Paradise 04:46
Early, early morning rise gotta get up can’t snooze / Shake myself off, sleep leave my eyes alone, I take a look around my little town slowly coming together now / It still ain’t much and it’s lacking such and such and such, But it’s my Paradise / Heat is broken again, cold night cold morning, And the water’s dripping this drip-drop won’t stop / Outside I hear sirens screaming, another one bites the dust / And inside these mice keep whispering saying “I man dem nuh trust” / And as I face this ungrateful world I must, Give thanks for this roof above my head might not be much, CHO: But it’s my Paradise, Paradise, It’s my Paradise, Paradise so I man celebrate / Inna my Paradise, It’s my Paradise On the road I push, time to do battle with this traffic / Every morning it’s the same story, when some people gonna learn / Ain’t nothing hard to this thing foot to the pedal and accelerate (Drive yuh car!) / One on the right is the right one no brakes no brakes, Red lights before me now, I’m late Good morning boss – Good morning boss, No answer / Good morning boss – Good morning boss, Little fake smile / Co-worker looking all pleased with himself as if he’s done something right / I have a right hand fi wipe a little piece of him smile / But a Friday so me naah fight / Tick-tock, tick-tock come on five o-clock, little slimmas coming over tonight Keys in the door all kind of movement from within, wah- dis? / Ben and him family scurry them scurry scurrying taking over my Paradise / Planning to overthrow me real soon, But me naah fight / Rpt. Chorus

This one's for my brothers, Wo brothers keep your head up We all have, broken promises faded dreams, disappointment in our lives / Thought by now, you'd have the world at your command, seems like time passed you by / Giving up was never easy until now, Quit was never a word until now / All the years you've worked and sacrificed, ain't enough to pay the price, can't believe you're still at the waiting stage, CHO: Still nothing ever comes before the time, nothing ever works until you try / Forget your fears and lay it on the line, cause it's never gonna work until you try Had dreams of being a doctor, Wall Street's most powerful lawyer, anything but a struggling man / But lack in resource made your priorities change, and basic survival, becomes the game / You've carried your burdens for so long, you'll wanna lay them down and just move on / Pocket's broke but life remains, bear your pain and take the shame, caught up in the traffic, but the lights must change / Back to Chorus, then Rpt. 1st vrs.

Turn on the radio, turn on the TV, looting and shooting heating up the streets / In the movies and on the internet, love is what you want but war is what you get / I can’t believe the reality sometimes, that there’s no place to feel secure anymore / But when you really stop and think about it, what’s the use of worrying / We can’t do anything about it, let tomorrow bring what it’s gonna bring CHO: So get up wake up take it on another level / Wake up shake up live life like a rebel / Don’t let the sun pass you by, go on and live some life / Tell the world you’re doing fine, not gonna lose your mind even though you see the sign of the times / Me say a likkle bit of fun affi run / Get out and live some life Sit down and think about it, you’ve only got one life to live / And if today’s your last day the world should say that you did it positive Bridge: There will be storms, a lifetime of pain, press through the rain / Cause when it’s over, you lived, lived yeah To Cho x 2
