Paradise Lyrics

Dear mama, I hope this letter finds you in good health

Despite the fact that neither one of us has wealth

I miss you a million, and I hope I see you soon

You been out here exploring, man, you probably seen the moon

But you don't deserve this life, somehow I feel it's my fault

I feel like it's my job to bring back everything that we lost

The fire took everything, but it didn't take our hearts

And when you lose it all, you just gotta restart

And I wanna get a place, but nobody's hiring

I wanna write more, but nothing's inspiring

I wanna marry this girl, but I can't even buy a ring

But I gotta keep working, though this is tiring

And Imma get you out the hood and get you off the streets

Put some food inside ya stomach and give you a place to sleep

Don't let me take off with the raps, cuz you'll be living in heaven

If I ain't there, you'll have somebody 24/7

You won't have to lift a finger long as I got a say

You can live in paradise for the rest of your days

You can blast whatever music or you can sit in peace

And you won't have to cook, but Imma need the recipes

And everything you know you gone have to teach me

And if you ever need my help you got two phones to reach me

Cuz it's my turn to keep you fed because you used to feed me

And I'm always right here if you ever need me

I love you

Man, you've really lived a life, if I only knew the story

From the little that I know, you deserve all the glory

Single mom, doing everything you could I admit

Just tryna keep me fed, if I was you I would've quit

But you never gave up, no matter what I did

All the stupid things I did, as a big little kid

Stealing Pokemon cards, I was tryna catch 'em all

Till they caught me and you beat my Lil ass down the hall

And you broke my PlayStation, man I regret

But you gave me so much, and I can never forget

You taught me how to love and what it means to protect

I used to have a quiet voice, you taught me how to project

And anything you want you just gotta name it

Don't tell me to keep my money, I don't wanna save it

Cuz you deserve to be spoiled once I finally make it

And I just want you to know, that you are appreciated
