Pimpa's Paradise (Featuring Stephen Marley and Black Thought)

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)
