Paradise

{Intro}
Yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah

[Verse 1]
1 AM, sitting on the roof of the house
Chilling with my head up in the clouds
Go ahead ask me why I'm up here
Why I'm up here? I had enough here. I
Can't seem to find my wings now. I
Never did fit the part now. Why
Criminals never learn how to fly? (Oh Lord)
Feelin' like the bottom of the barrel
Look me in the eye, can't tell me what it is
Yeah, I'm still young, she ain't calling me a kid
'cuz she know what I done killed innocence, innocence
I'd be so gone, sitting in the dark knowing where the light is
The advice is: Don't dwell on the past and nothing will last because the world finna end in a bang in a flash; and I swear
Feel like the worst of 'em (aww) and I ain't been livin' that long
How much wrong could a man do
'fore they give up on you or maybe it depend on whatever ya do
I'm tryna find new life
[God] said He'd give it to me if I asked
Say ion't do easy, I just went and spit in His face and you saying you wouldn't be mad?

{Chorus}
I'm leaning on my faith now
How come you never hurt me?
I don't know what to say now (yeah)
I don't deserve the mercy
And yet you give me paradise
And yes you give me paradise
And yet you give me paradise
And yes you give me paradise
And yes you give me...

[Verse 2]
Everything that I've done
Everything that I'm gon' do
Just can't seem to let go
Even though you told me to
My heart; hard as the pavement
Black as the tar that they pave with (Uh)
Forreal I'm a dog facing the dirt I was made with (Uh)
My shoulders weak, can't even carry my own weight (Uh)
I'm choking the apple that's stuck in my pipes I just ate
It don't seem real, the fact that you feel, while I mess around with these sssnakes
Giving me paradise and I'm paralyzed, like which one that Imma take
God reconnaissance, this don't require no politics
This here is all the world, remember my life, I'm looking at fatherless
I'm lookin' at all of my pain, my grief, my struggles, the reason I fight
The weight of my heart isn't close enough to compare to this paradise

{Chorus}
I'm leaning on my faith now
How come you never hurt me?
I don't know what to say now (yeah)
I don't deserve the mercy
And yet you give me paradise
And yes you give me paradise
And yet you give me paradise
And yes you give me paradise
And yes you give me...

[Outro]
I see you now
I see you now
I see you now, yeah, yeah, yeah
I see you now
I see you now
I see you now, yeah, yeah, yeah
