Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
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 (Straight to the bone)
But I always had a rider on my side (Yeah, yeah)
(And it's hurtin' for me now that you're gone)
'Cause every time I pick up the phone
I can hear you sayin' "Keep grindin'
And keep it buried deep in the linin'
Don't ever let them motherfuckers find it
And keep on hustlin', when you start bubblin'
Keep on hustlin', timin'"
Yours came before mine in this line of work
You know tomorrow ain't promised, 'til it's covered with dirt
And I'ma never stop runnin' and uh
You can tell 'em I'm comin', 'cause I'm comin'
Can you tell me what it's like up in paradise?
I wanna know what it's like up in paradise
Do they treat you like a G? Do they recognize?
Do they keep it busta free up in paradise?
It's a safer place for me up in paradise
A shot of vodka, bag of weed, and a better life
It'd make you oh-so happy, paradise
All I needed in this life of sin was me and my girlfriend
But they took her away, I'm never gon' forget that day
(Even more than my state that they put me in)
I lost it all, dawg, my best friend, soulmate, brain and all
I think I wrote a song about it most of all
I can't see past the pain, I cried so much, it left a stain
And I'm findin', it might not get better
Uh-uh, baby girl, my heart won't let it
Underminin', my urge to go get it
Sometimes I say "Forget it" and I stay at home
All alone, I don't want nobody else
I think I'm gon' always be by myself
That's 'til the day I finally shut my eyes
Baby, when I see you again in paradise, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can you tell me what it's like up in paradise?
I wanna know what it's like up in paradise
Do they treat you like a G? Do they recognize?
Do they keep it busta free up in paradise?
It's a safer place for me up in paradise
A shot of vodka, bag of weed, and a better life
It'd make you oh-so happy, paradise
If I don't make it to tomorrow
I guess I'll see you at the crossroads
How could I be so dumb and not know?
The heavenly hope I had is not so
But I understand resurrection now
While I'm alive, all I gotta do is connect with God
And when I die, bring it back and I'll correct my life, I, I try
Hallelujah, y'all, I'm tryna make it to paradise, yeah
Can you tell me what it's like up in paradise?
I wanna know what it's like up in paradise
Do they treat you like a G? Do they recognize?
Do they keep it busta free up in paradise?
It's a safer place for me up in paradise
A shot of vodka, bag of weed, and a better life
It'd make you oh-so happy
Can we get a moment of silence, just for Eric and Lisa?
