Lyrics:

This is just a little message to the man on top
Everyone wants to get their hands on what you got
They stand and they watch
They plan and they plot your demise
Now they got their eyes on your prize
'Cause you're the baddest around
The cat's meow
Walking 'round town like 'look at me now'
With every good reason to be happy and proud
You've worked hard and now you stand out in the crowd
But some will work harder to bring you down
Than to pick themselves up off of the ground
So keep your head high but not in the clouds
Stay humble and it won't all come crumbling down
So be careful who you meet on the way to the top
They'll be the same ones you see on the day that you drop
Because what goes around comes around
And what goes up must come down

Everybody wants to stop the man on top
Everyone takes their shot at the man on top
They all await his drop, the man on top
So they can claim the spot as the man on top

As they say, move your feet you lose your seat
Be careful who you meet and who you mistreat
Not everyone will have your best interests at heart
They'll build you up to break you down then rip you apart
And you worked really hard to get where you are
Now here you are, damn near a star
But as celebrity grows jealousy shows
It's getting hard to even tell your friends from your foes
Sometimes it's the ones that you least expect
Won't show their true colors 'til you reach success
So twinkle twinkle little star
Oh how they wonder how to get where you are
So be careful who you meet on your way to the top
They'll be the same ones you see on the day that you drop
Because what goes around comes around
And what goes up must come down

Everybody wants to stop the man on top
Everyone takes their shot at the man on top
They all await his drop, the man on top
So they can claim the spot as the man on top

Now wait just a second
I wanna state for the record
Something's wrong here
And I came to address it
Just a little message
Directed to all you fellas
When a woman's on top
Men tend to get jealous
And try to discredit our efforts
We made it on our merits
But you wonder 'how'd she get it?'
And who she slept with
To all you sexists that question our successes
We ain't gonna stop
The top is where we're headed

It's the woman on top
And now we ain't gonna stop
It's the woman on top
Hey man on top, I got your spot

Everybody wants to stop the man on top
Everyone takes their shot at the man on top
They all await his drop, the man on top
So they can claim the spot as the man on top
