Hey everyone, I need help understanding the exact meaning of the above phrase, I now similar expressions like "to be on top of one's game" or to be on top of things" but am having trouble with this one.
To give context, it's from the chorus of the song "Crazy bitch" by BuckCherry, exact context is "You're a crazy bitch, but you fuck so good, I'm on top of it"
Thanks
