- I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly
- For the day I die, I'mma touch the sky
- Gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly
- For the day I die, I'mma touch the sky
- 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's street team, I couldn't work the Lox (locks).
- Now let's go.
- Take 'em back to the plan...
- Me and my momma hopped in the U-Haul van.
- Any pessimists I ain't talked 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
- For the day I die, I'mma touch the sky
- Gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly
- For the day I die, I'mma 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 shit to rock,
- Back when Slick Rick got the shit to pop,
- I'd 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 "Damn, these niggas that much better than me?"
- Baby, I'm going on an airplane,
- 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 these same wrongs helped me write this song.
- Now,
- I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly
- For the day you die, You gonna touch the sky
- (You gonna touch the sky babygirl!) Testify, come up in the spot
- Looking extra fly
- For the day you die, You gonna touch the sky
- Yes, yes, yes guess who's on third?
- Lupe still like Lupin the Third.
- Hear life here till I'm beer on the curb
- Peach fuzz buzz but bit on the verge
- Hold it down like we're on the serve
- Bottle-shaped body like Mrs. Butterworth's.
- But, before you say another word,
- I'm back on the block like a man on the street.
- I'm trying to stop lying like a Mum-Ra,
- But I'm not lying when I'm laying on the beat.
- Engarde, Touch Lupe cool as the Unthar,
- But I still feel as possessed as a gun charge.
- I come as correct as a porn star,
- In a fresh pair of steps and my best foreign car.
- So, I represent the first.
- Now, let me hear my verse right where the horns are like
- I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly
- For the day you die, You gonna touch the sky
- (You gonna touch the sky babygirl!) Testify, come up in the spot
- Looking extra fly
- For 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!)
