LYRICS:
On my knees, all my life I’ve been sold a chase
Hustling hope for dollars, try cope a day (a day)
under condition
we’re on our way to the top
we got the world at our fingers
we make the penny drop
got a means to get me outta the gate
and I won’t stop till I wake
i’ll say it loud till I mean it
talk like I’ll be the messiah
when I’m on top
I’m on top
I’m on top of the world
see me run
see me run
see me run with the girls
I’m on top,
I’m on top,
I’m on top of the world
I need a break, then I’ll take to
to top of the world
On my knees, all my life I’ve been sold a chase
Hustling hope for dollars, try cope a day (a day)
euphoria
I missed you like a new treasure
we go so good together
search all my life to find better
but I won’t hold my breath
I’ll just fill up and deliver
they got attention deficit
I wait for the good lord to visit
mary mary
All my life turned to dust
No one knew who to trust
Had a chance for a good life
see me on television
on billboards and banners
see me on white picket fences
now watch me building my palace
out on the run
you’ll see me gathering martyrs
I won’t forget where I started when we would
pray from the gutters!
cause I’m on top
I’m on top
I’m on top of the world
send me up
send me up
with the diamonds and pearls
I’m on top
I’m on top
I’m on top of the world
they can talk, they can talk,
but I got the good word
and it’s crazy I’m defined brand new
it’s amazing I got high on a view
but tonight I’m feeling tired and alone
dear lord, I hope we didn’t go wrong
I think I’m winning
feel like I might
feels like I’m in it
feel like a god
I’m in demand
they’re on my time
one in a million
fought a good fight!
On my knees, all my life I’ve been sold a chase
Hustling hope for dollars, try cope a day (a day)
we prayed from the gutters
like martyrs we followed you
prayed from the gutters
like martyrs we followed you
I’m on top I’m on top
I’m top of the world
see me run, see me shout what I heard
I’m on top I’m on top
top of the world
On my knees, all my life I’ve been sold a chase
Hustling hope for dollars, try cope a day (a day)
uphill I’m winning
not concerned if I’m cheating
they built me up to be beaten
they built me up to be beaten

It's a shame she never got bigger after the success of Somebody That I Used to Know. She's a goddamn treasure.
Bring Me More Booze I'm positive after this album she'll get bigger!
I mean there's a few songs of kimbra in Fifa games. That's something right?
Might be a blessing in disguise
Well she definitely got bigger than before it - big enough to work on projects that she wanted to work on, in her own time. That's exactly what artists dream of.
Every song of hers is better than that one. And more importantly, almost every one is less commercial.
Her style is crazy. She's singing but also busting flows all at once.
she's rocks like nobody else, amazing.
right!! exactly, formless like water
Kimbra is being herself and I love that. Even if she stays underrated. That is integrity. That’s talent. This is how this industry should be.
I couldn't agree more
Mariana Mawa this girl deserves more than we think, she is a treasure,only thing we just dont know it yet.
AMEN
Queen Kimbra 🥰💕
Bullshit. She doesn't want this style.
Impressive. I don´t know how I didn´t get into Kimbra before. This just shows Algorithms and Music industry doesn´t know whats good music!
support me please
I think that her sound was too advanced and too ahead of time. This song and the visuals are very much 2022.
Queen Kimbra 🥰
This song is easily 4 years ahead of its time. No question she's an artist but a fucking visionary.
Zen Williams always happen the same to her songs:/ i feel really bad , she deserve more
... what
You're high.
How did he know?
In 2021 thinking, yeah this is kind of ahead of its time but then seeing actually it is already 4 years old??
@@sinanyldz2144 this is shite LOL
I love that she never feels bound to one genre, her music is always something new
Totally has a trappy feel to it. She been listening to the Black Album lol this got "Dust Your Shoulders Off" influence written all over it!!
Her music is always tending to whats trending. Not staying true to her self.
And how do you know what she is to her self?
when it doesn't sound like a bunch of everything else
Man this music video is really smart. From costumes, lighting, body movement, hair style, all of it has some meaning. She starts barefoot in simple black clothes, natural, messier hair, little body movement. That is her natural form, her being pure, having nothing but dreams of success. Then shoes get added, more macho movement starts showing up, and she starts tearing the pillars down as she scrambles for money and fame. Then the fancy dress comes up (with a Statue of Liberty-like tiara to indicate she achieved her American dream of money and fame), smooth, glossy hair, full on high lady style, building her palace. Lights start shining again (where previously lights shone only when she was in her "pure" form of being poor, barefoot and struggling to survive, singing how she's on her knees in the chorus - the light shows up again when she "prays from the gutters"). But this time the light is wrong, doesn't shine from the side like the sun but from the top, like the artificial lights of bars and pubs, representing the artificiality of the success she achieved, the impurity of it all. She made it, but she's tired, alone and hopes she didn't go wrong. Then she goes to full leather, metal studs, grungy, tearing everything down violently with body movements, when she realises all she fought for was a fabricated "chase".
I love your analogy of her art! Just watched the behind the scenes, and she says the beaded mask represents blindness.
@@raconteur4069 Yeah, saw that too. One thing I missed (well, there's obviously more I missed, this is pretty deep and I likely misinterpreted half of it), when she switches to the latex outfit, she doesn't have the studded gloves at the start. That could represent her hands getting bound by the obligations she now has to keep up her success and keep the money flowing once she's "made it". Then the mask shows up to seal the deal, she's now fully blinded by the success, only once she takes it off and collapses among the rubble of her life does she see clearly it was all a lie. This went from a gorgeous woman wearing revealing dresses to a pretty deep music video in a hurry for sure XD
You're a legit theorist!
It was just me, or there are a reference of Michael Jackson? That jewelry glove which turns into a sufocating mask, MJ was a very good example of that not so good side of fame.
@@CarolinaBaunilhada I feel that there are a lot of similar symbolism in her music videos. All very deep and some subtle references to the Bible.
I hate RUclips ads, but this is the first time they please me! I wouldn't matter if they repeat this ad every time i watch a video
Same. I saw Kimbra before and am just blown away....she needs to be discovered WORLD WIDE
same jajaja
I practically watched and listened over half of each one! The only yt ad you would be welcome to have.
The future CEO one? I hope your not talking about that, that’s a leftist mind game to make everybody feel like they’re not doing anything right with they’re life
THIS IS INCREDIBLE! the editing? the CGI? the choreography? the costumes? the SONG? i’m overwhelmed.
Naomi Rose M E
She dances in a way so strange.....but at the same time so fascinating
Yeah like a possessed priestess which I find captivating
freedom
its a dance riot y'all haven't heard yet. This is the dirty South. Day for Night peace
Modern day Kate Bush
Watch her song Settle down for the dance. She's bloody awesome.
She is reptilian shapeshifter.
This song is absolutely brilliant and Kimbra is absolutely gorgeous.
support me please
@@LizaNikonova never
Morgan?
Kimbra is an ancient Egyptian Goddess come back.. she dropped this waay back like a time traveler..
This needs to be a super villains theme song in a movie
well I discovered it when the vilains broke in a facility in a super hero serie ^^
Eternaïls M
What series if you don’t mind my asking?
Kind of outdoes Eye of the Tiger for me lol
I'm thinking a black panther villian bc of the tribal vibe
Eternaïls M what series ?
oh my god that first dress like aaaahhh and then the second dress like brah you's killer and then the latex leotard... duuuuude. and the transitions are everything. this song is everything
seriously though, i was like yaaaaaaahssss
Yasssssssssssss
I saw her yesterday night on the front row of her concert in Lisbon. I'm still completely startstruck.
LUCKY!!!!!!!
This song really feels like someone reaching the summit, each step closer and closer to the top. The hardships that come with it are still present, but she keeps on.
This is so different from everybody knows! Now I'm excited about how different all the other songs will be! You're truly a jack of all trades!
She always manages to stay true to her sound and yet sounds so fresh in every song! I've missed her so much!
2:40 I seriously think this piece just made fall in love with Kimbra! Amazing charisma and choreography!
Idk why but I find this video so perfect. A masterpiece. Everything about it just makes me feel peaceful inside and from time to time I come here to catch a glimpse of this piece of underrated poetry.
Yes❤
So. SICK. Kimbra is the most underrated artist. There isn't anyone like her.. and she's a babe lol
well maybe now she is underrated. She used to be huge back when she released Vows.
+Jesse Y She was never huge. o.O She was BIGGER, but not . . really popular?
She is pretty underrated. I want her to do a song with Florence already.
I love how her music doesn't fit in any specific genre. She always bringing something new.
following her from the beginning it feels like that, but i have a feeling her ratings starting to climb now.
Sevdaliza is most underrated, Kimbra is becoming more and more commercial
This song truly shows how much you've grown as an artist. The sound is completely different from Vows. Your singing, your rapping(need more of that). This entire music video is a sign of growth for you. I can't wait for the entire album.
I like her dark harness queen look here , a lot.
I completely agree. I was remembering listening to Vows for the first time in ‘12 and thinking how innovative it was and this is just blowing my mind as well haha. I think part of watching an artist evolve means to watch them, as just people, change, which is something us regular folk experience on a much different scale, but the more an artist evolves makes me feel like I’m capable of evolving too so... I’m extra super digging this new track, K. ❤️
Was listening to Vows on the way to work yesterday... This feels like a natural progression for Kimbra. It sounds like A baby between the two previous records - Vows polished feeling with Echo's creative layering and harmonies. I like it!
Nicely said. I like it too.
Just curious if you know if she's touring ?
I would like to see her , and I would also like to see *Aurora* .
It would be cool to see them do a collaboration.
Her tour kicks off in Oslo shortly. She hits the US in December. Info is on her website; link is in the video's description.
Valorant Game Changers Fatale video brought me here. This song is perfect!! Love the fusion!!
How is she not more popular, I mean at least she is a hidden treasure to the people who have discovered her honestly she is the best singer on the planet!!!!!
You CAN'T just walk back into my life like this Kimbra. I moved on. I guess I better fucking move back because I LOVE IT.
man, this song was on fifa 18. i just got attached to it and i looked for the name and it's Kimbra! the girl from somebody i used to know. she's great
Come Into My Head is a great song from her too and is It o FIFA 13
ok thanks :)
This should of been the 2018 world cup official song
Jorge Ortiz nah this should of been for 2014 world cup
IKR
Kimbra is our little secret....the problem is shes a secret I want to tell the entire world!!!!!!!!
Same!!!!
boi millions of views isn't a secret, peeps be calling her underrated because the entire world hasn't had her shoved in their faces by industry giants
this was honestly ahead of its time
I love how she adds different elements of clothing to her outfit throughout the song. The detailing in this song is truly fantastic.
holy I was not ready for this. Kimbra always delivering amazing vocals, delivery and creativity. This album is gonna be a game changer
Harvest amazing vocals? What the fuck are you talking about? She's not even singing. She's panting, grunting, and whining. This song is what cancer would sound like if it could talk.
go listen to Taylor Swift, bitch
I'm sorry if you think atonal whining inherently makes music good, but that makes you more of a pathetic trend follower than the most ardent Swift fans. Both Swift and Kimbra can be f'ing terrible in their own unique ways. Your predilection to like garbage heap fodder like this simply because it's horrific doesn't make you a misunderstood genius, it makes you a counter-culture sheep.
I mean that's fine you like bad music. I just want to make sure you know it's bad.
simply Masterpiece. Kimbra's vocal and play, lyrics, video... just WOW !! Can't stop watching and listening to!
She is absolutely everything that is magical compiled into one person. If you have a chance to see her on this tour don't miss it. I was at her show in Nashville...brilliant.
KIMBRA DIDN'T PLAY. KIMBRA CAME TO SLAY!
she aint playing NO games
For Halloween 2018 I can go as Kimbra from this video and my friends can go as pillars.
Augustus Hinton I'll be a pillar cause my life is falling apart but it's fine
Lmao
lmao
Augustus Hinton one of the best new year resolution i ever read from a person
IM SCREAMING!
I don´t need this was an RUclips Ad, KIMBRA IS GOLD(MINE)
How is this the first time I’ve heard this? This song is fire.
This video is sooo sensually mesmerizing...and it so chronicles her musical ascenscion.
I also hereby declare this as 'Daenerys' Theme'. It fits.
bigvirgotube yes! :)
bigvirgotube "I talk like I be the Messiah" def fits. :/

Uphill I'm winning
Not concerned if I'm cheating
They built me up to be beaten
They built me up to be beaten
i'm happy that KImbra got her a hit single. that gives her enough money to continue being the great artist that she is independently.
this is my favorite kimbra song
Top of the world, diamonds and pearls. Thats all i got, but wow she is really a complete artist. Ive never seen her doing the same twice 👌🏽
I've never heard any other artist sing and perform like Kimbra. So special. Loving the fierceness!
One of my favorite music videos, period. It’s just too good. More raw emotion & performance than most.
Damn...the creative vision that guided this with such perfect pacing with imagery as powerful as the music...just damn
Lovely
Bad bish give her time she coming for the throne 👸🏻
Kimbra constantly collaborates with a stunning plethora of artists. True gem.
It would be nice if one of these days she actually got the recognition she deserves.
FIFA 18 my fav game cause of its soundtracks 🙌🏻🙌🏻😍😍
One part of me is mad that she isn't world famous. Another part is glad she's all to myself.
Same!!
XD
IKR!!
KTM sammeeeeee like I’m a freakin 10year old boy and like woosowoowwowowowowoow
Yeah, you and a couple of million other people 😂
From "settle down" to here. what a journey was that.she really grew up with her sound.
Like "Somebody I Used to Know"...
I’ve been watching her since I was about 8 or 9
Been listening to this song for like 4 years and i Had no idea it had such a video !!!
No other artist gives proper tribute to their inspirations without copying their material. She's incredible. I feel like I'm discovering music for the first time.
She's on an other level.
An other?
Where do you go to school, America?
One would say she is in top of the world!
Apollo Alexandre foolish
She is. The 2.3K dislikes aren’t here
She just keeps evolving as an artist
as soon as i started I knew this song will be stuck in my head for the next 500000 years
IKR
Can we all appreciate the legend who put this in fifa🎉❤
Kimbra.... her body.... her dance.... her hair.... those dresses.... prime example of sensuality.... perfection!
Life goal: be able to dance like Kimbra
Honest question, not trying to pick a fight, but what's so impressive about her dancing? I'm not an expert by any means but I didn't really see any moves from her that blew me away.
Every song she makes is a MASTERPIECE, I'm not a person to have a favourite artist but I have so much love and appreciation for kimbra
I love that she sounds out of breath as if she’s been climbing mountains. And that eagerness in her voice as if she’s chasing something, almost getting it then at the end mellowing out as if she failed in her journey.
Can't wait till January! PRIMAL HEART!
Am I the only one who clicked "like" before I even saw the video?
wig has spontaneously combust
Josh Elijah she didnt snatch my wig but my real hair. My scalp is bleeding.
Comment of the year.
This is one of the most unique songs I ever heard :O I love it. INCREDIBLE musical style borrows from SO MANY genres and kinda creates her own
So great. The lyrics are so profound. It follows a character who raises to fame just to fall.
nothing but respect for my queen
It's different but so kimbra, you can just tell she had a hand on the production, just from the vocal layering and harmonies alone.
If you're interested in the production of this song, I'd recommend the podcast Song Exploder - it has a great episode about this song where Kimbra goes through the creative process of developing it! Super interesting, and actually how I heard this song in the first place!
Anyone else got this song on their advertisement roll..?? And then realized this song is from 3 years a go..?? 🤯🤯
Thank you youtube.. I'm 3 years late.. thank you for suggesting this song.. i love it !!!!!!!!
Omggg totally the same I rlly thought it was a new single
this song is older than 3 years!
I feel like a bad bitch hearing this
it was weird at the beginning, then after have heard it too many times i can't stop it has too many layers :D
At first, I thought it was plain boring with just plain background and pillar and one scene. I tried to watch it again and again, each time I watched it, I found new meaning and movement. I manged to create a meaning toward the start to end and now I really honestly love her as an artist. I don't want her to change, the music plays to my heart and I honestly love her dance. She's very inspirational. I bet most of people wouldn't understand at first glance, but that's the point. The art takes a moment and feels to finally understand and over time, it breaks down. That to me, is beautiful.
One of the FIFA 18's best songs
Impulse season 2 episode 8 brought me here and I'm intrigued.
Yeah! Me too
Me as well!!
Same
Me too😁
Lol same
She's like Kendrick Lamar and Kate bush at the same time? But then also herself and I love all of this. When she turns to the camera with the mask on I literally got chills.
Yes! You nailed it!!
Oh yes, that was a great shot!
More like Missy Elliot and Grimes
This WAS very modern day Kate Bush with swagger. Just how the lyrics and the music are a bit unorthodox to most music today, and the minimal symbolism of the video. I love it so much.
Oh my gosh...a Kendrick and Kimbra collar would be perfect. Kenbra or Kimdrick. Which is better? XD
She’s one of my favorites and she is by far one of the most talented and gorgeous women in music today!
0:00-3:24 Thought I'd bookmark my favorite part of this song for future reference.
New theme song for LIFE and the video is equally empowering.
I feel like this was the perfect follow up to Everybody Knows. So damn good. So simple, but really powerful, really heavy. Just great. I'm even more excited for the next album than I was before.
Dammit girl, keep on doing this alternative stuff - leave the ordinary for the ordinary!
Here, here! Glad she stuck to her guns and did what she wanted with her music career!
Margo Margo, yes it would be so sad if Kimbra turn into a 'normal' musicician just for getting more money. Sadly I know some singers who done that. I hope Kimbra will always stay that special and unique kind of music. Sure mucician should always evolve and change. But never fit in Mainstream. Unique is very important to me!:-)
Hahaahahah you are funny go drink a pisswater
Bernhard Testor thats exactly what she just did....sounds so mainstream
Already knew this song but I saw this from an ad so I had to check it out again 💞💞💞
Such an underrated song. It deserves higher popularity.
TOP OF THE CHARTS 💘
Not really, sadly :'(
Tirthankar Bose lmaoo right when Kimora came out with everybody knows she popped up under top tracks on tidal and I honestly got jealous because I’ve been following her since vows 😂 I was like “tf is everyone acting brand new for”
What a flop.... idk what people right now can't appreciate good music
I CAN'T FUCKING STOP LISTENING TO THIS
What a masterpiece! Talent in all grounds.
I was losing 4-0 on FIFA 18, I paused the game for subs, this song came up, and I won 4-5
I feel shocked. Thank you Kimbra for such an honest and deep message. Great work from Guy Franklin too!!
Ancient Goddess Of Cool. Freaking love this!!!
FIFA 18 6 years laters nostalgic 💔🥲
Still here June 666 2024
I love it. This is insanely unique, epic and catchy. Wild to me this hasn't blown up. This song is dope.
Amazing and so different as always. Stop being so damned inventive! (Wait, no, please continue.)
Set it OFF! Consistently growing as an artist and showing such diversity in tone and sound and killing it every way.
This song is incredible. Kimbra - the rhythm of the vocals is amazing. This defies classification and has an almost archetypical quality to it.
this is surely what angels sound like.........
this song is so damn good it's almost unfair
YUP!
It's not THAT good...
IKR
I went to see Kimbra live in Toronto last night. I’d have never guessed it but this was my favourite song off her set list! Hypnotic and beautiful!
You have hit every single genre of music. You are a musical genius. With Settle Down being one of the best songs ever written, made, and sung by you, to this brilliant song with so many genres in it alone. Also the video is fantastic, you always dress so classy, you just know everything that you are doing and you do it perfectly. Thank you for all you do, when I'm feeling low, and that's been so often lately, I just watch and listen to your music and I feel better. I've also watched your other non music videos and they make me feel better also. Please stay safe, healthy, kind, strong and happy everyone, peace and much love sent from Ontario, Canada.
support me please
Kimbra is so packed with awesome music.. she is one i truly love.
She is stunning I actually am in love with her.
THIS IS EPIC
GABRIEL X Iconic
I'm blessed to know this song. 🦋💕🙏🏼
Same, now I'm looping it.
I like how there's a light on her whenever she thinks of her roots
