Kanye West - Through the Wire lyrics

Last October Grammy nominated
Producer KANYE WEST was in a nearly fatal
Car accident his jaw was fractured
In nearly three places
Two weeks later he recorded this
Song with his mouth still
Wired shut so the world could feel his pain!

Yo, Gee, they can't stop me from rappin'
Can they? Can they Hop?

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 what may for a chance at loving you
I'd take it all the way
Right down to the wire, even through the fire

I spit it through the wire, man
There's too much stuff on my heart right now


Man i'd gladly risk it all right now
It's a life-or-death situation, man
Y'all, y'all don't really understand how
I feel right now, man
It's your boy, Kanye to the
Chi Town, what's goin' on?
Uh huh, yeah, yeah

I drink a Boost for breakfast
An Ensure for dessert
Somebody ordered pancakes
I just sip the sizzurp
That right there could drive
A sane man berserk not to worry
Mr h-to-the-Izzo's back to wizzerk
How do you console my mom
Or give her light support
Tellin' her her son's on life support?
And just imagine how my girl feel
On the plane scared as hell that
Her guy look like Emmett Till
She was with me before the deal
She'd been tryna be mine she a Delta
So she'd been throwin' that Dynasty sign
No use in me tryna be lyin'
I been tryna be signed
Tryin' to be a millionaire
How I used 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 tryna make a band
I swear, this right here
History in the makin', man

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 what may 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 for everything right now
If it's unclear at all, man
They got my mouth wired shut
For like… I dunno
The doctor said like six weeks
Y'know, he had
I had reconstructive surgery on my jaw
I looked in the mirror
And half my jaw was in the back of my mouth
Man i couldn't believe it
But I'm still here for y'all right now, man
This what I got to say right here, dawg
Yeah, turn me up, yeah, uh

What if somebody from the Chi' that
Was ill got a deal
On the hottest rap label around?
But he wasn't talkin' 'bout coke and birds
It was more like spoken word
'cept he's really puttin' it down?
And he explained the story 'bout
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 a eye, his whole life changed
If you could feel how my face felt
You would know how Mase felt (Mason Betha)
Thank God I ain't too cool for the safe belt
I swear to God, driver two wanna sue
I got a lawyer for the case
To keep what's in my safe safe
My dawgs couldn't tell if I
I looked like Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky
It was televised
There's been an accident like GEICO
They thought I was burnt up
Like Pepsi did Michael i must got a angel
‘cause look how death missed his ass
Unbreakable, what
You thought they'd call 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 won't 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

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 what may for a chance at loving you
I'd take it all the way
Right down to the wire, even through the fire

Y'know what I'm sayin'?
When the doctor told me I had, um
That I was gonna have to have
A plate in my chin i 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
