How can you play one song(words only) and mix it with the beat of another song?
Here's what I mean. I was listening to a dj mix, and they had the beat of "best i ever had" by Drake and they combined they used the words from "gangsta nation" by Ice Cube. I want to know how to do that and if there's a dj program on the web that i can download that will allow me to do this. I find this simply amazing and want to learn how to do this. Please, can somebody tell me how to do this and what program to do it on? Please and Thank You! =)

It is really hard to do that, because iTunes songs wont let you do that cuz they are protected by copyright, and mp3 files aren't high enough quality and will sound very distorted. Registered DJs have licenses to mix, so they get the music straight from the record label company, and they also have access to top quality equipment and sound boards, therefore are able to do lots more.
With a basic computer music program, it will be really hard (esp if its downloaded online and not purchased). However you can crop commercial music, add instrumental effects to songs, combine parts from different songs, and create some interesting mixes, but likely wont be able to easily extract parts from commercial music.
I would recommend using something like Music Maker and creating your own tunes, beats, rhythms, and synths, then applying them to songs. If you are truly fascinated with DJ-ing, work at it, play around with some programs and get to know things well, you may be able to become a registered DJ and get yourself studio time where the sky is the limit.

The DJ will have an instrumental or cut - up copy of the first tune and an acapella of the second. It's possible to lay one on top of the other with any number of programmes. Cool Edit and Fruity Loops are all very cheap to buy (and pretty much freely available in certain places on the net).
The DJ has probably cut out an instrumental section of the first tune and looped it. With acapella lyrics, you can just put them straight on top. You can adjust the tempo of each tune so they match. However, it's not possible to 'extract' vocals from a tune without very expensive equipment (if at all). You would need to have the vocals by themselves - you can't cut out the rest of the tune completely.
Alternatively, he could have two records. One which is the lyrics, and one which is the beat from the other tune. It's very easy to mash them together that way if you know what you're doing.
