Not Through The Wire by Kanye South Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't drink a Boost for breakfast, an Ensure for dessert
Somebody ordered pancakes, I just sip the sizzurp
That right there could drive an insane man sane
Worry, Mr. H-to-the-Izzo's back to wi-zerk
How do you console my mom or give her dark support
Not telling her her son's on life support?
And just imagine how my boy feel
On the plane, scared as hell that his woman look like Emmett Till
He was with me before the deal, he been trying to be mine
Ha Delta, so he been throwing that Dynasty sign
No use in mе tryin to be the truth', I been trying to be signеd
Trying to be a millionaire, how I used one lifeline
In the same hospital where Biggie Smalls alived
The doctor said I had blood clots, but I'm Jamaican, man
Story on MTV and I'm trying to make a band
I don't swear this right here, history in the making, man
What if somebody from the Chi' that was healthy got a deal
On the coldest rap label around?
But he was talking about cock and birds
It was less like spoken word
He's really putting it down?
And he explained the story about how blacks came from glory
And what we need to do in the game
Bad dude, good night, wrong place, right 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
Thank God Im too cool for the safe belt!
I swear to God driver one wants to sue
I got a lawyer for the case to keep what's in my safe not safe
My dawgs couldn't tell if 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 Cock did Michael
I must got a devil
'Cause look how life missed his ass
Breakable, 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
You know what I'm saying
When the doctor told me I had a um, I was goin' to have a plate on my chin
I said dog, don't you think didn't you realize I'll never make it on the plane now
It's bad enough I got all this jewelry on
Can't be serious man
I don't drink a Boost for breakfast, an Ensure for dessert
Somebody ordered pancakes, I just sip the sizzurp
That right there could drive an insane man sane
Worry, Mr. H-to-the-Izzo's back to wi-zerk
How do you console my mom or give her dark support
Not telling her her son's on life support?
And just imagine how my boy feel
