M.I. - Paradise lyrics

[Verse 1] I was 14 when them thoughts came Dreaming about this game And my girl believed in it too She the one that mean the most to me, fame Ain't the reason I feel the need to explain I don't even need a reason I claimed All I really needed was beat and a sheet and a pen, I'ma be okay (hey) Back then it wasn't bout sh** Except this Hip Hop, now it switched I did it for the fact that I could've put her in a pad Ain't no looking back, I'ma put it pa** Get back to the past, yeah the time when I had a better grasp You better believe I'm getting back Forgetting the reason I'm attached But it ain't for Christina She's just a girl [Hook] (No No No) This could be paradise and maybe she's just a girl (No No No) [Verse 2] So they show us this so-called Paradise Open us up to an unfair fight In a world full of Parasites And the people in the middle all terrified Cause we living with a vision unverified They put it on television and prepare the vices Compared to the price that we paying for the liquor and the pipes And the packs of the smokes and we sinning every night Its really kind've bigger than we know f** that, put a stripper on a pole Put a 20 by her feet, tell her give a little soul And again she sold out She hit em' with a show And she really only do it for the doh Or so it goes, I'm seeing thru it She don't know Got her living in the middle of a city po' Known for the dreams that end up on the flo' So I'm living in a moment So here's a token of apology cause I've broken These promises to my momma this that time to get to my goal and fix my focus I get the win when I play the coldest I use to really think what I needed was a co-sign to get her to notice I'm beginning to know she's just a girl
