Pimpa's Paradise - Damian Marley
[Black Thought Speaking] 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 [Stephen Marley] 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 [Chorus: Stephen Marley] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus Repeats] [Black Thought] 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... [Chorus Repeats] [Verse 2] 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." [Chorus Repeats] [Verse 3] 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
