And yes, y'all, you now rockin' with the best
Black Thought from the legendary Roots crew in the flesh
I slid up in here with the brothers from the Marley family
Crestin, we 'gon set for y'allHey, she loves to party, have a good time
She looks so hearty, feeling fine
She loves to smoke, sometimes coke
She's laughing when there ain't no joke, heyPimpa'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, yeah
Pimpa's paradise, that's all she was'Cause coke was a thing that once she first tried
Was once a blue moon to once a blue sky
And now she's wonderin' who else wants to go by
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 a saucy perilier
Used to look good in the videos, now she look hideousNow it's broken crack pipes with lipstick traces
Work the cold nights red district places
She seen more hotels then my tour suitcases
Or male customers than Old NavyShe love limelight more than John Swayze
Seen more miles than I rent an AV
She don't slow down then some day maybe
She lost then she can't find her way to safetyPimpa's paradise, that's all she was now, yeah
Pimpa's paradise, that's all she was
Pimpa's paradise, that's all she was, now, yeah
Pimpa's paradise, that's all she was
Check it out, she keep her head up in space like a satellite
Because she got a insatiable appetite
For stayin' out late night with all the parasites
Plottin' on the way to cop a little piece of paradiseHer dignity, the only thing that she could sacrifice
Just get the monkey off her back and she be back in like
Five minutes, she stay on the move
She looked smoked up and stoned at the buildin' refusedAll coked up, alone she ain't even in tuned
And it's sad, 'cause she ain't really have a reason to use
She was a pretty girl, cleaner than the board of health
Studied than enjoyed herself
I don't know what drove her to avoid herselfDestroyed herself and took a taste of the yay
And now she on the track workin' while she wastin' away
It's safe to say, she lookin' for some place to stay
Whoever got a lil' paper to play could get a slice of thisPimpa's paradise, that's all she was now, yeah
Pimpa's paradise, that's all she was
Pimpa's paradise, that's all she was, now, yeah
Pimpa's paradise, that's all she wasFor no reason a seasoned spliff was the first thing
One spring season while she's out flirtin'
Now she season me and don't need rehearsin'
And seen get a beaten life is uncertainedEgo need feedin' now no one's mercy
Beneath the demons she's a one person
When she's not fiendin', swearin' and cursin'
Behind the curtain she's really hurtin'And while her people don't even trust her at home
The dealer that bring and cook the rocks down
And she without sinnin' will spot the first stone
The feelin' kicks in, she's in the dark zoneOld friends walk pass goin' 'bout there own
As if she is someone that they don't know
Then the King of kings lift her off the flo'
Sayin' life is a thing when you learn you growPimpa's paradise, that's all she was now, yeah
Pimpa's paradise, that's all she was
Pimpa's paradise, that's all she was, now, yeah
Pimpa's paradise, that's all she wasShe rise and she fall like a star
Her life rides off like a car
Her face full of all kind of scar
Always with fist start a warShe can't keep herself up to par
She plays like a broken guitar
She always want take it too far
Although she ain't go make it too farShe rise and fall like a star
Her life rides off like a car
Her face full of all kind of scar
Always with fist start a warShe can't keep herself up to par
She plays like a broken guitar
She always want take it too far
Mi wonder if she make it so far
