| [00:53.475] | 'Fore the day you die, you ganna touch the sky |
| [00:54.233] | |
| [00:54.504][Verse 1] | |
| [00:54.781] | Back when they thought pink Polos would hurt the Roc |
| [00:56.904] | Before Cam got them hits to pop |
| [00:58.483] | The doors was closed, I felt like Bad Boy's street team |
| [01:01.419] | I couldn't work the locks |
| [01:03.273] | Now let's go, take 'em back to the plan |
| [01:05.657] | Me and my momma hopped in that U-Haul van |
| [01:07.783] | Any pessimists I ain't talk to them |
| [01:10.169] | Plus I ain't have no phone in my apart-a-ment |
| [01:12.299] | Take 'em back to the club |
| [01:14.729] | Least about an hour I stand on line |
| [01:16.846] | I just wanted to dance, I went to Jacob an hour |
| [01:18.702] | After I got my advance, I just wanted to shine |
| [01:21.629] | Jay favorite line: "Dawg, in due time!" |
| [01:23.750] | Now he look at me, like, "Damn, dawg! You where I am!" |
| [01:26.686] | A hip-hop legend, I think I died |
| [01:28.289] | In a accident, cause this must be heaven |
| [01:32.005] | Testify |
| [01:35.887] | I'm up in the spot lookin' extra fly |
| [01:36.145] | 'Fore the day you die, you ganna touch the sky |
| [01:40.668] | Testify |
| [01:41.983] | I'm up in the spot lookin' extra fly |

| [01:47.973] | |
| [01:49.579] | Now let's take them hi-ah-igh-igh-igh-ighhhh |

| [02:00.753] | |
| [02:04.470][Verse 2 - Kanye West] | |
| [02:06.582] | Back when Gucci was the hits to rock |
| [02:08.719] | Back when Slick Rick had the shit to pop |
| [02:11.140] | I'd do anything to say I got it |
| [02:13.267] | Damn, them new loafers hurt my pocket |
| [02:15.643] | Before anybody wanted K. West beats |
| [02:17.501] | Me and my girl split the buffet at KFC |
| [02:20.695] | Dog, I was having nervous breakdowns |
| [02:22.293] | Like "Man - these niggas that much better than me?" |
| [02:24.955] | Baby, I'm going on an airplane |
| [02:29.986] | And I don't know if I'll be back again |
| [02:30.266] | Sure enough, I sent the plane tickets |
| [02:31.842] | But when she came to kick it, things became different |
| [02:33.972] | Any girl I cheated on, sheets I skeeted on |
| [02:35.032] | Couldn't keep it at home, thought I needed a Nia Long |
| [02:37.717] | I'm trying to right my wrongs |
| [02:40.361] | But it's funny them same wrongs helped me write this song |
| [02:43.828] | Testify |
| [02:45.148] | I'm up in the spot lookin' extra fly |
| [02:49.665] | 'Fore the day you die, you ganna touch the sky tonight |
| [02:52.794] | Testify |
| [02:57.310] | I'm up in the spot lookin' extra fly |
| [02:59.162] | 'Fore the day you die, you ganna touch the sky |
| [03:00.493] | Now say: I'm, I'm sky high |
| [03:05.006] | say: I'm, I'm sky high |
| [03:09.268] | say: I'm, I'm sky high |
| [03:27.059] | Feels good to be home, feels good to be home |
| [03:33.922] | Are y'all happy you came to VH1 Storytellers? |
| [03:57.318] | Get up and touch the sky, come on |
| [04:11.668] | |
| [04:12.978] | I am so disappointed, that I cannot see me perform |
| [04:18.296] | Except for on playback |
| [04:24.143] | My greatest pain in life, is that I'll never see me perform |
| [04:32.012] | So you are welcome to know a pleasure, that I will never have |
| [04:43.471] | |
| [04:45.062]Come on [20x] | |
| [05:10.290] | |
| [05:13.191] | This song is what inspired 808's and Heartbreak more than anything |
| [05:14.522] | Because we used do this at the end of the tour every night |
| [05:16.647] | And I would do it for – how many of you saw the Glow In The Dark tour in the room tonight? |
| [05:21.451] | Thank you so much, for coming to the tour |
| [05:29.957] | |
| [05:30.480] | So y’all remember at the end of the show I would do this song |
| [05:32.874] | And I would say some inspirational words and I would sing |
| [05:37.643] | And I had the opportunity to just kind of do it and play it off |
| [05:40.570] | But I discovered that I love to sing |
| [05:44.553] | So much and to my thing and harmonize and just go up and down and just **** around |
| [05:53.602] | I really feel like a vessel |
| [05:56.789] | And I open my mouth and God will let beautiful words flow through |
| [06:03.708] | That’s why I realized that he chose me and he has a path for me |
| [06:09.537] | Because half the things that come out, I can’t be responsible for |
| [06:16.714] | And I guess he just wants me to say more and more and more and never be insecure and always be sure, be sure |
| [06:26.295] | And he will give me the strength I need to endure, for sure |
| [06:33.203] | As I tour and bring the pure |
| [06:38.250] | So much more, more, for sure |
| [06:40.911] | For your entertainment, education and relation |
| [06:51.266] | To take away your hesitation and segregation |
| [06:53.921] | |
| [06:54.725] | In a country full of immigrants, where no one really was born here, but separated here |
| [07:08.253] | It’s a beautiful thing that in a country that was so divided by the concept of black and white |
| [07:14.892] | We now have a black and white president |
| [07:17.808] | |
| [07:22.319] | And this is what the future is to me |
| [07:26.849] | The juxtaposition: two things that you think don’t go together |
| [07:30.867] | |
| [07:33.246] | When a black, super-Hip-Hop-dressed dude gets on an elevator and there’s an old lady with Chanel and she grabs her purse |
| [07:40.965] | I’ll give you a cliché example |
| [07:43.083] | What would happen if they actually talk to each other? |
| [07:47.353] | What would she learn? What would he learn? |
| [07:50.804] | |
| [07:51.874] | When the rich man hopping out the Lincoln Town Car, passes by the homeless person |
| [07:57.459] | And they actually talk to each other |
| [07:59.040] | What would he learn? What would he learn? |
| [08:01.169] | |
| [08:04.627] | If a black man, that came from Chicago and was taught to stand so far away from gay people, ‘cause you do not want to be accused of being gay |
| [08:20.561] | Was to talk to a gay person |
| [08:28.293] | What would he learn? What did I learn? |
| [08:30.681] | |
| [08:31.219] | I learned that people in Chicago was wrong |
| [08:36.522] | And I’ve been an asshole all along |
| [08:42.123] | A lot of things that you learn are wrong |
| [08:46.642] | So don’t be an asshole too long, too long, too long |
| [08:59.718] | You can’t be an asshole too long |
| [09:02.370] | You can’t be an asshole too long |
| [09:06.620] | |
| [09:08.471] | ‘Cause the more you know, the more you grow, the more responsibility you have show what you know |
| [09:10.604] | And give everything that you got to give, baby that’s the reason God let me live through the accident without practicing |
| [09:19.901] | Okay, got to bring this up and bring it back again |
| [09:21.747] | Okay, okay, okay, okay |

| [02:04.470][Verse 2 - Kanye West] | |
| [02:06.582] | Back when Gucci was the hits to rock |
| [02:08.719] | Back when Slick Rick had the shit to pop |
| [02:11.140] | I' d do anything to say I got it |
| [02:13.267] | Damn, them new loafers hurt my pocket |
| [02:15.643] | Before anybody wanted K. West beats |
| [02:17.501] | Me and my girl split the buffet at KFC |
| [02:20.695] | Dog, I was having nervous breakdowns |
| [02:22.293] | Like " Man these niggas that much better than me?" |
| [02:24.955] | Baby, I' m going on an airplane |
| [02:29.986] | And I don' t know if I' ll be back again |
| [02:30.266] | Sure enough, I sent the plane tickets |
| [02:31.842] | But when she came to kick it, things became different |
| [02:33.972] | Any girl I cheated on, sheets I skeeted on |
| [02:35.032] | Couldn' t keep it at home, thought I needed a Nia Long |
| [02:37.717] | I' m trying to right my wrongs |
| [02:40.361] | But it' s funny them same wrongs helped me write this song |
| [02:43.828] | Testify |
| [02:45.148] | I' m up in the spot lookin' extra fly |
| [02:49.665] | ' Fore the day you die, you ganna touch the sky tonight |
| [02:52.794] | Testify |
| [02:57.310] | I' m up in the spot lookin' extra fly |
| [02:59.162] | ' Fore the day you die, you ganna touch the sky |
| [03:00.493] | Now say: I' m, I' m sky high |
| [03:05.006] | say: I' m, I' m sky high |
| [03:09.268] | say: I' m, I' m sky high |
| [03:27.059] | Feels good to be home, feels good to be home |
| [03:33.922] | Are y' all happy you came to VH1 Storytellers? |
| [03:57.318] | Get up and touch the sky, come on |
| [04:11.668] | |
| [04:12.978] | I am so disappointed, that I cannot see me perform |
| [04:18.296] | Except for on playback |
| [04:24.143] | My greatest pain in life, is that I' ll never see me perform |
| [04:32.012] | So you are welcome to know a pleasure, that I will never have |
| [04:43.471] | |
| [04:45.062]Come on [20x] | |
| [05:10.290] | |
| [05:13.191] | This song is what inspired 808' s and Heartbreak more than anything |
| [05:14.522] | Because we used do this at the end of the tour every night |
| [05:16.647] | And I would do it for how many of you saw the Glow In The Dark tour in the room tonight? |
| [05:21.451] | Thank you so much, for coming to the tour |
| [05:29.957] | |
| [05:30.480] | So y' all remember at the end of the show I would do this song |
| [05:32.874] | And I would say some inspirational words and I would sing |
| [05:37.643] | And I had the opportunity to just kind of do it and play it off |
| [05:40.570] | But I discovered that I love to sing |
| [05:44.553] | So much and to my thing and harmonize and just go up and down and just around |
| [05:53.602] | I really feel like a vessel |
| [05:56.789] | And I open my mouth and God will let beautiful words flow through |
| [06:03.708] | That' s why I realized that he chose me and he has a path for me |
| [06:09.537] | Because half the things that come out, I can' t be responsible for |
| [06:16.714] | And I guess he just wants me to say more and more and more and never be insecure and always be sure, be sure |
| [06:26.295] | And he will give me the strength I need to endure, for sure |
| [06:33.203] | As I tour and bring the pure |
| [06:38.250] | So much more, more, for sure |
| [06:40.911] | For your entertainment, education and relation |
| [06:51.266] | To take away your hesitation and segregation |
| [06:53.921] | |
| [06:54.725] | In a country full of immigrants, where no one really was born here, but separated here |
| [07:08.253] | It' s a beautiful thing that in a country that was so divided by the concept of black and white |
| [07:14.892] | We now have a black and white president |
| [07:17.808] | |
| [07:22.319] | And this is what the future is to me |
| [07:26.849] | The juxtaposition: two things that you think don' t go together |
| [07:30.867] | |
| [07:33.246] | When a black, superHipHopdressed dude gets on an elevator and there' s an old lady with Chanel and she grabs her purse |
| [07:40.965] | I' ll give you a cliché example |
| [07:43.083] | What would happen if they actually talk to each other? |
| [07:47.353] | What would she learn? What would he learn? |
| [07:50.804] | |
| [07:51.874] | When the rich man hopping out the Lincoln Town Car, passes by the homeless person |
| [07:57.459] | And they actually talk to each other |
| [07:59.040] | What would he learn? What would he learn? |
| [08:01.169] | |
| [08:04.627] | If a black man, that came from Chicago and was taught to stand so far away from gay people, ' cause you do not want to be accused of being gay |
| [08:20.561] | Was to talk to a gay person |
| [08:28.293] | What would he learn? What did I learn? |
| [08:30.681] | |
| [08:31.219] | I learned that people in Chicago was wrong |
| [08:36.522] | And I' ve been an asshole all along |
| [08:42.123] | A lot of things that you learn are wrong |
| [08:46.642] | So don' t be an asshole too long, too long, too long |
| [08:59.718] | You can' t be an asshole too long |
| [09:02.370] | You can' t be an asshole too long |
| [09:06.620] | |
| [09:08.471] | ' Cause the more you know, the more you grow, the more responsibility you have show what you know |
| [09:10.604] | And give everything that you got to give, baby that' s the reason God let me live through the accident without practicing |
| [09:19.901] | Okay, got to bring this up and bring it back again |
| [09:21.747] | Okay, okay, okay, okay |
| [09:24.681]Alright [7x] | |
| [09:27.867] | No publishing Outkast, please |
| [09:29.979]Alright [5x] | |
| [09:33.966] | Shout out to three G' s |
| [09:39.296] | One of the few dressed quite as fresh as me |
