Through the test of time
Yo Gee they can't stop me from rappin' can they?
Can they Hop?
(Through the fire to the limit to the wall)
I spit it through the wire man
(For a chance to be with you I'd gladly risk it all)
There's too much stuff on my heart right now man
I'd gladly risk it all right now
(Through the fire through whatever come what may)
It's a life-or-death situation man
(For a chance at loving you I'd take it all the way)
Y'all y'all don't really understand how I feel right now man
It's your boy Kanye To The
Chi-Town what's goin' on?
(Right down to the wire even through the fire)
Uh-huh yeah yeah
I drink a Boost for breakfast an Ensure for dessert
Somebody order pancakes I'll just sip the sizzurp
That right there could drive a sane man berserk
Not to worry Mr. H-to-the-izz-O's back to w-izz-ork
How do you console my mom or give her light support
Tellin' her her son's on life support?
And just imagine how my girl feel
On the plane scared as hell that her guy look like Emmett Till
She was with me before the deal she'd been tryna be mine
She a Delta so she been throwin' that Dynasty sign
No use in me tryna be lyin' I've been tryna be signed
Tryin' to be a millionaire ha-I used two lifelines
In the same hospital where Biggie Smalls died
The doctor said I had blood clots but I ain't Jamaican man
Story on MTV and I ain't tryna make Da Band
I swear this right here history in the makin' man
(Through the fire to the limit to the wall)
I really apologize to everyone right now
If it's unclear at all man
(For a chance to be with you I'd gladly risk it all)
They got my mouth wired shut
For like I dunno the doctor said like six weeks
Y'know he had-I had reconstructive surgery on my jaw
(Through the fire through whatever come what may)
I looked in the mirror-half my jaw was in the back of my mouth man
I couldn't believe it
(For a chance at loving you I'd take it all the way)
But I'm still here for y'all right now man
(Right down to the wire even through the fire)
This what I got to say right here dawg
Yeah turn me up yeah uh
What if somebody from the Chi' that was ill got a deal
On the hottest rap label around?
But he wasn't talkin' 'bout coke and birds
It was more like spoken word 'cept he's really puttin' it down?
And he explained the story 'bout how Blacks came from glory
And what we need to do in the game
Good dude bad night right place wrong time
In the blink of a eye his whole life changed
If you could feel how my face felt
You would know how Mase felt
Mason Betha
Thank God I ain't too cool for the safe belt
I swear to God driver two wanna sue
I got a lawyer for the case to keep what's in my safe-safe
My dawgs couldn't tell if I
I looked like Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky it was televised
"There's been an accident" like GEICO
They thought I was burnt up like Pepsi did Michael
I must got a angel 'cause look how death missed his ass
Unbreakable what you thought they call me Mr. Glass?
Look back on my life like the Ghost of Christmas Past
Uh-huh
Toys "R" Us where I used to spend that Christmas cash
And I still won't grow up I'm a grown-ass kid
Swear I should be locked up for stupid shit that I did
But I'm a champion so I turned tragedy to triumph
Uh-huh Yeah
Make music that's fire spit my soul through the wire
Woo
(Through the fire to the limit to the wall)
Y'know what I'm sayin'?
When the doctor told me I had to um
(For a chance to be with you I'd gladly risk it all)
I was gonna have to have a plate in my chin
I said "Dawg don't you realize I'll never make it on a plane now?
(Through the fire through whatever come what may)
It's bad enough I got all this jewelry on"
She can't be serious man
(For a chance at loving you I'd take it all the way)
(Right down to the wire even through the fire)
To the limit
Through the fire through whatever
Through the fire to the limit
Through the fire through whatever
Through the fire
