Paradise Lyrics by Derrick Matthews

Paradise - Single

2022

[Chorus: SH3]
I need to find my way to paradise
I won't let you tempt me
No, no
No, no
Find my way to paradise
I won't let you tempt me
No, no
No, no
[Verse 1: Derrick Matthews]
Liquor drips down the wall
Glass pieces all around
It's an everyday thing
When mama's boyfriend's in town
Duck the bottle hide Your face
The table's flipped upside down
Screams from the kitchen keep us up late
You better squeeze the pillow tight to drown the sound
Hold up that's fucking real shit
We all got bullshit to deal with
I'm never gonna say I got it any worse than you
But if you come to my side of the train tracks
I can't guarantee how far you'll make it in my shoes
Hater, complainer, bet you eat off mama's plate
Really want that beef I'll scramble your eggs and serve it with steak
They say no rest for the wicked the good are dying young
If you survive long enough, then who will you become
[Chorus: SH3]
I need to find my way to paradise
I won't let you tempt me
No, no
No, no
Find my way to paradise
I won't let you tempt me
No, no
No, no
[Verse 2: Derrick Matthews]
All bite like a real pit, fists clinched for conflict
Meet me out back by the rusted Chevy with the rim bent
We can get froggy, so hop along I got a temper
Every day I had to beat up a hick calling me a nigga
Next time he'll remember before he says Jigga boo
With a busted lip and nose 3 o'clock behind the school
Like nigga who, you think you talking to, no Jim crow nowadays
I'm from the block where they let it spray for wrong colorways
PTSD like Vietnam, our streets felt the same
Looked around the whole playground for needles before we could play
Although we're not the same, I barely see the difference
Who the fuck am I to judge you by your skin or religion
Who you think you kidding, what is the world coming to
Don't wanna die to get to heaven, could have it now if you wanted to
So what you gonna do, what life you want for you
You can live it all today and know it was because of you
[Chorus: SH3]
I need to find my way to paradise
I won't let you tempt me
No, no
No, no
Find my way to paradise
I won't let you tempt me
No, no
No, no
[Outro: Derrick Matthews]
Gotta find my way to paradise
No more distractions, no more temptations
Gotta get out of my own way
Gotta find my way
Gotta find my way
