(Intro)
Yeah, yeah, uh, Kanye
Skyline Dreams
(Verse 1)
I gotta hustle hard, you know the grind don’t stop
Came from the bottom, now we risin’ to the top
Remember late nights, we was dreamin’ in the dark
Now the skyline glimmer, yeah, you see the spark
Trying to find my place, like a missing puzzle piece
From the Chi-town streets, to the world at peace
Had my share of doubters, said I’d never make it clear
But I’m here, got the vision, let ‘em see, let ‘em hear
(Chorus)
Gotta rise up, touch the sky
'Fore the clock runs out, I’m gonna fly
Living my truth, won't let it die
In this moment right now, I testify
(Verse 2)
Back when nobody knew my name, just a kid on the block
Plotting on my dreams, now I’m breaking all the clocks
Every setback, I flip it like a acrobat
Like a phoenix from the ashes, I’m never turning back
Through the storms and the rain, I learned to find my lane
Fame ain't a game, it’s the growth, it’s the pain
And when they throw shade, I let the sun shine through
'Cause I was born to stand out, I’m just being true
(Chorus)
Gotta rise up, touch the sky
'Fore the clock runs out, I’m gonna fly
Living my truth, won't let it die
In this moment right now, I testify
(Bridge)
Nowhere to go but up, feeling elevated
All my dreams in view, I’m so motivated
A vision in my heart, I hold it like a flame
Every move I make, I’m redefining fame
(Verse 3)
From the late-night grind to morning light
Every lyric, every beat, yeah, I’m living my fight
So gather ‘round people, let me share this truth
With passion in my soul, I’m igniting the youth
(Chorus)
Gotta rise up, touch the sky
'Fore the clock runs out, I’m gonna fly
Living my truth, won't let it die
In this moment right now, I testify
(Outro)
Yeah, skyline dreams, we’re reaching high
Kanye, baby, let your spirit fly
With every heartbeat, let your worries lay low
In the heartbeat of the city, watch our legacy grow
Yeah, uh, skyline dreams.

Song inspired by
I gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day I die, I'ma touch the sky
Gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day I die, I'ma touch the sky
Back when they thought pink Polos would hurt the Roc
Before Cam got the shit to pop
The doors was closed, I felt like Bad Boy's street team
I couldn't work the locks
Now let's go, take 'em back to the plan
Me and my mama hopped in that U-Haul van
Any pessimists, I ain't talk to them
Plus I ain't have no phone in my apart-a-ment
Let's take 'em back to the club
Least about an hour I stand on line
I just wanted to dance, I went to Jacob an hour
After I got my advance, I just wanted to shine
Jay favorite line, "Dawg, in due time"
Now he look at me, like, "Damn, dawg! You where I am"
A hip-hop legend
I think I died in that accident, 'cause this must be heaven
I gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day I die, I'ma touch the sky
Gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day I die, I'ma touch the sky
Now let's take 'em high (top of the world, baby)
(Top, top of the world)
A-la-la-la-la-la (top of the world, baby)
(Top, top of the world)
Now let's take 'em high (top of the world, baby)
(Top, top of the world)
A-la-la-la-la-la (top of the world, baby)
(Top, top of the world)
Back when Gucci was the shit to rock
Back when Slick Rick got the shit to pop
I'd do anything to say I got it
Damn, them new loafers hurt my pocket
Before anybody wanted K. West beats
Me and my girl split the buffet at KFC
Dog, I was having nervous breakdowns
Like "Man, these niggas that much better than me?"
Baby, I'm going on an airplane
And I don't know if I'll be back again
Sure enough, I sent the plane tickets
But when she came to kick it, things became different
Any girl I cheated on, sheets I skeeted on
Couldn't keep it at home, thought I needed a Nia Long
I'm tryna right my wrongs
But it's funny them same wrongs helped me write this song, now
I gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day you die, you gon' touch the sky
You gon' touch the sky, baby girl, testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day you die, you gon' touch the sky
Yes, yes, yes, guess who's on third?
Lupe steal like Lupin the 3rd
Here like ear 'til I'm beer on the curb
Peachfuzz buzz but beard on the verge
Let's slow it down like we're on the syrup
Bottle shaped body like Mrs. Butterworth
But, before you say another word
I'm back on the block like I'm laying on the street
I'm tryna stop lyin' like I'm Mumm-Ra
But I'm not lyin' when I'm laying on the beat
En garde, or touche, Lupe cool as the unthawed
But I still feel possessed as a gun charge
Come as correct as a porn star
In a fresh pair steps in my best foreign car
So, I represent the first
Now let me end my verse right where the horns are like, uh
I gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day you die, you gon' touch the sky
You gon' touch the sky, baby girl, testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day you die (yeah), you gon' touch the sky
We back at home, baby
Uh, sky high (yeah)
I'm, I'm sky high
I'm, I'm sky high
I'm, I'm sky high
I'm, I'm sky high
I'm, I'm sky high
Sky, uh, sky high
I'm, I'm sky high
Yeah, keep it rollin'
Yeah, uh, feels good to be home, baby
Feels good to be home
