[Intro] Through the wire To the wall All my rhymes is raw All these beats, beats, beats, beats, beats All of 'em coulda been lost I always got to floss I almost paid the cost So before I go [Verse 1] Every sunset feel righter, sunshines feel brighter Please light ya lighter for the producer and the writer Feel like God wrote this, I'm just here to quote this I don't know if you noticed, them accident pictures is bogus Doctor, doctor, would you please say somethin'? I know I almost was the final destination I musta had a blessin' from Pastor Mason 'Cause that trip to L.A. coulda been my last vacation And, man, I know I can Drop a down payment on that Porsche Cayenne But, what, I went along with the plan Paid for my own video, directed by my man I know God was holdin' my hand Wouldn't let me go before I went before Def Poetry Jam Wouldn't let me throw in the towel 'fore I got to throwin' some vowels 'Bout what we goin' through now Out the blue girls got a crush on me like I did beats for Mr. Cheeks And since the accident, they tellin' me that it's the cheeks But if you look at history, the last rapper that almost died Sold six-point-five 'cept I'm comin' from the Chi [Chorus] Through the wire To the wall All my rhymes is raw All these beats, beats, beats, beats, beats All of them coulda been lost I always got to floss I almost paid the cost So before I go to sleep, sleep, sleep Always thank the Lord For this mic and my keyboard Hecky nah, that boy is raw [Verse 2] Now even though I ain't wired up We, we, we fired up You ain't seen my concerts lately, they be linin' up You ain't seen my girls lately, they be tryin' to cut And they heard about my girl so I still chill 'Cause Monica Lewinsky already killed Bill And that girl that was with Kobe tried to go for the kill I think he put it in the wrong Holyfield Can I take a minute with y'all to be totally real? Far as my jaw and all, it ain't totally heal If I would have died 10/23 of last year That would have threw a monkey wrench in my whole career But me, I took the worst thing, turn it into the best thing I'm from the Chi, I guess it's just a Midwest thing Times like this make life interesting Times like this make me count my blessings 'Cause you could run around like King of the Chi But God could take that in a blink of a eye I remember Cedars-Sinai and all those cryin' Mama, I'm sorry for almost dyin' Tell Al we G and Hip Hop, mane Tell Don I'ma John Monopolize the game Add on Benny Medina, we gon' take 'em to the cleaners I'm Kanye West, the college dropout slash genius [Chorus] Through the wire To the wall All my rhymes is raw All these beats, beats, beats, beats, beats All of them coulda been lost I always got to floss I almost paid the cost So before I go to sleep, sleep, sleep Always thank the Lord For this mic and my keyboard Hecky nah, that boy is raw [Outro] Now if the Roc is in the building say, "Hell yeah!"
