Russ Top Of The World

Despite his pedigree as one of the best lyricists in hip hop history, Electronica rarely puts vocals on wax, and after releasing the full-length A Written Testimony at the top of last year, it seemed like a certainty that it’d be at least a couple years before we heard from him again. But Russ pulled him out of his cave to make “Top Of The World,” one of the best tracks on the new project.

Spitting over silky Harry Fraud production, Russ and Electronica trade verses and describe what it feels like at the “Top Of The World.” A laid back track that delivers a powerful message, “Top Of The World” is a record you’ll have to run back a couple of times to catch everything you missed during the previous listen, but with Russ and Electronica skating over Fraud’s reserved instrumental with poignant lyrics and intricate melodies, running it back feels more like doing yourself a favor than a hassle.

Lyrics

[Intro: Russ]
Yeah, CHOMP 2
(La música de Harry Fraud)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: Russ]
Rappin’ over Harry Fraud
I’m in the Ghost, you can’t scare me off
Y’all movin’ fairly odd like Wanda and Cosmo, I bought Gianna a condo
Some rappers order some beef with me then got caught with a combo
I knew my purpose, school ain’t workin’, I’m too determined
I killed my family’s bills like Uma Thurman
Universe in synch with me, this is how I picture me
I’m a legend, this ain’t Zelda, models tryna link with me
Ain’t nobody pinchin’ me, I live a dream life, knew it would be life
Ever since I gave myself the green light
My life’s a movie, guess I screenwrite
Ghost don’t only come out Halloween nights
Couple homies Blood but I got my momma seaside
Sippin’ margaritas, it’s diamond, it’s hard to beat us
I gave the world the keys, my cars are keyless, as far as Jesus
Ask my supporters, some of them think I’m Him
Sometimes it’s joints and Tequila, sometimes it’s blunts with the gin
Jumpin’ in, the pool of pure potentiality
Be one with your spirit, that’s how you transcend reality
You might be a star but I’m the galaxy, my circle’s at capacity
They bribe you to forget your dreams, they just call it a salary
I’m on the balcony lookin’ at ocean waves
She wanna wrestle in the sheets, I feel like Roman Reigns, uh
You don’t notice change if you don’t move, me, I’ve broken loose
Always saw the silver linin’, I might choose a golden goose, true

[Chorus: Russ & Jay Electronica]
I did everything I said I would and then some (Yeah)
Put my money where my mouth was and I said somethin’
Spend somethin’
Now I’m on top of the world and I ain’t comin’ down
Now I’m on top of the world and I ain’t comin’ down
Now I’m on top of the world, oh-oh, oh (Uh-huh)

[Verse 2: Jay Electronica]
Entirely off the record
The messiahs of society quietly walk with leopards
And when they plug into the Matrix
The babies have dreams of makin’ love on a spaceship
You can hear atheists cries in the sub when the bass hit
The way that God brung me up from nothin’ was quite miraculous
The way I navigated the Headless Horsemen and Draculas
Was otherworldly, the whites of my eyes is mother pearly
The technique I use when I speak has covered it surely
I resurrected from a shallow burial covered in glory
The Christ on his bride-like throne go hovering before me
When I cook the children of the book, they love and adore me
The Grim Reaper would love to lay a sickle and shovel before me
But alas, victory’s in my clutches just like the Dutches
On top of the world like Russ is, only God can judge us
From Genesis to Revelation, we at war with the Satan
Tryna raise a nation and begin his second creation

[Chorus: Russ]
I did everything said I would and then some (Yeah)
Put my money where my mouth was and I said somethin’
Spend somethin’
Now I’m on top of the world and I ain’t comin’ down
Now I’m on top of the world and I ain’t comin’ down
Now I’m on top of the world, oh-oh, oh
