Karaoké Top of the Stairs Skee-Lo

Growin' up as a kid Tuffskins an' 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 told me not to trust no man brother what's yo' plan

If you ever lose a fight then you go back again

And win an' I don't care if he was one of yo' friends

You better bury yo' feelin's within an' understand

'Cos on top of the stairs they got keys to Cadillacs

BMWs Mercades Benzes an' all o' dat

An' on top of the stairs yeah they got color TVs

An' even girls come in two pairs

An' on the bottom you got nothin' but guilt

Bad feelin's bein' felt dead homies bein' kill't

When I die always know that I never wanna see

My little brother dropped so you better stay on top

'Cos 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 an' we you an' me

To the bang boogie up jumped the boogie to the boogie

To the boogedy beat

I'm an MC

I spent three years in mickey Dee's cleanin' dishes

Half of dat time was makin' wishes

Wanna be hittin switches in the brand new Six four

But all I could afford was a number nine

An' Roscoe's fo' chicken an' waffles

How about dat Honda Accord used to watch him

Drive by at night 'til I got bored

But not no more really that's for sure

'Cos I got a million honeys knockin' on my door

An' I'm not try'n to score with one

'Cos the Dee's is killed an dat's ill

To a million an' you gettin' done

When you on top of the world girls may come

But when you fall down you won't find one

'Cos 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

'Cos no one really cares about the guy on the bottom

No one really cares about the guy beneath

Little brother this is all we got me an' 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 tell you how it is

I know you might be unsure 'cos it gets rough out dere an' when it rains it pours

I stole shoes from stores hung out wit cool cats

Put cars on flats broke windows wit bats

An' dat's not all even made crank phone calls

I was flossin' on Slawson na' Fox Hills Mall

So what up y'all after all please check my credentials

I once got busy in the Witch, yeah

So throw yo' hands in the air wave 'em around if you been treated unfair, yeah

'Cos no one cares no one cares

Yeah, to all my l'il brothers out there it's cool to be on top

But don't ever forget where you came from

Most importantly you better remember

Is the same guy you gon' run into on the way back down

Yeah, top of the stairs
