[Chorus: Kanye West]
I gotta testify, come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day I die, I'ma touch the sky
Gotta testify, come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day I die, I'ma 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 Boy's street team, I couldn't work the locks
Now let's go, take 'em back to the plan
Me and my mama hopped in that U-Haul van
Any pessimists, I ain't talk to them
Plus I ain't have no phone in my apartament
Let's 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's favorite line, "Dog, in due time"
Now he look at me, like, "Damn, dog, you where I am," a hip-hop legend
I think I died in an 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, I'ma touch the sky
Gotta testify, come up in the spot lookin' extra fly (Yeah)
'Fore the day I die, I'ma touch the sky (Woo)
[Post-Chorus: Kanye West]
Now let's take 'em high (Top of the world, baby, top, top of the world)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la, uh (Top of the world, baby, top, top of the world)
Now let's take 'em high (Top of the world, baby, top, top of the world)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la, uh (Top of the world, baby, top, 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
I'd 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
Dog, I was havin' nervous breakdowns
Like "Man, these niggas that much better than me?"
Baby, I'm goin' on an aeroplane
And I don't know if I'll 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
Couldn't keep it at home, thought I needed a Nia Long
I'm tryin' to right my wrongs
But it's 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 who's on third?
Lupe steal like Lupin the 3rd
Here like ear 'til I'm beer on the curb
Peach fuzz buzz, but beard on the verge
Let's slow it down like we're on the syrup
Bottle-shaped body like Mrs. Butterworth
But before you say another word
I'm back on the block like I'm layin' on the street
I'm tryna stop lyin' like I'm Mumm-Ra
But I'm not lyin' when I'm layin' on the beat, en garde
Or touché, Lupe, cool as the unthawed
But I still feel possessed as a gun charge
They come as correct as a porn star
In a fresh pair of 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 (Yeah), you gon' touch the sky
[Outro: Kanye West]
We back at home, baby
Uh, sky high (Yeah), 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, uh, 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
