[Verse 1]
F#m7 Em7
Back when they thought pink Polos would hurt the Roc
Before Cam got the shit to pop
F#m7
The doors was closed
Bm
I felt like Bad Boy's street team: I couldn't work the locks
F#m7 Em7
Now let's go, take 'em back to the plan
Me and my momma hopped in that U-Haul van
F#m7 Bm
Any pessimists, I ain't talk to them
Plus I ain't have no phone in my apart-a-ment
F#m7 Em7
Let's take 'em back to the club
Least about an hour I stand on line
F#m7 Bm
I just wanted to dance, I went to Jacob an hour
After I got my advance, I just wanted to shine
F#m7 Em7
Jay favorite line: "Dawg, in due time!"
Now he look at me, like, "Damn, dawg! You where I am!"

A hip-hop legend
N.C.
I think I died in that accident, ‘cause this must be Heaven

Gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly

Now let's take them hi-ah-igh-igh-igh-ighhhh

A-la-la-la-lah-la-lahhhhh

[Verse 2]
F#m7 Em7
Back when Gucci was the shit to rock
Back when Slick Rick got the shit to pop
F#m7 Bm
I'd do anything to say I got it
Damn, them new loafers hurt my pocket
F#m7 Em7
Before anybody wanted K. West beats
Me and my girl split the buffet at KFC
F#m7 Bm
Dog, I was havin' nervous breakdowns
Like "Man, these niggas that much better than me?"
F#m7 Em7
Baby, I'm goin' on an aeroplane
And I don't know if I'll be back again
F#m7 Bm
Sure enough, I sent the plane tickets
But when she came to kick it, things became different
F#m7 Em7
Any girl I cheated on, sheets I skeeted on
Couldn't keep it at home, thought I needed a Nia Long
F#m7 Bm
I'm tryin' to
N.C.
right my wrongs
But it's funny them same wrongs helped me write this song, now
[Chorus]

Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly

You gon' touch the sky, baby girl, testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
F#m7 Bm
'Fore the day you die, you gon' touch the sky
[Verse 3]
F#m7 Em7
Yes, yes, yes, guess who's on third?
Lupe steal like Lupin the 3rd
F#m7 Bm
Here like ear 'til I'm beer on the curb
Peachfuzz buzz but beard on the verge
F#m7 Em7
Let's slow it down like we're on the syrup
Bottle-shaped body like Mrs. Butterworth
F#m7 Bm
But, before you say another word
I'm back on the block like I'm layin' on the street
F#m7 Em7
I'm tryna stop lyin' like I'm Mumm-Ra
But I'm not lyin' when I'm layin' on the beat, en garde
F#m7 Bm
Or touché, Lupe cool as the unthawed
But I still feel possessed as a gun charge
F#m7 Em7
Come as correct as a porn star
In a fresh pair steps in my best foreign car
F#m7 Bm
So, I represent the first
Now let me end my verse right where the horns are, like uh
[Chorus]
F#m7 Em7
I gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
F#m7 Bm
'Fore the day you die, you gon' touch the sky
F#m7 Em7
You gon' touch the sky, baby girl, testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
F#m7 Bm
'Fore the day you die, you gon' touch the sky

We back at home, baby!
Sky high, I’m, I’m sky high!
F#m7 Bm
I’m, I’m sky high!
I’m, I’m sky high!
F#m7 Em7
I’m, I’m sky high!
I’m, I’m sky high!
F#m7 Bm
Sky, sky high! I’m, I’m sky high!

Uh, feels good to be home, baby!
Feels good to be home!
F#m7 Bm
