Lyrics

Close to the Top

I'm close to the top now
And that's what I want, so I take it all
I look at the clock now
And this is my moment, this is my time
If you want to fight now
Yes I got the guns and I got the bombs
So don't cry for me now, yeah, don't cry for me now
So stay the fuck away from me now
Baby, you're not my lady
You're not my baby
And you're driving me crazy, crazy
My baby, you're not my lady
You're not my baby
And you're driving me crazy, crazy now
Yeah, eh, eh
I was so afraid of myself
But now that I'm grown and I'm not alone
Standing the light now
I been facing the dark, been hateful for too long
My mama told me, "My son, go outside and take what it's yours"
But don't cry for me now, yeah, don't cry for me now
So stay the fuck away from me
My baby, you're not my lady
You're not my baby
And you're driving me crazy, crazy
My baby, you're not my lady
You're not my baby
And you're driving me crazy, crazy now
But baby, you're not my lady
You're not my baby
And you're driving me crazy, crazy
Baby, you're not my lady
You're not my baby
And you're driving me crazy
I said, baby, you're not my baby
You're not my lady
And you're driving me crazy, crazy
Baby, you're not my lady
You're not my baby
And you're driving me crazy, crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
Crazy, crazy, you're driving me crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
Crazy, crazy, I said you're driving me crazy
