Lupe Fiasco - Touch the Sky (album version) lyrics

I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'm a touch the sky Gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'm a touch the sky Back when they thought pink polos would hurt the Roc Before Cam got the sh** to pop, the doors was closed I felt like Bad Boy's street team, I couldn't work the Lox Now let's go Take 'em back to the plan... Me and my mama hopped in the U-Haul van Any pessimists I ain't talk to them Plus, I ain't have no phone in my apartment Let's take 'em back to the club Least about an hour I would 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 I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'm a touch the sky Gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'm a touch the sky Now let's take 'em high-igh-igh-igh-igh-igh la la la la la la la Top of the world, baby. T-Top of the world Now let's take 'em high-igh-igh-igh-igh-igh la la la la la la la Top of the world, baby. T-Top of the world Back when Gucci was the sh** to rock Back when Slick Rick got the sh** to pop I would 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 having nervous breakdowns Like "Man, these n***as that much better than me?" Baby, I'm going 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 I couldn't keep it home, I thought I needed a Nia Long I'm trying to write my wrongs But it's funny them same wrongs helped me write this song Now I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day you die, You gonna touch the sky You gonna touch the sky baby girl! Testify, come up in the spot Looking extra fly 'Fore the day you die, You gonna touch the sky Yes, yes, yes guess who's on third? Lupe steal like Lupin the Third Here like ear till 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. bu*terworth's But, before you say another word I'm back on the block like a man on the street I'm trying to stop Lion like I'm Mumm-Ra But I'm not lying when I'm laying on the beat Engarde, Touche Lupe cool as the unthawed But I still feel as possessed as a gun charge Come as correct as a p**n star In a fresh pair of steps and my best foreign car So, I represent the first Now, let me end my verse right where the horns are like I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day you die, You gonna touch the sky You gonna touch the sky baby girl! Testify, come up in the spot Looking extra fly 'Fore the day you die, You gonna touch the sky 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' Feels good to be home, baby! Feels good to be home!
