[Verse 1]
Nothing's too much
Words that I live by
And that's just how I do
Do, I do
I'm young right now
But I won't be forever
So I'mma live it up like that's true
You might wanna roll with me too

[Pre-Hook]
Said I don't mean to brag
But I live a life that most can only dream about
Yeah
So baby come be my dream girl...
Pick a fantasy, and let me work it out
Yeah, oh yeah

[Hook]
Tell me where you wanna go
What you wanna do
Said we living it like we own it
Said I'm on top of the world
And what I need is you
Said we living it like we own it
Own it, own it, own it

[Verse 2]
Its never too much
So just let the drinks flow
Later on you can come through
Through, come through
You know you're the flyest
They should call you your highness
And call me king cuz I'm that Dude
All you gotta do is leave your crew

[Pre-Hook]
Said I don't mean to brag
But I live a life that most can only dream about
Yeah
So baby come be my dream girl...
Pick a fantasy, and let me work it out
Yeah, oh yeah

[Hook]
Tell me where you wanna go
What you wanna do
Said we living it like we own it
Said I'm on top of the world
And what I need is you

You deserve this crown
We got it sewn up
Because we own it
Because we own it

[Hook]

What you wanna do
Said we living it like we own it
Said I'm on top of the world
And what I need is you
Said we living it like we own it
Own it, own it, own it

Mack Wilds

Tristan Paul Mack Wilds is best known for his acting roles as Michael Lee and Dixon Wilson on HBO’s “The Wire” and CW’s “90210” respectively, but before he hit Hollywood, Wilds dreamed of a career in music. “I don’t remember a time in my life when music wasn’t a factor in my life,” the Staten Island product says. “I was immersed in what music was in the ’90s. Everything we heard in hip-hop, I could look outside of my window in the projects and see it going on.”

Growing up, Mack saw his father sing in local bands. He looked to follow in his dad’s footsteps by practicing around their home in Stapleton housing projects, the same housing projects that produced numerous members of Wu-Tang Clan. Wilds’ earliest music influences were Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, but he also took to hip-hop idolizing MCs like Jay-Z and Nas.

At around the age of 13, after puberty hit, Mack noticed his voice began to change and he then added rapping to his repertoire. “The music has always been my first love,” he says, even though his teenage years were spent acting on television and in films like 2008’s “The Secret Life of Bees” with Queen Latifah and Dakota Fanning and in 2012’s “Red Tails” alongside Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Terrence Howard.
