Pimpa's Paradise

[Intro: Black Thought]

And yes y'all, you now rockin 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, crestin, we 'gon set for y'all

[Verse 1: Stephen Marley]

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!!!

[Chorus: Stephen Marley] (Background Singers)

(Pimpa's paradise) That's all she was now

(Pimpa's paradise) That's all she was

(Pimpa's paradise) That's all she was, now

(Pimpa's paradise) That's all she was

[Verse 2: Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley]

Cause coke was a thing that once she first tried

Was once a blue moon to once a blue sky

And now she's wonderin who else wants to go by

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 similiar

A waste of a saucy perilier

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 then my tour suitcases

Or male customers than Old Navy

She love limelight more than John Swayze

Seen more miles than I rent an AV

She don't slow down then some day maybe

She lost then she can't find her way to safety

[Chorus: Stephen Marley] (Background Singers)

(Pimpa'ss paradise) That's all she was now

(Pimpa's paradise) That's all she was

(Pimpa's paradise) That's all she was, now

(Pimpa's paradise) That's all she was

[Verse 3: Black Thought]

Check it out! She keep her head up in space like a satellite

Because she got a insatiable appetite

For stayin out late night with all the parasites

Plottin on the 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 be back in like

Five minutes, she stay on the move

She looked smoked up, and stoned at the buildin refused

All coked up, alone she ain't even in tuned

And it's sad cause she ain't really have a reason to use

She was a pretty girl cleaner than the board of health studied than 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 workin while she wastin away

It's safe to say she lookin for some place to stay

Whoever got a lil' paper to play could get a slice of this....

[Chorus: Stephen Marley] (Background Singers)

(Pimpa's paradise) That's all she was now

(Pimpa's paradise) That's all she was

(Pimpa's paradise) That's all she was, now

(Pimpa's paradise) That's all she was

[Verse 3: Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley]

For no reason a seasoned spliff was the first thing

One spring season while she's out flirtin

Now she season me and don't need rehearsin

And seen get a beaten life is uncertained

Ego need feedin now no one's mercy

Beneath the demons she's a one person

When she's not fiendin swearin and cursin

Behind the curtain she's really hurtin

And while her people don't even trust her at home

The dealer that bring and cook the rock down

And she without sinnin will spot the first stone

The feelin kicks in she's in the dark zone

Old friends walk pass goin bout there own

As if she is someone that they don't know

Then the King Of Kings lift her off the flo'

Sayin life is a thing when you learn you grow

[Chorus: Stephen Marley] (Background Singers)

(Pimpa's paradise) That's all she was now

(Pimpa's paradise) That's all she was

(Pimpa's paradise) That's all she was, now

(Pimpa's paradise) That's all she was

[Outro: Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley & Stephen Marley]

She rise and fall like a star, her ride off like a car

Her face full of all kind of scar, always with fist start a war

She can't keep herself up to par, she plays like a broken guitar

She always want take it to far

Although she ain't go make it too far

She rise and fall like a star, her ride off like a car

Her face full of all kind of scar, always with fist start a war

She can't keep herself up to par, she plays like a broken guitar

She always want take it to far

Mi wonder if she make it so far, wuy!!!!
