Top Of The Stairs Lyrics - I Wish - 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 Cadillacs, BMW's Mercedes, Benz and all of that 

And on top of the stairs, yeah 

They got color 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 

'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 

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 Rousseau'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 

'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 

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 whences, 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) 

'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 

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
