lyrics

shake off the weight of the late haters controlling my fate
no time for breaks, no mistakes, so I run past the gate
tried to make me conform into somebody else
I'd rather dance by myself than leave my dreams on the shelf

they can beg for my time, they can reach for my mind
but I'll be damned if they touch more than the dust that's behind
see me run, see my climb; you oughta learn from my grind
I've fallen down to the ground, but gotten up every time

I'm on top, I'm on top, I'm on top of the world
I'm on top, I'm on top, I'm your favorite girl
I'm on top, I'm on top, feed me diamonds and pearls
I'm on top, you can't stop me from ruling the world

I've got the map to the treasure, found me my jeans lined with leather
got me my Prada my Gucci (the kind that last for forever)
sing my name through the streets, to everybody you meet
talent, ambition like mine no you can't even compete

to the sun I keep climbing, feel the temperature rising
I like the view at the top, I won't look down or behind me
see me run, see my climb; you oughta learn from my grind
I've fallen down to the ground, but gotten up every time

I'm on top, I'm on top, I'm on top of the world
I'm on top, I'm on top, I'm your favorite girl
I'm on top, I'm on top, feed me diamonds and pearls
I'm on top, you can't stop me from ruling the world

I'm on top, I'm on top, I'm on top of the world
I'm on top, I'm on top, I'm your favorite girl
I'm on top, I'm on top, feed me diamonds and pearls
I'm on top, you can't stop me from ruling the world

faced the world all alone, I made it all on my own, yeah
bow down to my crown I wear it proud on my throne
I wear it proud on my throne
I made it all on my own
I made it all on my own

I'm on top, I'm on top, I'm on top of the world
I'm on top, I'm on top, I'm your favorite girl
I'm on top, I'm on top, feed me diamonds and pearls
I'm on top, you can't stop me from ruling the world
