You probably know Amy Schumer as a writer, actress and a comedian, but the _Trainwreck_ star just proved she’s actually a quadruple threat, because she also raps.

Schumer joined rapper Talib Kweli at a Chicago venue Tuesday night for a [joint show](http://www.constellation-chicago.com/event/944375-amy-schumer-talib-kweli-chicago/), where they teamed up to perform Kanye West’s 2004 hit “Get ‘Em High.” The song was originally a collaboration between Kanye West, Talib Kweli and Common, but Schumer totally held her own. She proudly posted a clip of her performance on Instagram Wednesday:

## Transcript

there was this wounded sparrow outside my apartment, and I was like looking for a shelter that's open Sunday. That's old. That's an old picture. It's called Instagram. It was difficult, but also liberating, to write a script that personal for myself. It was a lot of stuff that I was learning at the time. I didn't know about myself, and so it was hard but it was, you know, it's like therapy. Like it's good to figure out what's going on with you. You're clever, but not too brainy or British, and you're not gorgeous. You're approachable. Thank you. I was not looking forward to working with Lebron [ UNKNOWN ] because I just thought they're athletes.

They won't be that funny. And they were the funniest people in [ CROSSTALK ] They were so. Him and John Cena. Yes. Just like effortlessly funny. Funny as People- It's effortlessly hilarious. It wasn't fair. [ SOUND ] Sorry to interrupt. You watching Downton Abbey later? Le Bron, I'm being interviewed. Listen, I'm watching it tonight, cuz I'm not gonna go to practice, and all the guys are talking about it and I'm left out. Working with Jeff was amazing. This was my first movie. I just feel so lucky. I think you **** dialed me. No I dialed you with my fingers. What's she saying, what's she saying.

He called me on purpose. Hang up, he's obviously like sick or something. [ MUSIC ]
