Through The Wire

Lyrics

Yo, Gee, they can't stop me from rapping can they?
 Can they, Hop?
 I spit it through the wire, man
 It's too much stuff on my heart right now, man
 I'll gladly risk it all right now
 It's a life or death situation, man
 Y'all don't really understand how I feel right now, man
 It's your boy Kanye to the
 Chi-Town, what's going on?
 Uh-huh, yeah, yeah
 I drink a Boost for breakfast, an Ensure for dessert
 Somebody ordered pancakes I just sip the sizzurp
 That right there could drive a sane man berserk
 Not to worry, Mr. H-to-the-Izzo's back to wizzerk
 How do you console my mom or give her light support
 Telling 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 been tryna be mine
 She a delta so she been throwing that dynasty sign
 No use me tryna be lying
 I've been trying to be signed
 Trying to be a millionaire
 How 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 trying to make a band
 I swear, this right here, history in the making, man
 I really apologize for everything right now man
 If it's unclear at all, man
 They got my mouth wired shut for like I don't know the doctor said like six weeks
 You know we had reconstru-
 I had reconstructive surgery on my jaw
 I looked in the mirror, half of my jaw was in the back of my mouth, man
 I couldn't believe it
 But I'm still here for y'all right now, man
 This is what I gotta 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 talking 'bout coke and birds it was more like spoken word
 Except he's really putting it down
 And he explained the story about 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
 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 on 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'd call me Mr. Glass?
 Look back on my life like the Ghost of Christmas Past
 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 s- that I did
 But I'm a champion, so I turned tragedy to triumph
 Make music that's fire, spit my soul through the wire
 You know what I'm saying?
 When the doctor told me I had a, um
 I was goin' to have a plate in my chin
 I said, "Dawg, don't you realize I'll never make it on a plane now?
 It's bad enough I got all this jewelry on"
 You can't be serious, man
