Touch The Sky |
| [00:01.00] |
Kanye West |
| [00:02.00] |
|
| [00:02.78] |
I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly |
| [00:07.50] |
For the day I die, I'mma touch the sky |
| [00:12.36] |
Gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly |
| [00:16.57] |
For the day I die, I'mma touch the sky |
| [00:19.74] |
|
| [00:20.28] |
Back when they thought pink polo's would hurt the Roc, |
| [00:22.45] |
Before Cam got the shit to pop, the doors was closed. |
| [00:25.41] |
I felt like Bad Boy's street team, I couldn't work the Lox (locks). |
| [00:28.70] |
Now let's go. |
| [00:29.78] |
Take 'em back to the plan... |
| [00:31.61] |
Me and my momma hopped in the U-Haul van. |
| [00:33.75] |
Any pessimists I ain't talked to them, |
| [00:35.81] |
Plus, I ain't have no phone in my apartment. |
| [00:38.25] |
Let's take 'em back to the club. |
| [00:40.59] |
Least about an hour I would stand on line, |
| [00:42.62] |
I just wanted to dance. |
| [00:43.74] |
I went to Jacob an hour after I got my advance. |
| [00:45.96] |
I just wanted to shine. |
| [00:47.36] |
Jay's favorite line: "Dog, in due time" |
| [00:49.50] |
Now he look at me, like "Damn, dog, you where I am" |
| [00:51.95] |
A hip hop legend. |
| [00:53.41] |
I think I died in an accident, cause this must be heaven. |
| [00:56.23] |
|
| [00:57.14] |
I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly |
| [01:00.45] |
For the day I die, I'mma touch the sky |
| [01:04.47] |
Gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly |
| [01:09.89] |
For the day I die, I'mma touch the sky |
| [01:13.42] |
|
| [01:14.06] |
Now let's take 'em high-igh-igh-igh-igh-igh la la la la la la la |
| [01:20.73] |
(Top of the world, baby. T-Top of the world) |
| [01:22.68] |
Now let's take 'em high-igh-igh-igh-igh-igh la la la la la la la |
| [01:29.32] |
(Top of the world, baby. T-Top of the world) |
| [01:32.08] |
|
| [01:32.38] |
Back when Gucci was the shit to rock, |
| [01:34.50] |
Back when Slick Rick got the shit to pop, |
| [01:36.84] |
I'd do anything to say "I got it". |
| [01:39.05] |
Damn, them new loafers hurt my pocket. |
| [01:41.30] |
Before anybody wanted K-West beats, |
| [01:43.49] |
Me and my girl split the buffet at KFC. |
| [01:45.64] |
Dog, I was having nervous breakdowns, |
| [01:48.15] |
Like "Damn, these niggas that much better than me?" |
| [01:50.34] |
Baby, I'm going on an airplane, |
| [01:52.75] |
And I don't know if I'll be back again. |
| [01:55.09] |
Sure enough, I sent the plane tickets, |
| [01:56.97] |
But when she came to kick it, things became different. |
| [01:59.11] |
Any girl I cheated on, sheets I skeeted on. |
| [02:01.41] |
I couldn't keep it home, I thought I needed a Nia Long. |
| [02:03.67] |
I'm trying to write my wrongs, |
| [02:05.78] |
But it's funny these same wrongs helped me write this song. |
| [02:08.17] |
Now, |
| [02:08.52] |
|
| [02:09.29] |
I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly |
| [02:12.62] |
For the day you die, You gonna touch the sky |
| [02:16.49] |
(You gonna touch the sky babygirl!) Testify, come up in the spot |
| [02:19.82] |
Looking extra fly |
| [02:22.89] |
For the day you die, You gonna touch the sky |
| [02:25.52] |
|
| [02:26.10] |
Yes, yes, yes guess who's on third? |
| [02:28.40] |
Lupe still like Lupin the Third. |
| [02:30.78] |
Hear life here till I'm beer on the curb |
| [02:33.15] |
Peach fuzz buzz but bit on the verge |
| [02:35.29] |
Hold it down like we're on the serve |
| [02:37.51] |
Bottle-shaped body like Mrs. Butterworth's. |
| [02:40.01] |
But, before you say another word, |
| [02:42.17] |
I'm back on the block like a man on the street. |
| [02:44.38] |
I'm trying to stop lying like a Mum-Ra, |
| [02:46.25] |
But I'm not lying when I'm laying on the beat. |
| [02:48.24] |
Engarde, Touch Lupe cool as the Unthar, |
| [02:51.80] |
But I still feel as possessed as a gun charge. |
| [02:53.60] |
I come as correct as a porn star, |
| [02:55.07] |
In a fresh pair of steps and my best foreign car. |
| [02:57.70] |
So, I represent the first. |
| [02:59.88] |
Now, let me hear my verse right where the horns are like |
| [03:02.78] |
|
| [03:03.13] |
I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly |
| [03:06.49] |
For the day you die, You gonna touch the sky |
| [03:10.38] |
(You gonna touch the sky babygirl!) Testify, come up in the spot |
| [03:14.41] |
Looking extra fly |
| [03:16.24] |
For the day you die, You gonna touch the sky |
| [03:19.47] |
|
| [03:20.24] |
(We back at home, baby) |
| [03:21.66] |
Sky high |
| [03:22.56] |
I'm, I'm sky high |
| [03:24.81] |
I'm, I'm sky high |
| [03:26.90] |
I'm, I'm sky high |
| [03:29.01] |
I'm, I'm sky high |
| [03:31.26] |
I'm, I'm sky high |
| [03:33.61] |
Sky, Sky high |
| [03:35.92] |
I'm, I'm sky high |
| [03:38.41] |
Yeah! (Keep it rollin) |
| [03:42.62] |
(Feels good to be home, baby! Feels good to be home!) |
| [03:50.51] |
