Taylor King - Paradise lyrics

[Prod. By Taylor King] [Verse 1: Vanity] I learn to never question, live and learnin' lessons Forgive me I been leanin' on the need of my aggresion I guess I can't help it It's a gift and a, mmm.. I wouldn't call it curse The other day I seen a homeless holdin' signs of hope Saying “People smile, it could always be worse” And at that very moment, I let go of my stress Tell me how far would you go, how far would you cross to be blessed In a world full of chaos, sayonara to all of you praying change I'm tired seeing struggle cuddle every single corner Tell me Lord are they really the ones to blame? But who am I to judge? Faith that everything happens for a reason? Can I live for love maybe for a season? Or will I become the people's beacon so be it, but can you all forsee it? Pa**ion in my presence, present in perception Pain pays attention but the cost is expensive Live like your last, fight to be first Leader to your peers, swim in their fears Put yourself in their shoes till it all seems clear As a king what's my worth? When it's all said & done, my plan would it work? Forbidden apple, the taste bitter sweet Tell me, life ain't cheap, why you livin' carefree? Forbidden apple, the taste bitter sweet Tell me, life ain't cheap, why you livin' carefree? King [Verse 2: Young Nov] You ain't see me who thought I was Houdini Rappers must have been dreaming Thots must have been sleeping I ain't leaving with no reason every second has a meaning I do what I believe in never do without believing Scripture verses biblical every line original Never needed a costume to feel invincible First things first I'm the last one to ridicule An artist at his prime but a legend In beginning too Underestimated over dedicated Work harder than the man who said that he made it I'm tryna put food down on dinner table Where my mother wouldn't work cause her life stable Crying in the middle of the living room Praying to God for a blessing is it coming soon Heard wise words from a wise man If you have nothing to live for you you better die then 16 left and I haven't even started yet n***as decorated and seasonal like an ornament I ain't with the back and forth talking like an argument If anythings to be settled for I'm not to bargain with Stop stressing start blessing and that's the message I thought I never had anything till I got attention They say they loving me but I never feel the affection Slowly accepting I'm not an exception Well tell me where the exit is Fighting off my demons removing them like an exorcist Searching for the paradise but found where the devil is Am I counting all my blessings or all the sins I did Stand back and witness this isn't entertainment Look B, see? this isn't for cavemen Reaching for the stars far from a spaceman Vision all tinted like a n***a wearing ray bans [Verse 3: Justin Torres] This is everything you all project me to be What you expect me to be, the heart is cold of an angel to be You was not a saint but an angel to me You wore horns but a halo to me, what an angle to see Your love is backwards, evil You used it as a weapon, lethal Heart broken I told myself I don't need this Finally started pickin' up the pieces Meditating in a higher state Smoke to get into a higher place Heart changin' to a higher pace, you coulda saved me Didn't know when you said I love you it meant you hate me Still if you should hit me up, I always listen Thoughts of us gettin' back together I always question These are the thoughts of a man, livin wit regrets and Hope he doesn't take em to the grave damn I used to look into the mirror & I never saw the same man Everybody loves now like my name was Ray fam They be like "Jewlz is a great man" & you don't even feel my pain man I pray to God bout my father & beg to never be the same man This sh** is f**in wit my brain man It's crazy how this sh** is soundin' like it's the same it's the same man That's how I'm feelin' every minute of the f**in' day man I'm stickin' to the game plan Become the greatest, and, enter the matrix land Escapin' wit no escape route Locked in my own mind no way out Am I a God or just a duplicate? Either way I leave a booth in a mess Some things aren't for you to get it I hope that when you forgive me that you forget
