Tom Keane - Through the Wire lyrics

[Music Video] [Produced by Kanye West] [Intro] Yo, Gee, they can't stop me from rapping, can they? Can they, Hop? [Hook] 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 (There's too much stuff on my heart right now, man) Through the fire (I'd gladly risk it all right now) Through whatever, come what may (It's a life-or-d**h situation, man) For a chance at loving you (Y'all, 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... Chi-town, what's goin' on?) Right down to the wire Even through the fire [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'd been trying to be mine She a Delta, so she'd been throwing that Dynasty sign No use in me tryin' to be lyin', I been tryin' to be signed Tryin' 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 [Hook] Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall (I really apologize for everything right now if it's unclear at all, man) For a chance to be with you (They got my mouth wired shut for like I dunno) I'd gladly risk it all (The doctor said like six weeks, y'know he had, I had reconstructive surgery on my jaw) Through the fire Through whatever, come what may (I looked in the mirror) For a chance at loving you (And half my jaw was in the back of my mouth, man, 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 what I got to say right here, dawg) Even through the fire (Yeah, turn me up, yeah) [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 2 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... 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 d**h missed his a** Unbreakable, what, you thought they'd call me Mr. Gla**? 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-a** kid Swear I should be locked up for stupid sh** 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 [Hook/Outro] Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall (Y'know what I'm saying?) For a chance to be with you (When the doctor told me I had, um, that I was gonna have to have a plate in my chin, I said) I'd gladly risk it all ("Dawg, don't you realize I'll never make it on a plane now?") Through the fire ("It's bad enough I got all this j**elry on!") Through whatever, come what may For a chance at loving you (She can't be serious, man) I'd take it all the way Right down to the wire Even through the fire To the limit Through the fire To the limit Through the fire To the limit Through the fire To the limit
