Eddie Haskill - Paradise lyrics
Your rating:
I don't give two fucks if you like me or not Take your criticisms and put em in a pipe with a rock And smoke it up is the fucking record broken or what Saying its time to quit and my rhyming is shit Thinking I'm in the rough but I just tee'd off I'll make the putt in two strokes and I supposed to be soft And if you got beats you better lend em for free Cause I never paid for beats actually you would be paying me If the tables were turned and ratios reversed You'd be paying my punk ass around $100 a verse And I'm not trying to day that you don't deserve the money But I'm really trying to sit down and work with somebody Split the bills split the profit and try to split the fame It was me and the mic wasn't ready for that other shit that came As a byproduct of spitting emotional feelings That's why I got a few good men to handle promotional dealing And if I did quit my tail would be sticking straight up I'm purebred, in between the legs is for mutts Nine months, shit this baby took a year and a half Provoking thought now mixed in with tears and a laugh Wear my pride like a bade even over a coat when colder My grandpa had a stroke my dad grabbed his mom to hold her I told her with a crooked face that things would be alright (SE) It was a lie and my grandfather died that night [Chorus] I just want to go somewhere where the air is nice Till I'm in Paradise sipping a parrot ice rolling a pair of dice Discussing topics with hot chick in the tropics Where top stock picks are sure to line my pockets nice "Don't grab the sunscreen just yet" The two towers fell, fulfilling glorified dreams We got two towers now, but it's Lord of the Rings So you better get prepared for whatever the torturer brings Cause you can no longer hide behind a liberty torch that's green And Circuit City wanted me to send a saluting CD to the Army I told'em to get their asses home and barricade around me Cause that's the only way I'm feeling safe today And even that's a lie because the bomb we dropped melted faces away I just want to find a decent place to stay Where I can say my goodbyes without choking up like Macy Gray What if it happened here? Shit they took over our planes What do we have to fear? Yo, they even took our names I hope them bastards rot, this life's just one big acid drop Put on a sheet and spread equally throughout the community (SE) Pray to God to be granted immunity with my rhymes Cause what I say can be construed and viewed as a crime When its neutering time stand in line to gets your nuts chopped I'll step out of line and catch buckshot in my fuckspot Like Zed from Pulp Fiction but its Ed with his cult vision Where government was fair and politicians would listen I'm a Christian catholic, but don't know the words to a church song But when Big Poppa comes on I'm the first one to sing along (SE) And that's fucked up aint it, living my life in containment Recluse through my youth, pretty picture could never paint it [Chorus] And here's the problem, I just can't get away When I try, there's a force that pulls me back and tells me where to stay (SE) And I feeling fucked up today I haven't felt Hip Hop Hooray since "19 Naughty 3" And that's the shade under a decade when I used to spectate Now I stand in the direct shade to avoid the sunrays Cause my iris was burning when I went to see the light That's why I'm losing sleep at night looking for some beats to write My Opus's, it's hopelessness that's the plague of out people Also, the lack of character development in a sequel That's why when "junior" decided to go to war How could you stand back and try to force out an applaud? That shit's ridiculous when our president dimes and nickels us So we send over missiles to form ripples in the dust Meanwhile, oil prices skyrocket Spend a billion on a fuel cell with a lethal by-product And we gave Saddam a 48 hour ultimatum With hopes that crazier son wouldn't replace him And we'll find a fix to this at the same time as AIDS Cause it's not about the cure, it's all about getting paid "Paid in full, its unbelievable... but true cause in times of war our bill of rights become null and void They don't want to kill you they want to fill you with wooden bullets So shut your lips you fucking bitch and lets all go get fucking rich In paradise, somewhere where the air is nice With someone I can share my life Where my highest rated stock picks wont plummet over night
