Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Babe, you know it gets no better than this
It's like sunshine on a rainy day
It's like a high, could you take me away?
Take me away, away, it's a beautiful bliss
[Verse 2]
When you feel like this (Oh, beautiful bliss)
When you spill out hits (Oh, beautiful bliss)
When you fly as a **** (Oh, oh)
And you ridin' with tints (Oh)
And you ain't bothered a bit now, baby, ha, ha (Oh, whoa)
[Verse 3]
Fresh out the airport
Fresh out the chair with the clippers
Like Shaun Living, thinkin', hmm
I'm tryin' get out like Shaun get it
If Lord giveth a mil' and a milf light-skinnèd
It's slight blemishes in life's system
But I'm givin' it foundation when I write lyric
That Anvil Neidhart minus bright knickers
Maybe not quite the star, but my heart's in it (Oh, oh, oh)
When Bret Hart meet Brett Favre
A sharpshooter while exceedin' any figure four
You see my figure more or less six or more, I invest
In my larynx and lungs and this voice I project
My project is like what pros inject
And **** so fly, I should be drove in jets
It's ironic they call me a fresh breath
No joke, you see them boys signed me to the 'Scope, right?
[Verse 4]
Babe, you know it gets no better than this
It's like sunshine on a rainy day
It's like a high, could you take me away?
Take me away, away, it's a beautiful bliss
[Verse 5]
When you feel like this (Oh, beautiful bliss)
When you spill out hits (Oh, beautiful bliss)
When you fly as **** (Oh, oh)
And you ridin' with tints (Oh)
And you ain't bothered a bit now, baby (J. Cole)
[Verse 6]
I phone home to the real, they wanna know just how it feel
(Oh, whoa)
Who woulda thought a lil' **** from the 'Ville could get a deal?
And tell them **** at the top, we want your spot, we are for real
And yeah, we heard you got a lot
But like them socks, we on your heels
So you best be on your toes
Especially on your flows
'Cause, man, they keep on checkin' for me
'Specially all your ****
Catch me on your doorstep, you see me, let me in
All I wanna do is eat, I'm like the freaky ****
No, all I wanna do is ball on TV, me, ESPN
[Verse 7]
They heard I'm 'bout to blow, so all my enemies say
Let's be friends
And all these rappers know just where I'm 'bout to go
So catch me then
Where all the girls we knew that scream ******** gon' let me in
I'm definitely in a class of my own, at dinner wit' Hov
Hopin' that he pass the baton, he just pass the Patrón
Ain't nothing given, dawg, it's earned
If you just livin', dawg, you learn
I let you **** see the light, I'm like the prison yard (Oh, oh, whoa)
I yearn for that livin' large, but, Mama, I ain't done yet
Sit back and watch your son rise
Kick back and know your son set
[Verse 8]
Forever, I ain't run yet, and never will
Nas told me life's a ****, Pac said **** the world, and I ain't come yet
You up yet?
My punchlines like gut checks
I'm raw, dawg, I'm rough sex
I'm on deck, I'm up next
I'm God bless, I'm success
So **** stress, you can get the **** from round me
And if you're listenin', know you're wonderin'
Where the **** they found me
I'm from the 'Ville, boy
Hey, Wale, good lookin'
[Verse 9]
Babe, you know it gets no better than this
It's like sunshine on a rainy day (Light that green up, man)
It's like a high, could you take me away? (You know you love this)
Take me away, away (This is my) It's a beautiful bliss (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 10]
When you feel like this, this is my (Oh, beautiful bliss)
When you spill out hits, this is my (Oh, beautiful bliss)
When you fly as **** (Oh, oh)
And you ridin' with tints (Oh)
And you ain't bothered a bit, huh
[Verse 11]
Another day up in my ES (Oh, whoa)
Wish it was an LS, but elastic is my wallet
I don't be stressed, like relaxed muscles
Your feedback ain't plusin', now you can keep it runnin'
Like the muffler when we not in summer
They like A-list actors, they not no stunners
Too much practice now for me to malfunction
So any beat that function, I breathe on and puncture
Leave it like a female v'gina punctuatin'
Showin' you her beauty if she's naked
It's like the view of a painting or a lake head
This just how beautiful my day is
Peep me how I'm raisin' up the capital from nay-thing
Capital I'm raisin' like I'm through punctuatin'
Or shift keys or an I placement 'cause
Shiftin' keys gets your capital raised up
[Verse 12]
Babe, you know it gets no better than this
It's like sunshine on a rainy day
It's like a high, could you take me away?
Take me away (Take it away, I can't sing this) Away
(It's my) It's a beautiful bliss
[Verse 13]
When you feel like this (Oh, beautiful bliss)
When you fly as a **** (Oh, beautiful bliss)
When you fly as **** (Oh, oh)
And you ridin' with tints (Oh)
And you ain't bothered a bit, ha
Yeah (Oh, whoa)
[Verse 14]
(This is my beautiful, uh, this is my beautiful, uh)
(This is my beautiful, uh)
(Attention Deficit, yeah)
(This is my beautiful, uh, this is my beautiful, uh)
(This is my beautiful, uh)
