Through the Wire

[Music Video] [Produced by Kanye West] [Intro] Yo Gee, they can't stop me from rapping, can they? Can they, Hop? I spit it through the wire, man There's too much stuff on my heart right now, man I'd gladly risk it all right now It's a life-or-death situation, man Y'all, y'all don't really understand how I feel right now It's your boy Kanye to the... Chi-town, what's goin' on? [Verse 1] 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 wi-zerk 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 trying to be mine She a Delta, so she been throwing that Dynasty sign No use in me tryin to be lyin', I 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 [Interlude] I really apologize for everything right now, if it's unclear at all, man 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 I looked in the mirror and half 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 what I got to say right here, dawg [Verse 2] What if somebody from the Chi' that was ill got a deal On the hottest rap label around? But he wasn't talking about 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 wants to sue I got a lawyer for the case to keep what's in my safe safe My dawgs couldn't tell if 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'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 shit 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 [Outro] Y'know what I'm saying? When the doctor told me I had, um, that 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? It's bad enough I got all this jewelry on!" Haha She can't be serious, man
