    Lyrics:
    Cuz no one does it better...
    I said do it, do it, cuz no one does it better...
    [Lupe: talking in background]
    What down Charlie? How you doin'? Good, hey what up Joe? I'm just chillin', know what I'm sayin'? Chillin', ain't nothing, yo...
    [Lupe: talking]
    I said nah man, there's people out there better than me. I just do what I do, you know what I'm sayin'? Yeah, aight...
    Uh, I can't feel a field nigga pain
    devious skill that make a strong will nigga wane
    since a lil nigga hang
    with the killers and distributors of cane
    they dismemberers of swishas then refill it with the jane
    then they tilt it and they lit with a flame
    then they took a pull of killer to the brain like (inhale noise) ah
    evil minded like Crane/Krang
    they became they deranged like the rover that I rolled
    that was the waynes that I drove when I was a little bit older
    mayne declaring war on the deck like they the joker
    all wild ducking from Bruce Wayne while they poker
    with the devil and our moonlitten ghetto
    hello my name stickers on the stickers of the veins in rehab
    remembering the feelings when they used to get mellow
    when they was all back of a nickel like Monatello
    in the underworld had to be smarter than Donatello
    no honour amongst fellows
    it's harder than sittin' with a blind man and tryin' to describe yellow
    got me feelin' like killer Joe
    my life the album
    know the classics by heart and exactly how the filler go
    repeat it on my way to the liquor store, Charlie
    [Lupe: talking in background]
    What's up? What down, what down? You know, how are you (...) what you in for? (...) stupid niggas...
    [Lupe: talking]
    You know I'm sayin', it's why I do what I do. I be aight, we all be aight. We just gotta learn how to stay in our lane and do what we know how to do. You know...
    Cuz I can't feel a field nigga chains
    though I covet mine, so I covered mine in bling
    then I bumped into a bum and covered mine in shame
    then I bumped into a hun and uncovered mine again (uh)
    diamonds done under minded mayne, they give a nigga with no mac another kinda game
    see money talks in another kinda slang
    detectives can't decipher as they listen through the wire
    as I accept the call and listen to the life of
    gettin' religion and making wudu in the sink of your cell
    reciting al-faatihah in the kitchen
    indeed on his dean and in addition to doing dishes
    listen as I get schooled to the rules to rule
    the fuel of fools, the obstacles, the cool
    had to slow it down homey
    chopped and screwed
    he said blow it down for me
    sticks and stones make the homes
    only God's words can stop the wolves
    and don't fraternise with pigs them kids will think your stool
    not at the bar, but tryin' to put him behind the bar like a bartender
    he laid the law like the bar so I put it in a bar for dude
    he said borrow my jewels and bar the fools
    cuz they a play ya like the space bar and twos
    theme music to a drive-by, put it in your car and cruise

    -then thinking, wait might be j cole, (going through your whole Itunes)
    -Finallly!! Beautiful bliss from Wale and J cole. haha Makes me so frustrated when something like this happens but sooo happy when i actually find the song!!!
