[00:20.280]Back when they thought pink polo's would hurt the Roc,
[00:22.450]Before Cam got the shit to pop, the doors was closed.
[00:25.410]I felt like Bad Boy's street team, I couldn't work the Lox （locks）.
[00:28.700]Now let's go.
[00:29.780]Take 'em back to the plan...
[00:31.610]Me and my momma hopped in the U-Haul van.
[00:33.750]Any pessimists I ain't talked to them,
[00:35.810]Plus, I ain't have no phone in my apartment.
[00:38.250]Let's take 'em back to the club.
[00:40.590]Least about an hour I would stand on line,
[00:42.620]I just wanted to dance.
[00:43.740]I went to Jacob an hour after I got my advance.
[00:45.960]I just wanted to shine.
[00:47.360]Jay's favorite line: "Dog, in due time"
[00:49.500]Now he look at me, like "Damn, dog, you where I am"
[00:51.950]A hip hop legend.
[00:53.410]I think I died in an accident, cause this must be heaven.
[00:57.140]I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly
[01:00.450]For the day I die, I'mma touch the sky
[01:04.470]Gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly
[01:09.890]For the day I die, I'mma touch the sky
[01:14.60]Now let's take 'em high-igh-igh-igh-igh-igh la la la la la la la

[01:22.680]Now let's take 'em high-igh-igh-igh-igh-igh la la la la la la la
[01:29.320]（Top of the world, baby. T-Top of the world）
[01:32.380]Back when Gucci was the shit to rock,
[01:34.500]Back when Slick Rick got the shit to pop,
[01:36.840]I'd do anything to say "I got it".
[01:39.50]Damn, them new loafers hurt my pocket.
[01:41.300]Before anybody wanted K-West beats,
[01:43.490]Me and my girl split the buffet at KFC.
[01:45.640]Dog, I was having nervous breakdowns,
[01:48.150]Like "Damn, these niggas that much better than me?"
[01:50.340]Baby, I'm going on an airplane,
[01:52.750]And I don't know if I'll be back again.
[01:55.90]Sure enough, I sent the plane tickets,
[01:56.970]But when she came to kick it, things became different.
[01:59.110]Any girl I cheated on, sheets I skeeted on.
[02:01.410]I couldn't keep it home, I thought I needed a Nia Long.
[02:03.670]I'm trying to write my wrongs,
[02:05.780]But it's funny these same wrongs helped me write this song.
[02:08.170]Now,
[02:09.290]I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly
[02:12.620]For the day you die, You gonna touch the sky
[02:16.490]（You gonna touch the sky babygirl!） Testify, come up in the spot
[02:19.820]Looking extra fly
[02:22.890]For the day you die, You gonna touch the sky
[02:26.100]Yes, yes, yes guess who's on third?
[02:28.400]Lupe still like Lupin the Third.
[02:30.780]Hear life here till I'm beer on the curb
[02:33.150]Peach fuzz buzz but bit on the verge
[02:35.290]Hold it down like we're on the serve
[02:37.510]Bottle-shaped body like Mrs. Butterworth's.
[02:40.10]But, before you say another word,
[02:42.170]I'm back on the block like a man on the street.
[02:44.380]I'm trying to stop lying like a Mum-Ra,
[02:46.250]But I'm not lying when I'm laying on the beat.
[02:48.240]Engarde, Touch Lupe cool as the Unthar,
[02:51.800]But I still feel as possessed as a gun charge.
[02:53.600]I come as correct as a porn star,
[02:55.70]In a fresh pair of steps and my best foreign car.
[02:57.700]So, I represent the first.
[02:59.880]Now, let me hear my verse right where the horns are like
[03:03.130]I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly
[03:06.490]For the day you die, You gonna touch the sky
[03:10.380]（You gonna touch the sky babygirl!） Testify, come up in the spot
[03:14.410]Looking extra fly
[03:16.240]For the day you die, You gonna touch the sky
[03:20.240]（We back at home, baby）
[03:21.660]Sky high
[03:22.560]I'm, I'm sky high
[03:24.810]I'm, I'm sky high
[03:26.900]I'm, I'm sky high
[03:31.260]I'm, I'm sky high
[03:33.610]Sky, Sky high
[03:35.920]I'm, I'm sky high
[03:38.410]Yeah! （Keep it rollin）
[03:42.620]（Feels good to be home, baby! Feels good to be home!）
