Top of the Stairs

Top of the Stairs - DJ Jump

Growin' up as a kid

Tough skins and afros

Wasn't south central

But still it came natural

It 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 he was one of your friends

You better bury

Your feelings within

And understand

'Cause on top of the stairs

They got keys to cadillacs

Bmws mercedes benzes and all of that

And on top of the stairs

Yeah they got color tvs and even girls

Come in two pairs

And on the bottom

You've got nothin' but guilt

Bad feelings being felt

Dead homies been killed

When I die always know

That I never wanna see

My little brother drop

So you better stay on top

No one really cares

About the guy on the bottom

No one really cares about

The guy beneath

Everybody wants to be

Down with the dude

On top of the stairs

Top of the stairs

No one really cares about

The guy on the bottom

No one really cares about

The guy beneath

Everybody wants to be

Down with the dude

On top of the stairs

Top of the stairs

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 of the boogedy beat

I'm an emcee

I spent three years in

Mickey d's cleanin' dishes

Half of that time

Was makin' wishes

Wanted to hit switches

In a brand new 6 4

But all I could afford

Was a number nine at

Roscoe's for chicken and waffles

How about that honda accord

Used to watch 'em drive

By at night 'til 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 it and you gettin' done

When you on top of the world

Girls may come

But when you fall down

You won't find one

No one really cares about

The guy on the bottom

No one really cares about

The guy beneath

Everybody wants to be

Down with the dude

On top of the stairs

Top of the stairs

No one really cares about

The guy on the bottom

No one really cares about

The guy beneath

Everybody wants to be

Down with the dude

On top of the stairs

Top of the stairs

Little brother

This is all we got

Me and you we be crew

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 crank phone calls

I was flossin' on slauson and

Fox hills mall

So whattup y'all

After all

Please check my credentials

I once got busy in the

Winchell's yeah

So throw your hands in the air

Wave 'em around

If you've been treated unfair

Yeah

'Cause no one cares

About me

No one cares

About you

No one cares

Top of the stairs

Top of the stairs

No one really cares about

The guy on the bottom

No one really cares about

The guy beneath

Everybody wants to be

Down with the dude

On top of the stairs

Top of the stairs

No one really cares about

The guy on the bottom

No one really cares about

The guy beneath

Everybody wants to be

Down with the dude

On top of the stairs

Top of the stairs

No one really cares about

The guy on the bottom

No one really cares about

The guy beneath

Everybody wants to be

Down with the dude

On top of the stairs

Top of the stairs

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

Get on top

Is the same guy you gonna

Run into going way back down

Yeah
