Paradise
[Verse 1: Bukshot]
Out here making money these other rappers sour
To me it’s kinda funny to watch the shift in power
Started at the bottom hit the ground running
Never look back (back) but I’m the one they gunning (they gunning)
To see a boss feeling threatened by a hustler
My gut said I’m doing something right I musta
Ruffled feathers on the big birds
Watch 'em slip and lose they grip I know that shit hurt (uh)
I ain’t tripping cause my kids gotta eat first
Ain't slowing down, I'm swinging harder on each verse
A real story of David and Goliath where the underdog comes and sets his enemies on fire (on fire)
I’ve been stabbed in the back so long
I’m just immune to the shit and bounce back writing songs
Pledge allegiance to the mob all in
Disrespect that watch me turn into a goblin (goblin)
[Chorus: Ipcus Pinecone]
Been spending most our lives living in a gangsters paradise (paradise)
Been spending most our lives living in a gangsters paradise (paradise)
Keep spending most our lives living in a gangsters paradise (paradise)
Keep spending most our lives living in a gangsters paradise (paradise)
[Verse 2: Boondox]
As you walk through the shadow see the fear in your breath
I hear yo heart beating faster now you’re fearing your death
When the reaper's on the scene and they claiming dope fiends
Watching wannabe killers hit they knees when the ghosts scream
A full clip won’t save you from the flames when the devil pulls the trigger
Six shots to your brain six shots to your chest six shots get the picture
Number six six six like it’s written in the scripture (scripture)
Yeah Pac said there was a heaven for a G
But heaven ain’t agree so hell is all I see
No wings for a demon no crown for a heathen
Trading halos for a heater trading blood for the bleeding (for the bleeding)
Now you’re fiending pleading screaming for some sympathy
Here put the barrel to your temple end the misery
Dust turn to dust when they lower down the casket
Eyes sewn shut with a mouth full of ashes (ashes)
[Chorus: Ipcus Pinecone]
Been spending most our lives living in a gangsters paradise (paradise)
Been spending most our lives living in a gangsters paradise (paradise)
Keep spending most our lives living in a gangsters paradise (paradise)
Keep spending most our lives living in a gangsters paradise (paradise)
[Outro: Ipcus Pinecone]
Tell me why are we so blind to see?
That the ones we hurt are you and me?
