Through The Wire Song Lyrics by Kanye West
Yo, Gee, they can’t stop me from rapping can they?Can they, Hop?I spit it through the wire, manIt’s too much stuff on my heart right now, manI’ll gladly risk it all right nowIt’s a life or death situation, manY’all don’t really understand how I feel right now, manIt’s your boy Kanye to theChi-Town, what’s going on?Uh-huh, yeah, yeah
I drink a Boost for breakfast, an Ensure for dessertSomebody ordered pancakes I just sip the sizzurpThat right there could drive a sane man berserkNot to worry, Mr. H-to-the-Izzo’s back to wizzerk
How do you console my mom or give her light supportTelling her, her son’s on life supportAnd just imagine how my girl feelOn the plane scared as hell that her guy look like Emmett Till
She was with me before the deal she been tryna be mineShe a delta so she been throwing that dynasty signNo use me tryna be lyingI’ve been trying to be signedTrying to be a millionaireHow I used two lifelines?
In the same hospital where Biggie Smalls diedThe doctor said I had blood clotsBut I ain’t Jamaican, manStory on MTV and I ain’t trying to make a bandI swear, this right here, history in the making, man
I really apologize for everything right now manIf it’s unclear at all, manThey got my mouth wired shut for like I don’t know the doctor said like six weeksYou know we had reconstru-I had reconstructive surgery on my jaw
I looked in the mirror, half of my jaw was in the back of my mouth, manI couldn’t believe itBut I’m still here for y’all right now, manThis is what I gotta say right here dawgYeah, turn me up, yeahUh
What if somebody from the Chi that was illGot a deal on the hottest rap label around?But he wasn’t talking ’bout coke and birds it was more like spoken wordExcept he’s really putting it down
And he explained the story about how blacks came from gloryAnd what we need to do in the gameGood dude, bad night, right place, wrong timeIn the blink of a eye his whole life changed
If you could feel how my face felt, you would know how Mase feltThank God I ain’t too cool for the safe beltI swear to God, driver two wanna sueI got a lawyer for the case, to keep what’s in my safe safe
My dawgs couldn’t tell if II looked like Tom Cruise on Vanilla SkyIt was televisedThere’s been an accident like GEICOThey thought I was burnt up like Pepsi did Michael
I must got a angel‘Cause look how death missed his assUnbreakable, what you thought they’d call me Mr. Glass?Look back on my life like the Ghost of Christmas PastToys “R” Us where I used to spend that Christmas cash
And I still won’t grow up, I’m a grown ass kidSwear I should be locked up for stupid s- that I didBut I’m a champion, so I turned tragedy to triumphMake music that’s fire, spit my soul through the wire
You know what I’m saying?When the doctor told me I had a, umI was goin’ to have a plate in my chinI said, “Dawg, don’t you realize I’ll never make it on a plane now?It’s bad enough I got all this jewelry on”You can’t be serious, man
