On Top Lyrics

I think this song is about a band playing at a club, when the lead singer sees the most beautiful girl in the audience.

After he sees her he doesn't care if they play good or satisfy the rest of the audience that night. The "velvet sun" probably refers to the lights inside the club.

When he says "get your eyes off of my bride," the singer sees another guy in the crowd eyeballing his love, but he can't do anything about it, he can't "crack" while he's on stage.

But it doesn't matter if he ends up with this girl that night, because him and the band can get anything they want, they're "On Top."
