Some people say that I am not the same girl
They say I think that I am in my own world
What makes them think that I have changed
A little dough cannot erase my problems
Me like you I have to try to solve them
Yes everything is quite the same

I'm just trying to be me
Doing what I got to do
Some people think that I'm
Just sittin' on top of the world
I'm just trying to be me
Proving what I've got to prove
Some people think that I'm
Just sittin' on top of the world

I wonder why it's often said
That my life's a fairy tale and
Everything is so right
I wish that you could know the truth
My life is real, so please don't get it twisted
Problems the same and got to be dealt with
These are the things I wish you knew

Always in someone's eye, so many questions why
How is it to be down with me, with me
Afraid to express myself always me and someone else
I need to be free but it's not that easy

Don't understand why people
Think I don't have friends
Who knew me back when
This was my dream nothing has changed
I still do the same thing

{Mase}:
Brandy, Dark Child
Mase get Harlem on the rise
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

I went from hellions into mini mansions
The girls in Aruba doing belly dancin'
Spent half of my advance on jars from Branson
To make it through my circumstances
But you know I'm wiser now
Move like Kaiser now
Got a butter soft cover just to hide my pound
Got a house in the valley come and find me now
Got enough dough to buy the town
So I might give a six to my chick
Benz to my mom
Crib so big it look like the center gone
Give her a couch just to spill Henney on
And been a don since lotto's and Benneton

{Brandy}:
Some people say that I am not the same girl
They say I think that I am in my own world
What makes them think that I have changed
A little dough cannot erase my problems
Me like you I have to try and solve them
Yes everything is quite the same

1 - I'm just trying to be me
Doing what I gotta do
Some people think that I'm
Just sittin' on top of the world
I'm just trying to be me
Proving what I gotta prove
Some people think that I'm
Just sittin' on top of the world

I wonder why it's often said that my life's
A fairy tale and everything is so right
I wish that you could know the truth
My life is real so please don't get it twisted
Problems the same and got to be dealt with
These are the things I wish you knew

Always in someone's eye so many questions why
How is it to be down with me, with me
Afraid to express myself always me and someone else
I need to be free but it's not that easy

(Repeat 1)

Don't understand why
People think I don't have friends
Who knew me back when
This was my dream nothing has changed
I still do the same things

{Mase}:
Yo, we can cut the truckin' short
If it ain't about cake
I ain't sittin' on top, I want a house on the lake
I'm that snotty nosed cat wit' a new BM
If you mess wit' Brandy, I got to bruise your chin
I be with Puff, the girls be like
Who's your friend
If I hit a chick once, she probably move me in
So you gotta tell me right now
Either you wit' the cats who make the hits
Or the one that see the chips
(Slow down Mase, you're killing 'em)
But don't stop it
What's the use of buying away
If I'mma have to chop it
I used a leather lady till I learned her logic
She only mess wit' Mase, no the money ain't no object
If it ain't Cris, he won't pop it
If it ain't platinum wit' ice, he won't rock it
If it don't cost 60, he don't drop it
If it don't come with TV's, he don't cop it
You can stop it

(Repeat 1)

{Mase}:
Yeah, Brandy on top the world
Dark Child on top of the world
Mase be on top of the world, what?
Harlem World be on top of the world

Brandy on top of the world
Dark Child on top of the world
M-A-Dolla sign-E all over the world
Brandy, all over the world
All over the world
All over the world
Yeah, yeah, yeah
What, what
Yeah, yeah, yeah, what, what, what

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever

Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever

Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all your life
You'd do anything to look in their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for that day when they will care

What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby
What do I gotta do to get in your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
'Coz baby I can't sleep
