Chorus:
I gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin extra fly
For the day I die
I’mma touch the sky
Gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin extra fly
For the day I die
I’mma touch the sky
Verse 1 – Kanye:
Back when they thought pink polo’s would hurt the Roc
Before Cam got the shit to pop
The doors was closed
I felt like Bad Boy street team I couldn’t work the locks
Now lets go
Take em back to the plan
Me and my momma hopped in that Uhaul van
Any pessimists I talk to man
Plus I ain’t no have phone in my apartment
Let’s take em back to the club
At least about an hour I stand in line I just wanted to dance
I went to Jacob an hour after I got my advance I just wanted to shine
Jay favorite line “dawg in due time”
Now he look at me like “damn dawg you where I am”
A hip-hop legend
I think I died in the accident cause this must be heaven
Chorus:
I gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin extra fly
For the day I die
I’mma touch the sky
Gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin extra fly
For the day I die
I’mma touch the sky
Now let’s take em high
(Top of the world baby)
Now let’s take em high
(Top of the world baby)
Verse 2 – Kanye:
Back when Gucci was the shit to rick
When Slick Rick got the shit 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 bucket at KFC
Dawg I was having nervous breakdown’s
Like “damn these niggas that much better than me”
Baby I’m goin on a airplane
And I don’t know if I’ll be back again
Sure I enough I sent the plane ticket
But when she came to kick it things became different
Any girl I cheated on sheets got skeeted on
Couldn’t keep it at home thought I needed a Nia Long
I’m trying to right my wrongs
But its funny the same wrongs help me write this song
Chorus:
I gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin extra fly
For the day you die
You gonna touch the sky (you gonna touch the sky baby girl)
Testify
Come up in the spot lookin extra fly
For the day you die
You gonna touch the sky
Verse 3 – Lupe Fiasco:
Yes guess who’s on third
Lupe still like loopin the third
Here like beer when I’m on the curb
Peachfuzz buzz but beard on the verge
And slow it down like we’re on the serve
Bottle shape body like Mrs. Butterworth
But before you say another word
I’m back on the block like I’m layin on the street
I’m tryin to stop lion like Mumrah
But I ain’t lying when I’m lyin on the beat
On guard
But I still feel possessed as a gun charge
Coming correct as a porn star
In a fresh pair of steps and my best foreign car
So I represent the first
So let me end my verse right where the horns are
Chorus:
I gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin extra fly
For the day you die
You gonna touch the sky (you gonna touch the sky baby girl)
Testify
Come up in the spot lookin extra fly
For the day you die
You gonna touch the sky
