Wisdom - U-God

But you stayed the course

You planted your seed and I watched them grow

I remember when you first started out

You told me about your plans, about your music, and what you and your friends

were doing

I didn’t believe you, I didn’t encourage you, or discourage you

On a quest for the relish to feed the people I cherish

The good and bad I inherit

Eatin' healthy, keep the brain cells nourished to flourish

Take it all, work hard 'til the day that I perish

I wish I could go back in time and find my first book of rhymes

And publish it 'cause death is a crime

And that page that I ripped out back in '89

Written in red ink, damn, what a line

It’s not easy gettin' kicked out the booth after fifteen tries then I came with

the truth

This rhyme you digest through the RZA console

Olympic torch flamin', ten-million sold

Not bad for a chippa who just came home to make moms proud

The initial goal

I’m on now, time to conquer the globe

Look mom I’m on top of the world

Look mom I’m on top of the world

Look mom I’m on top of the world

Look mom I’m on top of the world

And to all my park killers slash villains

My cohorts, and caharts in front the ooh buildin' (Moms they shootin')

Grab all your children to the … (?) staircase, Wu stickers on the ceilin'

Late night helping baby girl with her homework

Sittin' on kitty chairs, magic marker just won’t work

Baby Mom’s face fightin' on the couch in some pink shorts

The sacrifice of bein' on top of this rap sport

Kiss her on the cheek, tell her I love her

The fortune and the fame I bring home in the fourth-quarter

Tears shed in the back of the tour bus

Started with nine niggas and the DJ and just us

You see the … (?) is high-tailin' through Tokyo

What a wild rodeo, I built my portfolio

Dante’s got a new car thinkin' he’s cool

Meet the first of the Hawkins to graduate film school

Fresh blue and whites on his way to the Air Force

Maleek’s grown up and he knows I be there for him

Consolidate my time between my life and my rhymes

Baby girl’s gonna grow up right before my eyes

God bless my child, time flies with a smile

Gotta cherish the moment 'til i walk her down the aisle

Look mom I’m on top of the world

Look mom I’m on top of the world

Look mom I’m on top of the world

Look mom I’m on top of the world
