Paradise Lyrics - Stephen Marley

And yes y'all, you now rocking with the best 

Black Thought from the legendary Roots crew in the flesh 

I split up in here with the brothers from the Marley family 

Creston--we gon' say it for y'all 

She loves to party, have a good time 

She looks so hearty, feeling fine 

She loves to smoke, sometimes shifting coke 

Hey, she'd be laughing when there ain't no joke 

Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now 

Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was 

Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now 

Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was 

Cause coke was a thing that once she first try 

Was once a blue moon to once a blue sky 

Now she's wondering who else wants to go buy 

She don't got no money and wants to get high 

Story sounds familiar, 

Like born to be wild but she sillier 

Not quite the same, but she similar 

A waste of my sarsaparilla 

Used to look good in the videos, now she look hideous 

Now it's broken crack pipes with lipstick traces 

Walks the cold nights red district places 

She seen more hotels than my tour suitcases 

More male customers than Old Navy's 

She love lime light more than John Swaby's 

Seen more miles than a Rent-A-Avis 

She don't slow down then someday maybe 

She lost and can't find her way to safety 

Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now 

Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was 

Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now 

Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was 

Check it out 

She keep her head up in the space like a satellite 

Because she got an insatiable appetite 

For staying out late nights with all the parasites 

Plotting on a way to cop a little piece of paradise 

Her dignity the only thing that she could sacrifice 

Just get the monkey off her back and she'd be back in line 

Five minutes she stay on the move, 

She'd done smoked up the stone that the builder refused 

All coked up alone, she ain't even in tune 

And it's sad cause she ain't really have a reason to use 

She was pretty girl 

Cleaner than the Board of Health 

Studied and enjoyed herself, I don't know what drove her to avoid herself 

Destroyed herself and took a taste of the yay' 

And now she on the track, working while she wasting away 

It's safe to say, she looking for a someplace to stay 

Who ever got a little paper to play 

Can get a slice of this 

Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now 

Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was 

Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now 

Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was 

For no reason a seasoned splif was the first thing 

One spring season while she's out flirting 

Now she season in and don't need rehearsing 

Esteem get a beating, life is uncertain 

Ego need feeding, now the wants worsen 

Beneath the demons she's a warm person 

When she's not fiending, swearing and cursing 

Behind the curtains, she's really hurting 

And while her people don't even trust her at home 

The dealer dem grin and cook the rocks down 

And she without sin will spark the first stone 

The feeling kicks in she's in the dark zone 

Old friends walk pass going 'bout their own 

As if she is someone that they don't know 

Then the King of Kings lift her off the floor 

Saying, "Life is a thing when you learn you grow." 

Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now 

Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was 

Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now 

Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was 

She rise and she fall like a star 

Her life write off like a car 

Her face full of all kinda scar 

Always quick fi start a war 

She can't keep herself up to par 

She plays like a broken guitar 

She always want tek it too far 

I doubt she a-go mek it too far 

She rise and she fall like a star 

Her life write off like a car 

Her face full of all kinda scar 

Always quick fi start a war 

She can't keep herself up to par 

She plays like a broken guitar 

She always want tek it too far 

Mi wonder how she mek it so far
