chorus: Brandy]
I'm just tryna be me
Doing what I gotta do
Some people think that I'm
(Think that I'm just sittin' on top of the world)
Just sittin' on top of the world
I'm just tryna be me
Proving what I've gotta prove (Proving what I've gotta prove)
Some people think that I'm (Whoa, ooh)
Just sittin' on top of the world (Sittin' on top of the world)
Sittin' on top of the world

[Outro: Ma$e & Brandy]
Yeah, yeah, brandy on top of the world
Darkchild on top of the world (Sittin' on top of the world)
Ma$e be on top of the world, what?
Harlem World be on top of the world
(Sittin' on top of the world, top of the world, top of the world)
Brandy on top of the world
Darkchild be on top of the world
(Sittin' on top of the world, top of the world, top of the world)
M-A-Dolla sign-E all over the world
Brandy, all over the world (Sittin' on top of the world)
All over the world
All over the world (Sittin' on top of the world)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
What, what
Yeah, yeah, yeah, what, what, what (Sittin' on top of the world)
