They say, "a man who has not prepared his children, for his own death Has failed as a father" I'm prepared Is it really paradise or is it make believe? Is it really more to life or is this all for me? Am I bein' selfish, wantin' more than what I need? I just need to breathe Is it really paradise or is it make believe? Is it really more to life or is this all for me? Am I bein' selfish, wantin' more than what I need? I just need to breathe And let go from it My dad layin' up in paradise Meanwhile, I'm still down here, rollin' the dice Takin' my chances Heavy thinker I'm askin' questions that never answered Like my girl askin' me Why I ain't more romantic? Put roses on the table, for our dinner night Spent my last 20 dollars Tryna make it right What's a gift, if it ain't used in the present? The pressure to be the greatest Got me constantly stressin' While stuck inside of a blind place It's gettin' tougher gettin' out I need to find space I'm only runnin' with myself In this divine race I highly doubt that they could make it at this fine pace That I been treadin' Lately, it's been affectin' Everything that I'm destined Still don't see it connectin' Only thing that I'm left with Is a hope that I'ma find more Like my mother's name, meanin' more than number 4, yeah Is it really paradise or is it make believe? Is it really more to life or is this all for me? Am I bein' selfish, wantin' more than what I need? I just need to breathe And let go from it Let go from it (from it all) Let go from it (from it all) And let go from it I just need to breathe And let go from it I ain't shit without my pain That's why these nigga's feel me Too many lies surround me For me, not to give the real me Too many of our nigga's innocent But, seen as guilty, I guess the Freedom been granted But they still gon' bill me Paintin' pictures like Mona Lisa Focus in on her features Smirkin', but still she hurtin' I wonder if it gets deeper? Than the image on canvas Many can't understand this, so I took the risk, and set Da Vinci as the standard, though I know many of 'em, probably isn't realistic Been tryna go the extra mile Just creating distance I got family that probably leave me in an instant If the chance to change our blood, is ever presented Put my life on instrumentals, on the daily Not worried 'bout the critics Or this game that rather play me If there isn't more Then I hope it make it safely Knowin' I'm the only one that can save me, 'til paradise (This ain't no paradise) I embrace the adversity Thrivin' when facin' uncertainty Risin' when spirits are gettin' low Timin' was more than my luxury When it was back up against the wall That's when I found, what the purpose be Tell 'em, I'm one of the ones he chose I'll make it to where you the first to see Nigga life is a gamble I'm rollin' dice over samples I minimized what I handled Then maximized my potential I live and die to dismantle This paradise, propaganda A Gemini, in a self inflicted fight "Dumb it down, or you'll see demise" "Why you speakin' wise?" I can see the times How much time 'til I kill they plot? On the grind for a while But I still ain't stop O-Trice with the mind But I still ain't shot Give life to the beat But I still ain't DOC Never silence me But I still ain't PAC All eyes on me But I still ain't drop I live for pressure I live the message I feel 'em threatened I don't ever disrespect the legends I don't give none to reverends I need to change my investments If that'll get me into heaven He still up in paradise A paradigm, to pair us up for life This pair of dice, I'm rollin' snake eyes To give my pops a second chance at life I embrace the adversity Thrive, when facin' uncertainty Rise, when spirits are gettin' low Time, was more than my luxury When it was back up against the wall That's when I found, what the purpose be Tell 'em, I'm one of the ones he chose I'll make it to where you the first to see This ain't a paradise, this more a pair of dice This ain't a paradise, this more a pair of dice This ain't a paradise, this more a pair of dice This ain't a paradise, this more a pair of dice
