[Chorus]
Abm7 C#m7 F#
Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall
Eb7 B E Bbm7 Eb7
For a chance to be with you, I’d gladly risk it all
Abm7 C#m7 F#
Through the fire, through whatever, come what may
Ebm B E Bbm7
For a chance at loving you, I’d take it all the way
Eb7 E F#
Right down to the wire, even through the fire
[Verse 1]
Abm7 C#m7
I drink a Boost for breakfast, an Ensure for dessert
Abm7 C#m7
Somebody ordered pancakes, I just sip the sizzurp
Abm7 C#m7
That right there could drive a sane man berserk
Abm7 C#m7
Not to worry, Mr. H-to-the-Izzo’s back to wizzerk
Abm7 C#m7
How do you console my mom or give her light support
Abm7 C#m7
Tellin’ her her son’s on life support?
Abm7 C#m7
And just imagine how my girl feel
Abm7 C#m7
On the plane scared as hell that her guy look like Emmett Till
Abm7 C#m7
She was with me before the deal, she’d been tryna be mine
Abm7 C#m7
She a Delta, so she’d been throwin’ that Dynasty sign
Abm7 C#m7
No use in me tryna be lyin’, I been tryna be signed
Abm7 C#m7
Tryin’ to be a millionaire, how I used two lifelines
Abm7 C#m7
In the same hospital where Biggie Smalls died
Abm7 C#m7
The doctor said I had blood clots, but I ain’t Jamaican, man
Abm7 C#m7
Story on MTV and I ain’t tryna make a band
F#
I swear, this right here, history in the makin’, man
[Chorus]
Abm7 C#m7 F#
Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall
Eb7 B E Bbm7 Eb7
For a chance to be with you, I’d gladly risk it all
Abm7 C#m7 F#
Through the fire, through whatever, come what may
Ebm B E Bbm7
For a chance at loving you, I’d take it all the way
Eb7 E F#
Right down to the wire, even through the fire
[Verse 2]
Abm7 C#m7
What if somebody from the Chi’ that was ill got a deal
Abm7 C#m7
On the hottest rap label around?
Abm7
But he wasn’t talkin’ ’bout coke and birds
C#m7 Abm7 C#m7
It was more like spoken word, ‘cept he’s really puttin’ it down?
Abm7 C#m7
And he explained the story ’bout how Blacks came from glory
Abm7 C#m7
And what we need to do in the game
Abm7 C#m7
Good dude, bad night, right place, wrong time
Abm7 C#m7
In the blink of a eye, his whole life changed
Abm7
If you could feel how my face felt
C#m7
You would know how Mase felt (Mason Betha!)
Abm7 C#m7
Thank God I ain’t too cool for the safe belt
Abm7 C#m7
I swear to God, driver two wanna sue
Abm7 C#m7
I got a lawyer for the case, to keep what’s in my safe safe
Abm7
My dawgs couldn’t tell if I…
C#m7 Abm7 C#m7
I looked like Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky, it was televised
Abm7 C#m7
There’s been an accident like GEICO
Abm7 C#m7
They thought I was burnt up like Pepsi did Michael
Abm7 C#m7
I must got a angel, ‘cause look how death missed his ass
Abm7 C#m7
Unbreakable, what, you thought they’d call me Mr. Glass?
Abm7 C#m7
Look back on my life like the Ghost of Christmas Past
Abm7 C#m7
Toys “R” Us where I used to spend that Christmas cash
Abm7 C#m7
And I still won’t grow up, I’m a grown-ass kid
Abm7 C#m7
Swear I should be locked up for stupid shit that I did
Abm7 C#m7
But I’m a champion, so I turned tragedy to triumph
F#
Make music that’s fire, spit my soul through the wire
[Chorus]
Abm7 C#m7 F#
Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall
Eb7 B E Bbm7 Eb7
For a chance to be with you, I’d gladly risk it all
Abm7 C#m7 F#
Through the fire, through whatever, come what may
Ebm B E Bbm7
For a chance at loving you, I’d take it all the way
Eb7 E F# E
Right down to the wire, even through the fire
[Outro]
Abm7 C#m7
Abm7 C#m7
Abm7 C#m7
Abm7 C#m7
