Yo...on the amen, corner I stood lookin' at my former hood </br>Felt the spirit in the wind, knew my friend was gone for good </br>Threw dirt on the casket, the hurt, I couldn't mask it </br>Mixin down emotions, struggle I hadn't mastered </br>I choreographed seven steps to heaven </br>and hell, waiting to exhale and make the bread leavened </br>Veteran of a cold war its Chica-i-go for </br>What I know or, whats known
I went to the movies — it was Kanye, myself and John Mayer, and we went to see "Ray." We were watching it, and I was just inspired by the movie, just as a musician and as an artist, I felt inspired. We left there and went straight to the studio. Kanye started cooking up this beat and started doing this chant, like, "Go, go, go," and while we were sitting there thinking what to write, John Mayer said, "You could write about your fantasy." And I was like, "Am I going to let John Mayer come up with the concept for this joint? This is hip-hop." But John Mayer is a very talented brother and you don't know where your blessings are going to come from. He was singing, and we made him a sample on it, going 'Go.' So it all came together and now we have the song 'Go!,' which is about going to my fantasy.
