[Verse 1]
In Cologne, getting smashed, I can't feel my face
I never been outside the states, who's fucking with my brain?
They said don't get no big ideas, it only causes pain
Saw a racist in the bar, he tried to take my chain
No matter how worse it get, ya eyes won't look away
No matter how worse it get, ya eyes won't look away
Don't put ya hands in my hair, I don't know ya name
It's sad 'cause some things in this world will never change

[Chorus]
To be the man on the hill
To be the, to be the man on top of the hill
The place I go when, the place I go when I don't wanna feel
To be the man on top of the hill
To be the man on top of the hill
To be the man on top of the hill

[Verse 2]
I was raised up in Spring, ain't been there in a minute
They asking where I been, I got a newer vision
Been in L.A. for three years, the devil tried to kill me
Sometimes, when I'm laying in bed, I just get the feeling
Like somebody watching me in disguise
Feel like somebody watching me in disguise
I'm addicted to my screen, head full of lies
Forgot karma never forgets, then it blew my mind (Ah)
[Chorus]
To be the man on the hill
To be the, to be the man on top of the hill
The place I go, the place I go when I don't wanna feel
To be the man on top of the hill
To be the man on top of the hill
To be the man on top of the hill

[Bridge]
But no pressure 'cause you got it all, you hearing
The kid that never had a chance to ball
So if I slip, that's our chance, but I never fall
Pigeon-toed and all, I really do it all, my n***a
Against the odds or whatever in this space all alone
With blind faith and these notes that I write up in my phone
Don't you miss me, you had dreams of flying
Fuck these rules, man, dawg, I'm done trying, done crying

[Chorus]
To be the man on the hill
To be the, to be the man on top of the hill
The place I go when, the place I go when I don't wanna feel
To be the man on top of the hill
To be the man on top of the hill
To be the man on top of the hill
