Through the Wire Remix Songtext
von Ye

(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) it's too much stuff on my heart right now, man
I'll 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)
Y-y′all don't really understand how I feel right now, man (I′d take it all the way)
It's your boy Kanye to the (right down to the wire)
Chi-Town, what′s going on? (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
They got my mouth wired shut for, like- (for a chance to be with you)
I dunno, the doctor said, like, six weeks (I'd gladly risk it all)
You know, he had reconstruc-, 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 (for a chance at loving you)
I couldn′t believe it (I′d take it all the way)
But I'm still here for y′all right now, man (right down to the wire)
This is what I got to say right here, dawg, yeah (even through the fire)
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 (uh-huh-huh)
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 - 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 (whoo)

(Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall) 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 (for a chance to be with you)
(I′d gladly risk it all) 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" (through the fire, through whatever, come what may)
You 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
