Paradise

[Hook]
I think the world's a lot bigger than I realised
You could spend your whole life trying to change it
And never make a difference
And paradise ain't nothing like real life
Everybody's just trying to make it
Won't let them see my downfall
Yeah, everybody's out for themselves

[Verse 1]
It's way too late, or too early, what's the difference?
I'm running low on cigarettes and I ain't been to bed
It must be like 6PM, why did I do this shit again?
All the way from humble beginnings to the bitter end
But if I do win, I hope there's someone there to clap for me
I brought myself up, there's nobody to thank for it
I'm not here to tell the same sad story, that's boring
I just came to tell you fuckers that you're on your last warning
So who want it? Do something
I could make a shit beat cold when I slay it, like it's Cool Runnings
Fuck you and your harebrained schemes
I'll take your crown in broad daylight, no mask, that's bare-faced cheek

[Hook]
I think the world's a lot bigger than I realised
You could spend your whole life trying to change it
And never make a difference
And paradise ain't nothing like real life
Everybody's just trying to make it
Won't let them see my downfall
Yeah, everybody's out for themselves

[Verse 2]
Life lessons giving me direction
Shining the light when I don't know where I'm heading
I could blow in five seconds, be an overnight legend
Or a broken tired old retired open mic veteran
To war with Jake's like swimming the ocean with a ball and chain
Everybody knows you fuck like you're doing the walk of shame
The hall of fame leads to a room full of pictures of me
No one's on my level, yeah, I'm in a different league
I put the work in, brain thinking quicker than my hand can write
All the nights I've spent working and the time I sacrificed
I never doubted it, I knew I had the coldest flow
I was waiting for the day that I can say 'I told you so'

[Hook]
I think the world's a lot bigger than I realised
You could spend your whole life trying to change it
And never make a difference
And paradise ain't nothing like real life
Everybody's just trying to make it
Won't let them see my downfall
Yeah, everybody's out for themselves
