[Chorus: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
I gotta testify
~#**************#~
Come up in the spot lookin extra fly
~#**************#~
‘Fore the day I die, Ima touch the sky
~#**************#~
Gotta testify
~#**************#~
Come up in the spot lookin extra fly
~#**************#~
‘Fore the day I die, Ima touch the sky
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: 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 Boys street team: I couldnt work the locks
~#**************#~
Now lets go, take em back to the plan
~#**************#~
Me and my momma hopped in that U-Haul van
~#**************#~
Any pessimists, I aint talk to them
~#**************#~
Plus I aint have no phone in my apart-a-ment
~#**************#~
Lets 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
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
I gotta testify
~#**************#~
Come up in the spot lookin extra fly
~#**************#~
‘Fore the day I die, Ima touch the sky
~#**************#~
Gotta testify
~#**************#~
Come up in the spot lookin extra fly
~#**************#~
‘Fore the day I die, Ima touch the sky
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
Now lets take them hi-ah-igh-igh-igh-ighhhh
~#**************#~
(Top of the world, baby, top, top of the world!)
~#**************#~
A-la-la-la-lah-la-lahhhhh
~#**************#~
(Top of the world, baby, on top of the world!)
~#**************#~
Now lets take them hi-ah-igh-igh-igh-ighhhh
~#**************#~
(Top of the world, baby, top, top of the world!)
~#**************#~
A-la-la-la-lah-la-lahhhhh
~#**************#~
(Top of the world, baby, on top of the world!)
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
Back when Gucci was the shit to rock
~#**************#~
Back when Slick Rick got the shit to pop
~#**************#~
Id 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
~#**************#~
Dawg, I was havin nervous breakdowns
~#**************#~
Like “Man, these niggas that much better than me?”
~#**************#~
Baby, Im goin on an aeroplane
~#**************#~
And I dont know if Ill 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
~#**************#~
Couldnt keep it at home, thought I needed a Nia Long
~#**************#~
Im tryin to right my wrongs
~#**************#~
But its funny them same wrongs helped me write this song, now
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
I gotta testify
~#**************#~
Come up in the spot lookin 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 lookin extra fly
~#**************#~
‘Fore the day you die, you gon touch the sky
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]
~#**************#~
Yes, yes, yes, guess whos on third?
~#**************#~
Lupe steal like Lupin the 3rd
~#**************#~
Here like ear til Im beer on the curb
~#**************#~
Peachfuzz buzz but beard on the verge
~#**************#~
Lets slow it down like were on the syrup
~#**************#~
Bottle-shaped body like Mrs. Butterworth
~#**************#~
But before you say another word
~#**************#~
Im back on the block like Im layin on the street
~#**************#~
Im tryna stop lyin like Im Mumm-Ra
~#**************#~
But Im not lyin when Im layin 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
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
I gotta testify
~#**************#~
Come up in the spot lookin 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 lookin extra fly
~#**************#~
‘Fore the day you die, you gon touch the sky
~#**************#~
[Outro: 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!
~#**************#~
