[02:30.15]It can't get any better, can it huh? (can it huh)
[02:31.97]And I know it's hard to stay humble,
[02:33.81]They really thought I threw a fumble,
[02:35.68]I could of caught that through the trees,
[02:37.42]While runnin' right into the jungle,

[03:07.59]No beef, no hate, no dissin' here,
[03:09.15]You must of been drunk to doubt me,
[03:11.18]You obviously didn't miss a beer,
[03:12.55]I used to argue about everything,

[03:15.94]Realized, that I was wastin' words,
[03:17.69]Like whisperin' in a missin' ear,
[03:19.33]I say it good and real,
[03:21.03]They tellin' me it isn't clear,
