[Verse 1]
         Am
I drink a  Boost for breakfast,
   Dm
an Ensure for dessert
    Am
Somebody ordered pancakes,
  Dm
I just sip the sizzurp
Am                             Dm
That right there could drive a sane man berserk
    Am
Not to worry, Mr.
      Dm
HtotheIzzo's back to wizzerk
    Am                       Dm
How do you console my mom or give her light support
Am                   Dm
Tellin' her son's on life support?
          Am                     Dm
And just imagine how my girl feel
                       Am                          Dm
On the plane scared as hell that her guy look like Emmett
Till
             Am
She was with me before the deal,
           Dm
she'd been tryna be mine
      Am
She a Delta,
                            Dm
so she'd been throwin' that Dynasty sign
          Am
No use me tryna be lyin',
       Dm
I been tryna be signed
          Am
Tryin' to be a millionaire,
           Dm
how I used two lifelines
           Am                  Dm
In the same  hospital where Biggie Smalls died
           Am                      Dm
The doctor said I had blood clots, but I ain't Jamaican,
man
Em7      Am Dm7  Em7           C/F
Story on MTV and I_ain't tryna make a band
  F/G

[Chorus]
            C/A             Dm
Through the fire, to the limit,

  For the chance to be      with you
    Fmaj7          Bm E

[Verse 2]
            Am                             Dm
What if somebody from the Chi' that was ill  got a deal
       Am                       Dm
On the hottest rap label around?
                      Am
But he wasn't talkin' 'bout coke and birds
                 Dm
It was more like spoken word,
Am                                Dm
'cept he's really puttin' it down?
         Am                          Dm
And he explained the story 'bout how Blacks came from glory
    Am                            Dm
And what we need to do in the game
               Am
Good dude, bad night, right place,
      Dm
wrong time
                  Am
In the blink of a eye,
                      Dm
his whole life changed
             Am                   Dm
If you could feel how my face felt
You would know how Mase felt
Am                      Dm
  Thank God I ain't too cool for the safe belt
Am                       Dm
  I swear to God, driver two wanna sue
        Am
I got a lawyer for the case,
               Dm
to keep what's in my safe safe
   Am                         Dm
My dawgs couldn't tell if I…
                  Am
I looked like Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky,
Dm
  it was televised
        Am                       Dm
There's been an accident like GEICO
                         Am                    Dm
They thought I was burnt up like Pepsi did Michael
                Am
I must got a angel,
                        Dm
‘cause look how death missed his ass
       Am                                     Dm
Unbreakable, what, you thought they'd call me Mr.
Glass?
          Am                           Dm
Look back on my life like the Ghost of Christmas Past
         Am                            Dm
Toys "R" Us where I used to spend that Christmas cash
      Am
And I still won't grow up,
      Dm
I'm a grownass kid
      Am                               Dm
Swear I should be locked up for stupid shit that I did
          Em7
But I'm a champion,
Am     Dm7       Em7     C/F
  so I turned tragedy to triumph
     F/G
Make music that's fire,
spit my soul through the wire

[Chorus]
            C/A             Dm
Through the fire, to the limit,
to the wall
G Am/E                Cadd11
  For the chance to be      with you
    Fmaj7          Bm E
I'd gladly risk it all
            C/A                Dm
Through the fire Through whatev
er, come what may
G                   Cadd11
 For a chance at loving you
    Fmaj7           Bm
I'd take it all the way
E
Right down to the wire
Fmaj7 Gsus4
      Even through the fire

[Fade-Out]
Am          Dm
  to the limit,
                Am        Dm
Through the fire  to whateever
                 Am          Dm
Through the fire,  to the limit,
                Am        Dm
Through the fire  to whateever Through the fire
