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 ^!$$% pain
devious skill that make a strong will ^!$$% wane
since a lil ^!$$% 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 ^!$$%s...


[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 ^!$$% 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 ^!$$% 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
