Skee-Lo - Top of the Stairs lyrics

rate me

(Skee-Lo)

Growin up as a kid tough skins and Afros

Wasn't South Central, but still it came natural

There wasn't nobody to watch my back

Didn't wanna be strapped to get jacked

Mama taught me not to trust no man

Brother what's your plan?

If you ever lose a fight, then you go back again and win

And I don't care if it was one of your friends

You better bury your feelings within

And understand that on top of the stairs

They got keys to Catalacs BMW's Mercedes, Benz and all of that

And on top of the stairs yeah

They got colour TV's and even girls come in two pairs

And on the bottom you've got nothin but guilt

Bad feelings bein kept homies been killed

When I die always know that I never was see my little brother drop

So you better stay on top

(Chorus)

(Skee-Lo)

Cause no one really cares about the guy on the bottom

No one really cares about the guy beneath

And everybody wants to be down with the dude

On top of the stairs, top of the stairs

Cause no one really cares about the guy on the bottom

No one really cares about the guy beneath

And everybody wants to be down with the dude

On top of the stairs, top of the stairs

(Skee-Lo)

Little brother look around you, can't you see

All the possibilities and we, you and me

To the bang boogie up jump the boogie

to the boogie to the boogie to the beat, I'ma emcee

I spent three years in Mickey D's cleanin dishes

Half of that time was makin wishes

Want ya hit switches in a brand new six-fo'

But all I could afford was another nine and Roseau's Chicken and Waffles

How bout that Honda Cord

Used to watch drop by at night till I got bored

But not no more really that's for sure

Cause I gotta million honeys knockin on my door

And I'm not tryin to score with one

Cause diseases kill and that's ill

To make a mill in you gettin done

When you on top of the world girls may come

But when you fall down you won't find one

(Chorus)

(Skee-Lo)

Cause no one really cares about the guy on the bottom

No one really cares about the guy beneath

And everybody wants to be down with the dude

On top of the stairs, top of the stairs

Cause no one really cares about the guy on the bottom

No one really cares about the guy beneath

And everybody wants to be down with the dude

On top of the stairs, top of the stairs

(Skee-Lo)

Little brother this is all we got

Me and you will be cruel

Even though it doesn't seem like a lot, it is

So don't be thinkin negative

I know just how you feel when you got time to kill I'll tell you how it is

I know you might be unsure

Cause it gets rough out there and when it rains and pours

I stole shoes from stores hung out with cool cats

Put cars on flats broke windows with bats

And that's not all even made prank phone calls

I was flossin and sloshin in Fox Hills Mall (So whattup y'all?)

After all please check my credentials

I once got busy in the whenchles yeah

So throw your hands in the air

Wave em around if you've been treated unfair

Yeah cause no one cares (no one cares, no one cares)

Top of the stairs (top of the stairs, top of the stairs)

(Chorus)

(Skee-Lo)

Cause no one really cares about the guy on the bottom

No one really cares about the guy beneath

And everybody wants to be down with the dude

On top of the stairs, top of the stairs

Cause no one really cares about the guy on the bottom

No one really cares about the guy beneath

And everybody wants to be down with the dude

On top of the stairs, top of the stairs

Cause no one really cares about the guy on the bottom

No one really cares about the guy beneath

And everybody wants to be down with the dude

On top of the stairs, top of the stairs

Cause no one really cares about the guy on the bottom

No one really cares about the guy beneath

And everybody wants to be down with the dude

On top of the stairs, top of the stairs

(Skee-Lo)

Yeah to all my little brothers out there

It's cool to be on top, but don't ever forget where you came from

Most importantly you better remember

The little guy you step on to get on top

Is the same guy you gonna run into goin back down

Yeah top of the stairs
