Paradise

Flight 305 to Miami is now boarding
I will always be the one to bring you back, bring you back

Oooooooh
Paradise
You better think twice
Cause it's not very nice
Oooooooh
Paradise
You better think twice
Cause it's not very nice

Well alright
It seem like broke days was the better days
Where the whole neighborhood was HUD housing and Section 8
I was just in the 7th grade
When I made up my mind, my dream car was a seven tre
Wanted a donk, I was still at the bus stop
That was around the time Trick Thugs R Us dropped
305 on a baseball cap
Used to peanut butter jelly with the baseball bat
Realest killers on the block still jookin and stickin
And everybody used to rock Reeboks with Dickies
And my aunties was getting loose to Uncle Luke
My uncle them was selling dope and smoking boonk
That was way before the mollys came through
And way way after Hurricane Andrew
And way before the flakka feigns and skinny jeans
That real Miami life, it was paradise

Oooooooh
Paradise
You better think twice
Cause it's not very nice
Oooooooh
Paradise
You better think twice
Cause it's not very nice

Reporting live from Liberty City
We in the heart of Miami the nitty and gritty
See I was raised in a different time by some
strong women with they own minds and they own grind
See my momma was a hustla
Taught me how to stack that money and make it double up
Picture me with my bamboo earrings
with my girls at the block party on 15th
Wrist full of bangles me and my girls
Rockin' ocean waves and leisure
curls, FILAs, K Swiss with the ruffle socks
Way back then before they knocked down scotts
Before the dope boys started riding on 4s
It was trues and vogues, 50s and lows
And I been driving dudes insane
Dade County home of the baddest bitch in the game

Oooooooh
Paradise
You better think twice
Cause it's not very nice
Oooooooh
Paradise
You better think twice
Cause it's not very nice

Let's take it back
We used to come through with the top down
Take the whole back seat out and watch the bitch beat out
My backyard was a reefer hole
Any thots wearing lil shorts we called them skeezer hoes
Every Friday we was in the hay hay
From 1 to 5 on Saturdays it was Kitty day
And we was Pac Jam junkies then
If you wasn't from one of them beans you wasn't getting in
All them niggas off of 15th avenue
They was eating like them boys off of Malibu
And 2 Live was our niggas with attitude
(N.W.A.)
M&M boots, silk shirts and Bally shoes
The Splash Down or the Goombay
Parade on 6 2 for Martin Luther King Day
And overtown used to come alive
We used to give straight up fades before we did drive byes

Oooooooh
Paradise
You better think twice
Cause it's not very nice
Oooooooh
Paradise
You better think twice
Cause it's not very nice
