And yes y'all
You now rocking with the best Black Thought from the legendary Roots crew in the flesh
I slid up in here with the brothers from the Marley family
Creston - we gon' say it for y'all
Hey!
She loves to party, have a good time
She looks so hearty, feeling fine
She loves to smoke, sometimes shifting coke
She's laughing when there ain't no joke, hey
(Pimpa's paradise)
That's all she was, now
Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
That's all she was
Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
That's all she was, now
Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
That's all she was
'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
Work the cold nights red district places
She seen more hotels than my tour suitcases
More male customers than Old Navy's
She love limelight more than John Swayze
Seen more miles than a rental Avis
She don't slow down then some day maybe
She lost and she can't find her way to safety
Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
That's all she was, now
Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
That's all she was
Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
That's all she was, now
Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
That's all she was
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 some place to stay
Who ever got a little paper to play can get a slice of this
Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
That's all she was, now
Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
That's all she was
Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
That's all she was, now
Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
That's all she was
For no reason, a seasoned spliff was the first thing
One spring season while she's out flirting
Now she season in and don't need rehearsing
Esteem gets 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 curtain, 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 flo'
Saying, "Life is a thing, when you learn you grow"
Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
That's all she was, now
Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
That's all she was
Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
That's all she was, now
Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
That's all she was
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 so 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
Woah (make it so far, make it so far)
