Through the Wire (Live At Abbey Road Studios) - Kanye West

Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall

For a chance to be with you I'd gladly risk it all

Through the fire, through whatever come my way

For a chance at loving you, I'd take it all the way...

Right down to the wire, even through the fire

Yo G they can't stop me from rapping can they?

Can that huh?

I spit it through the wire man

To 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 Kayne titter...

Chi-Town what's going on man

(1)

I drink a boost for breakfast, an Ensure for dizzert

Somebody ordered pancakes I just sip the sizzurp

That right there could drive a sane man bizerk

Not to worry the Mr. H-to-the-Izzo's back wizzork

How do you console my mom or give her light support

When you telling her your sons' on life support

And just imagine how my girl feel

On the plane scared as hell that her guy look like Emmit Till

She was with me before the deal she been trying to be mine

She a delta so she been throwing them dynasty signs

I'm use to trying to reline

I been trying to be sign

Trying to be a millionaire

How I use 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 is history in the making man

(In background)

Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall

For chance to be with you I'd gladly risk it all

Through the fire, through whatever come my way

For a chance at loving you, I'd take it all the way...

Right down to the wire, even through the fire

I really apologize how I sound right now man

This ain't fair at all man

They got my mouth wired shut for like I don't know the doctor said for like six weeks

You know we had reconstru...

I had reconstructive surgery on my jaw

Looked in the mirror half my jaw was missing and half my mouth

I couldn't believe it

But im still here for yall right now yo

This is what I gotta say yo

Yeah, turn me up yeah

(2)

What if somebody from the Chi-town 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 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 an eye his whole life changed

If you could feel how my face felt you would know how Mase felt

Thank God I ain't to cool for the safe belt

I swear to God driver two on the sue

I got lawyer for the case to keep my safe book safe

My dawgs couldn't tell if I

I look 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 gotta angel

Cause look how death missed his ass

Unbreakable, would you thought they called 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 wont 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

(In background)

Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall

For chance to be with you I'd gladly risk it all

Through the fire, through whatever come my way

For a chance at loving you, I'd take it all the way...

Right down to the wire, even through the fire

Know what im saying

When the doctor told me I had a um. I was goin to have a plate on my chin

I said dawg didn't you realize I'll never make it on the plane now

Its bad I got all this jewelry on

Can't be serious man
