[Letra de "Kanye West - Touch the Sky ft. Lupe Fiasco (Traducción al Español)"]
[Estribillo 1: Kanye West]
Tengo que testificar
Sube al lugar buscando un vuelo extra
Antes del día de mi muerte, tocaré el cielo
Tengo que testificar
Sube al lugar buscando un vuelo extra
Antes del día de mi muerte, tocaré el cielo
[Verso 1: Kanye West]
Cuando pensaban que los polos rosas dañarían al Roc
Antes de que la Cam hiciera estallar la mierda
Las puertas estaban cerradas
Me sentí como el equipo de callе de Bad Boy: no podía abrir las cerraduras
Ahora vamos, llévalos de vuеlta al plan
Mi mamá y yo nos subimos a esa camioneta del U-Haul
Cualquier pesimista, no les hablo
Además, no tengo teléfono en mi apartamento
Llevémoslos de vuelta al club
Al menos una hora me quedo en línea
Yo solo queria bailar, fui con el Jacob una hora
Después de que obtuve mi avance, solo quería brillar
La línea favorita de Jay es: "¡Amigo, a su debido tiempo!"
Ahora me mira, como, "¡Maldita sea, amigo! ¡Estás donde estoy!"
Una leyenda del hip-hop
Creo que morí en ese accidente, porque esto debe ser el cielo
[Estribillo: Kanye West]
Tengo que testificar
Sube al lugar buscando un vuelo extra
Antes del día de mi muerte, tocaré el cielo
Tengo que testificar
Sube al lugar buscando un vuelo extra
Antes del día de mi muerte, tocaré el cielo
[Post-Estribillo: Kanye West]
Ahora vamos a tomarlos en lo al-lt-lto-lto-ltoooo
(¡La cima del mundo, nena, la cima del mundo!)
A-la-la-la-lah-la-lahhhhh
(¡En la cima del mundo, nena, en la cima del mundo!)
Ahora vamos a tomarlos en lo al-lt-lto-lto-ltoooo
(¡La cima del mundo, nena, la cima del mundo!)
A-la-la-la-lah-la-lahhhhh
(¡La cima del mundo, nena, la cima del mundo!)
[Verso 2: Kanye West]
Cuando Gucci era una mierda para romper
Cuando Slick Rick hizo explotar la mierda
Haría cualquier cosa para decir que lo tengo
Maldita sea, esos mocasines nuevos me lastiman el bolsillo
Antes que nadie quisiera al creador de temas K. West
Mi chica y yo dividimos el buffet en KFC
Perro, estaba teniendo una crisis nerviosa
Como: "Hombre, ¿estos negro son mucho mejores que yo?"
Cariño, me voy en un avión
Y no se si volveré otra vez
Efectivamente, envié los boletos de avión
Pero cuando vino a patearlo, las cosas se volvieron diferentes
Cualquier chica a la que engañé, sábanas en las que me apresuré
No pude mantenerlo en casa, pensé que necesitaba a un Nia Long
Estoy tratando de corregir mis errores
Pero es gracioso que los mismos errores me ayudaron a escribir esta canción
[Estribillo: Kanye West]
Tengo que testificar
Sube al lugar buscando un vuelo extra
Antes del día de mi muerte, tocaré el cielo
Tengo que testificar
Sube al lugar buscando un vuelo extra
Antes del día de mi muerte, tocaré el cielo
[Verso 3: Lupe Fiasco]
Sí, sí, sí, ¿adivinen quién está en tercer lugar?
Lupe roba como Lupin el tercero
Aquí como la oreja hasta que sea cerveza en la acera
Peachfuzz zumba pero su barba está al borde
Vamos a ralentizarlo como si estuviéramos en el almíbar
Su cuerpo tiene forma de botella como la Sra. Butterworth
Pero, antes de que digas otra palabra
Estoy de vuelta en la cuadra como si estuviera acostado en la calle
Estoy tratando de dejar de mentir como si fuera Mumm-Ra
Pero no estoy mintiendo cuando estoy en el ritmo, en garde
O touché, Lupe fresco como la descongelada
Pero todavía me siento poseído por una carga de arma
Ven tan correcto como una estrella porno
En un nuevo par de pasos en mi mejor auto extranjero
Entonces, represento al primero
Ahora déjame terminar mi verso justo donde están los cuernos, como uh
[Estribillo: Kanye West]
Tengo que testificar
Sube al lugar buscando un vuelo extra
Antes del día de mi muerte, tocaré el cielo
Tengo que testificar
Sube al lugar buscando un vuelo extra
Antes del día de mi muerte, tocaré el cielo
[Outro: Kanye West]
¡Volvemos a casa, cariño!
¡Estoy por las nubes, estoy por las nubes!
¡Estoy, estoy por las nubes!
¡Estoy, estoy por las nubes!
¡Estoy, estoy por las nubes!
¡Estoy, estoy por las nubes!
¡Nubes, por las nubes! ¡Estoy, estoy por las nubes!
¡Sí, sigue rodando!
Sí, ¡se siente bien estar en casa, cariño!
¡Se siente bien estar en casa!

Jag behöver vittna
Kommer till stället ser extra snygg ut
Innan dagen jag dör, ska jag röra himlen
Jag behöver vittna
Kommer till stället ser extra snygg ut
Innan dagen jag dör, ska jag röra himlen
[Vers 1: Kanye West]
Tillbaka till när de tyckte rosa Polos skulle skada Roc
Innan Cam fick skiten att poppa
Dörrarna var stängda
Jag kände som Bad Boy's gatulag: Jag kunde inte arbeta med låsen
Nu kom igen, ta de tillbaka till planen
Jag och min mamma hoppa in i en skåpbil
Alla pessimister, jag pratar inte med dem
Plus jag hade ingen telefon i min lägenhet
Ta tillbaka de till klubben
Minst en timme står jag i kö
Jag ville bara dansa, jag gick tillbaka till Jacob en timme
Efter att jag fick mitt förskott, ville jag bara glänsa
Jay favorit mening: "Bror, tids nog!"
Nu kollar han på mig, "Fan, bror! Du vart jag är!"
En hip-hop legend
Jag tror jag dog i en olycka, för det här måste vara Himlen
[Refräng: Kanye West]
Jag behöver vittna
Kommer till stället ser extra snygg ut
Innan dagen jag dör, ska jag röra himlen
Jag behöver vittna
Kommer till stället ser extra snygg ut
Innan dagen jag dör, ska jag röra himlen
[Stick: Kanye West]
Nu ta dem hö-ö-ö-ö-ö-ögt
(Toppen av världen, baby, toppen toppen av världen!)
A-la-la-la-lah-la-lahhhhh
(Toppen av världen, baby, på toppen av världen!)
Nu ta dem hö-ö-ö-ö-ö-ögt
(Toppen av världen, baby, toppen toppen av världen!)
A-la-la-la-lah-la-lahhhhh
(Toppen av världen, baby, på toppen av världen!)
[Vers 2: Kanye West]
Tillbaka till när Gucci var skiten att bära
Tillbaka till när Slick RIck fick skiten att poppa
Jag gör alltför att säga jag har det
Fan, de nya skorna såra min ficka
Innan någon villa ha K. West beats
Jag och min tjej delar buffen på KFC
Bror, jag hade nervsammanbrott
Typ "Mannen, dessa niggas som mycket bättre än mig?"
Baby, jag är på ett flygplan
Och jag vet inte om jag kommer tillbaka igen
Minsann, jag köpte flygbiljetterna
Men när hon kom med, saker blev annorlunda
Varje tjej jag var otrogen med, lakan jag legat på
Kunde inte hålla det hemma, trodde jag behövde en Nia Long
Jag försöker rätta mina fel
Men det är roligt när samma fel hjälpte mig skriva denna sång
[Refräng: Kanye West]
Jag behöver vittna
Kommer till stället ser extra snygg ut
Innan dagen jag dör, ska jag röra himlen
Jag behöver vittna
Kommer till stället ser extra snygg ut
Innan dagen jag dör, ska jag röra himlen
[Vers 3: Lupe Fiasco]
Ja, ja, ja, gissa vem som är på tredje?
Lupe stjäl som Lupin den tredje
Här tills jag är öl på gatan
Peachfuzz surr men skägg på gränsen
Sakta ner som vi på sirap
Flaskformad kropp som Mrs. Butterworth
Men, innan du säger ett annat ord
Jag är tillbaka i orten som jag ligger på gatan
Jag försöker sluta ljuga som jag är Mumm-Ra
Men jag ljuger inte när jag ligger på beatet, på vakt
Eller träffa, Lupe cool som oupptinat
Men jag känner mig fortfarande besatt som en vapenladdning
Kommer bäst som en porrstjärna
I ett fräscht par kliver i min bästa utländska bil
Så, jag representerar den första
Nu låt mig avsluta min vers vart horna är, uh
[Refräng: Kanye West]
Jag behöver vittna
Kommer till stället ser extra snygg ut
Innan dagen jag dör, ska jag röra himlen
Jag behöver vittna
Kommer till stället ser extra snygg ut
Innan dagen jag dör, ska jag röra himlen
[Outro: Kanye West]
Vi hemma igen, baby!
Skyhög, jag är, jag är skyhög!
Jag är, jag är skyhög!
Jag är, jag är skyhög!
Jag är, jag är skyhög!
Jag är, jag är skyhög!
Sky, skyhög! Jag är, jag är skyhög!
Yeah, håll igång det!
Yeah, uh, känns bra att vara hemma, baby
Känns bra att vara hemma!
