Lonely At The Top (Sped Up) - Asake

I've been around the world Had my pick of any girl You'd think I'd be happy But I'm not Ev'rybody knows my name But it's just a crazy game Oh, it's lonely at the top Listen to the band, they're playing just for me Listen to the people paying just for me All the applause-all the parades And all the money I have made Oh, it's lonely at the top Listen all you fools out there Go on and love me-I don't care Oh, it's lonely at the top Oh, it's lonely at the top

I was pourin' out my troubles To a stranger in the bar About the problems and the pressures On a country music star Half braggin', half complainin' Bout the money and the fame And just how lonely life can be When you've made yourself a name I said would you like a drink He said thanks, I'll have a double I've worked up a powerful thirst Just listening to all your troubles And while he makes that drink I'll smoke one if you got 'em It might be lonely at the top, But its a bitch at the bottom I left a hundred on the table And didn't wait around for change With my load a little lighter And my thinking rearranged That stranger made me realize How thankful I should be And if I forget I hope those words He said I hope come back to me I said would you like a drink He said thanks, I'll have a double I've worked up a powerful thirst Just listening to all your troubles And while he makes that drink I'll smoke one if you got 'em It might be lonely at the top, But its a bitch at the bottom It might be lonely at the top, But its a bitch at the bottom

I don't mean to sound conceited to those who just don't know me It's a sad life I've been leadin' But only because it can get lonely at the top My homies know it's lonely at the top Nowhere to go now, so we gotta drop I'm blowin' up, don't ever plan to stop Hang up my banner, damn, I make it pop What's a legend but fictional history? With its origin shrouded in mystery? Definition don't sound like it fits me If I go down then I doubt they'll forget me Got you runnin' - I'm gunnin' for victory When I come in no one can predict me Just like an unwritten prophecy - nobody thought I'd be Top of them all, but I'm gonna be I don't mean to sound conceited, but if you don't know me It's a sad life I've been leadin', cuz it can get lonely at the top Look at me, undefeated, I'll leave 'em in pieces, I've become elitist Cuz when I tell you, hell, I mean it That it gets so lonely at the top (Lonely at the top) Hit you like Spitfire, got you thunderstruck Bad time to Flatline, I can pull the plug Show some Devotion to the hole you dug Back down or tap out - how's your luck? You wanna play with the big dogs until a tragedy happens You look like a dachshund wandered into a pack of ravenous Mastiffs Add the fact that we're rabid, stacking up caskets Where is your tag at? Nobody grabbed it Line up to die if you're tryna get past I don't mind killin' time with the traffic I'm on the Prowl, but I don't need a Wingman Float like a butterfly, but I can sting man Nothing but headshots, wait till I ping it Serve up the Hemlok, go on and drink it When I come in zipping with force And kickin' in doors, bitches hit the floors I looted a body with shit in its drawers Not pointing fingers, I think it was yours I don't mean to sound conceited, but if you don't know me It's a sad life I've been leadin', cuz it can get lonely at the top Look at me, undefeated, I'll leave 'em in pieces, I've become elitist Cuz when I tell you, hell, I mean it That it gets so lonely at the top (Lonely at the top) Maybe I'm conceited, but it ain't right to fight it No use tryna hide it, cuz I kinda like it lonely at the top I don't mean to sound conceited, but if you don't know me It's a sad life I've been leadin', cuz it can get lonely at the top Look at me, undefeated, I'll leave 'em in pieces, I've become elitist Cuz when I tell you, hell, I mean it That it gets so lonely at the top (Lonely at the top)
