[Intro]
I don't mean to sound conceited
To those who just don't know me
It's a sad life I've been leadin'
But only because it can get lonely at the top
(Ah-ooh, ah-ooh)
(Ah-ooh, ah-ooh)

[Verse 1]
My homies know it's lonely at the top
Nowhere to go now, so we gotta drop
I'm blowin' up, don't ever plan to stop
Hang up my banner, damn, I make it pop
What's a legend but fictional history?
With its origin shrouded in mystery?
Definition don't sound like it fits me
If I go down, then I doubt they'll forget me
Got you runnin', I'm gunnin' for victory
When I come in, no one can predict me
Just like an unwritten prophecy
Nobody thought I'd be top of them all, but I'm gonna be

[Chorus]
I don't mean to sound conceited
But if you don't know me
It's a sad life I've been leadin'
'Cause it can get lonely at the top (Ah-ooh)
Look at me, undefeated (Ah-ooh)
I'll leave 'em in pieces, I've become elitist (Ah-ooh)
'Cause when I tell you, hell, I mean it
That it gets so lonely at the top
[Post-Chorus]
(Lonely at the top)
(Lonely at the top)

[Verse 2]
Hit you like Spitfire, got you thunderstruck
Bad time to Flatline, I can pull the plug
Show some Devotion to the hole you dug
Back down or tap out, how's your luck?
You wanna play with the big dogs until a tragedy happens
You look like a dachshund wandered into a pack of ravenous Mastiffs
Add the fact that we're rabid, stacking up caskets
Where is your tag at? Nobody grabbed it
Line up to die if you're tryna get past
I don't mind killin' time with the traffic
I'm on the Prowl, but I don't need a Wingman
Float like a butterfly, but I can sting, man
Nothing but headshots, wait 'til I ping it
Serve up the Hemlok, go on and drink it
When I come in zipping with force
And kickin' in doors, bitches hit the floors
I looted a body with shit in its drawers
Not pointing fingers, I think it was yours

[Chorus]
I don't mean to sound conceited
But if you don't know me
It's a sad life I've been leadin'
'Cause it can get lonely at the top (Ah-ooh)
Look at me, undefeated (Ah-ooh)
I'll leave 'em in pieces, I've become elitist (Ah-ooh)
'Cause when I tell you, hell, I mean it
That it gets so lonely at the top
[Post-Chorus]
(Lonely at the top)
(Lonely at the top)
(Lonely at the top)
(Lonely at the top)

[Bridge]
Maybe I'm conceited
But it ain't right to fight it
No use tryna hide it
'Cause I kinda like it lonely at the top

[Chorus]
I don't mean to sound conceited
But if you don't know me
It's a sad life I've been leadin'
'Cause it can get lonely at the top (Ah-ooh)
Look at me, undefeated (Ah-ooh)
I'll leave 'em in pieces, I've become elitist (Ah-ooh)
'Cause when I tell you, hell, I mean it
That it gets so lonely at the top
