Touch The Sky
(专辑: Late Registration - 2005)
[Kanye West:] I
gotta testify Come up in the
spot looking extra fly 'Fore the
day I
die, I'ma touch the
sky Gotta testify Come up in the
spot looking extra fly 'Fore the
day I
die, I'ma touch the
sky [Kanye West:] Back when they thought pink Polos would hurt the
Roc Before Cam got the
shit to pop The
doors was closed I
felt like Bad Boy's street team: I
couldn't work the
locks Now let's go, take 'em back to the
plan Me and my momma hopped in that U-Haul van Any pessimists, I
ain't talk to them Plus I
ain't have no phone in my apart-a-ment Let's take 'em back to the
club Least about an hour I
stand on line I
just wanted to dance, I
went to Jacob an hour After I
got my advance, I
just wanted to shine Jay favorite line: "Dawg, in due time!" Now he look at me, like, "Damn, dawg! You where I
am!" A
hip-hop legend I
think I
died in that accident, 'cause this must be Heaven [Kanye West:] I
gotta testify Come up in the
spot looking extra fly 'Fore the
day I
die, I'ma touch the
sky Gotta testify Come up in the
spot looking extra fly 'Fore the
day I
die, I'ma touch the
sky [Kanye West:] Now let's take them hi-ah-igh-igh-igh-igh (Top of the
world, baby, top top of the
world!) A-la-la-la-lah-la-lah (Top of the
world, baby, on top of the
world!) Now let's take them hi-ah-igh-igh-igh-igh (Top of the
world, baby, top top of the
world!) A-la-la-la-lah-la-lah (Top of the
world, baby, on top of the
world!) [Kanye West:] Back when Gucci was the
shit to rock Back when Slick Rick got the
shit to pop I'd do anything to say I
got it Damn, them new loafers hurt my pocket Before anybody wanted K. West beats Me and my girl split the
buffet at KFC Dog, I
was having nervous breakdowns Like "Man, these niggas that much better than me?" Baby, I'm going on an aeroplane And I
don't know if I'll be back again Sure enough, I
sent the
plane tickets But when she came to kick it, things became different Any girl I
cheated on, sheets I
skeeted on Couldn't keep it at home, thought I
needed a
Nia Long I'm trying to right my wrongs But it's funny them same wrongs helped me write this song [Kanye West:] I
gotta testify Come up in the
spot looking extra fly 'Fore the
day you die, you gon' touch the
sky You gon' touch the
sky, baby girl, testify Come up in the
spot looking extra fly 'Fore the
day you die, you gon' touch the
sky [Lupe Fiasco:] Yes, yes, yes, guess who's on third? Lupe steal like Lupin the
3rd Here like ear 'til I'm beer on the
curb Peachfuzz buzz but beard on the
verge Let's slow it down like we're on the
syrup Bottle-shaped body like Mrs. Butterworth But, before you say another word I'm back on the
block like I'm laying on the
street I'm tryna stop lying like I'm Mumm-Ra But I'm not lying when I'm laying on the
beat, en garde Or touché, Lupe cool as the
unthawed But I
still feel possessed as a
gun charge Come as correct as a
porn star In a
fresh pair steps in my best foreign car So, I
represent the
first Now let me end my verse right where the
horns are, like uh [Kanye West:] I
gotta testify Come up in the
spot looking extra fly 'Fore the
day you die, you gon' touch the
sky You gon' touch the
sky, baby girl, testify Come up in the
spot looking extra fly 'Fore the
day you die, you gon' touch the
sky [Kanye West:] We back at home, baby! Sky high, I'm, I'm sky high! I'm, I'm sky high! I'm, I'm sky high! I'm, I'm sky high! I'm, I'm sky high! Sky, sky high! I'm, I'm sky high! Yeah, keep it rollin'! Yeah, uh, feels good to be home, baby! Feels good to be home!
