Paradise

I grew up in the middle of a war zone
in a place where all reasoning was long gone
california dreamin was nightmares
and it shook a nigga straight to the bone
but i always had a rider on my side
and it's hurtin homie now that ya gone
cuz everytime i pick up the phone
i can hear you sayin keep grindin
and keep it very deep in the lining
don't ever let them mother fu©kers find it
and keep on hustlin when you start bubblin
keep on hustlin time in
yours came before mine in this line of work
you know tomorrow aint promised till im covered with dirt
and ima never stop runnin
and you can tell em im comin
cause im comin

[chorus]
can you tell me what its like up in paradise
i wanna know what its like up in paradise
do they treat you like a g do they recognize
do they keep it busta free up in paradise
did you save a palce for me up in paradise
shot of vodka bag of weed and a better life
dont it make you oh so happy?
paradise

all i needed in this life of sin
was me and my girlfriend
but they took her away
im never gon forget that day
the morbid mindstate that it put me in
i lost it all dogg
my best friend, soulmate, brain and all
i think i wrote a song about it most of all
i cant see past the pain
i cried so much it left a stain
and im findin
it might not get better
uh uhn, baby girl my heart wont let it
undermindin, my urge to go get her
sometimes i say forget it
and i stay at home
im alone
i dont want nobody else
i think im gon always be by myself
that's till the day, i finally shut my eyes
baby when i see you again in paradise

[chorus]

can we get a moment of silence
just for eric and lisa
tupac and aaliyah
eww how we miss chris and jam master j
rick and roger, luther v, big pun and soulja
freekey tah, proof we hold ya
deep in our hearts we never let you go no
this is for my grand daddy
if you miss them then you know what im sayin
then say it
