This isn't a Jay-Z song, Lupe had this beat first on his Fahrenheit mixtape back in 2006, Drake flipped it on his Comeback Season mixtape just a year later in 2007, Lupe absolutely ripped this beat though, way better than Drake, his wordplay is absolutely thought provoking.

@jrocEnglishClass i think lupe made the beat, then j.c and drake just rapped on it, oh and j.c.'s version is different with the drums, so im guessing he chopped and screwed it from lupe's failure. Hope this helped

The ups and downs overcame my failure. So I'm much more resourceful then at first thought. Made my own lane blood sweat and tears. Not trying be anything but black and me. Success is my only option failure is not. I'm focused so I'm up before the sun. On the grind cause time waits for no one. You make fast ones be careful no everyone is your friends. It's foul in these streets like a restroom seat. Keep your wealth hidden and your pride strong never forget where you come from. Food for thought now you do the dishes.

@jrocEnglishClass both beats use the same sample. and since the sample makes up like 90 % of both beats they sound the same. lupe added the guitar and a new kick snare pattern. Jcole didnt really add anything just chopped the sample up. the sample in the beggining of Idris Muhammad - Could Heaven Ever Be Like This. if you listen to it you will see what im talking about. they just flipped the same sample slightly different.
