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
