Lyrics & chords

[Chorus 1]
[Em]I gott[Dm]a testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
[Em]'For[Am]e the day I die, I'ma touch the sky
[Em]Gott[Dm]a testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
[Em]'For[Am]e the day I die, I'ma touch the sky

[Verse 1]
Back when they [Em]thought pink Polos
[Dm]would hurt The Rock
Before Cam got the shit to pop
The doors [Em]closed,
I [Am]felt like Bad Boy's street team
I couldn't work the locks
Now let's [Em]go,
[Dm]take 'em back to the plan
Me and my mama hopped in that U-Haul van
[Em]Any pessimists, [Am]I ain't talk to them
Plus I ain't have no phone in my apart-a-ment
[Em]Let's take[Dm] 'em back to the club
Least about an hour I stand on line
I just [Em]wanted to dance,
I [Am]went to Jacob an hour
After I got my advance,
I just wanted to shine
[Em]Jay favorite l[Dm]ine, "Dawg, in due time"
Now he look at me, like, "Damn, dawg!
You where I am"
[Em]A hip-hop [Am]legend
I think I died in that accident,

[Chorus 2]
'cause this must be heaven
[Em]I gott[Dm]a testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
[Em]'For[Am]e the day I die, I'ma touch the sky
[Em]Gott[Dm]a testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
[Em]'For[Am]e the day I die, I'ma touch the sky

[Interlude 1]
Now let's take 'em [Em]high[Dm]
A-la-la-la- [Em]la- la- [Am]la
Now let's take 'em [Em]high[Dm]
A-la-la-la- [Em]la- la- [Am]la

[Verse 2]
[Em]Back when Gucci [Dm]was the shit to rock
Back when Slick Rick got the shit to pop
[Em]I'd do anything [Am]to say I got it
Damn, them new loafers hurt my pocket
Be[Em]fore anybo[Dm]dy wanted K. West beats
Me and my girl split the buffet at KFC
[Em]Dog, I was havin[Am]g nervous breakdowns
Like "Man, these niggas
that much better than me?"
Ba[Em]by, I'm go[Dm]ing on an aeroplane
And I don't know if I'll be back again
[Em]Sure enough, I sen[Am]t the plane tickets
But when she came came to kick it,
things became different
Any [Em]girl I cheated [Dm]on, sheets I skeeted on
Couldn't keep it at home,
thought I needed a Nia Long
[Em]I'm tryn[Am]a right my wrongs
But it's funny them same wrongs

[Chorus 3]
helped me write this song, now
[Em]I gott[Dm]a testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
[Em]'For[Am]e the day you die,
you gon' touch the sky
You gon' touch the [Em]sky, baby [Dm]girl, testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
[Em]'For[Am]e the day you die,
you gon' touch the sky

[Verse 3]
Yes, [Em]yes, yes, [Dm]guess who's on third?
Lupe steal like Lupin the 3rd
[Em]Here like ear [Am]'til I'm beer on the curb
Peachfuzz buzz but beard on the verge
[Em]Let's slow it down like [Dm]we're on the syrup
Bottle shaped body like Mrs. Butterworth
[Em]But, be[Am]fore you say another word
I'm back on the block
like I'm laying on the street
I'm [Em]tryna stop lyin' [Dm]like I'm Mumm-Ra
But I'm not lyin' when I'm laying on the beat
En [Em]garde, or touche
[Am]Lupe cool as the unthawed
But I still feel possessed as a gun charge
[Em]Come as correct as a[Dm] porn star
In a fresh pair steps in my best foreign car
[Em]So, [Am]I represent the first
Now let me end my verse

[Chorus 4]
right where the horns are like, uh
[Em]I gott[Dm]a testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
[Em]'For[Am]e the day you die,
you gon' touch the sky
You gon' touch the [Em]sky, baby [Dm]girl, testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
[Em]'For[Am]e the day you die,
you gon' touch the sky

[Outro 1]
We back at [Em]home, baby
[Dm]Uh, sky high
I'm, I'm sky high
[Em]I'm, I'm s[Am]ky high
I'm, I'm sky high
[Em]I'm, I'm s[Dm]ky high
I'm, I'm sky high
[Em]Sky, [Am]uh, sky high
I'm, I'm sky high
[Em]Yeah[Dm], keep it rollin'
Yeah, [Em]home,[Am]
uh, feels good to be [Em]home, [Dm]baby
Feels good to be home
[Em][Am]
