inspectah kp - paradise lyrics
[verse 1]
you want to see evidence for proof of its lies?
visit the tenements, you’ll see proof in his eyes
procedures and elements by the ruthless devised
triangle walls to keep the clueless outside
if you ask too many questions, better let your doubts guide you
facts turn into weapons, better hope your house hides you
ask the ones you love, better hope your spouse lied or the
past turns into present, letters only what survive
it’s a pretty simple world, ’til you look at the facts
the ones that comply over time, they the ones that last
kennedy said in a speech that he’d uncovered a vast conspiracy
moved down the road, and his skull was cracked
we roll with that, oswald made his eyes roll back
act alone? we’ll never know. he was dead ‘fore he could crack
prodigy exposed the feds in album six, at last
too bad we never got to hear it, ’cause his fifth was his last
[hook x2]
thing’s ain’t right, and if you lookin’ for the future
turn around and look behind, if you lookin’ for the truth
well that’s the way to paradise, if you manage to survive
it’s a h#ll on earth, and that’s the pain of being wise
[verse 2]
n0body cared about that trial on mlk
that’s ’cause n0body’s aired the news once, to this day
it was 1999 in memphis, tennessee
unanimous, k!ller’s name wasn’t james earl ray
a year later the case is voided by the d.o.j
insufficient evidence # what else could they say?
when four years before he died, letter from the fbi
it said “commit suicide, or we gon’ do it our way”
respect to king and kennedy, did it the hard way
scarface more important to the feds than who’s safe
akon built a solar grid for 600 million africans
usin’ only money from his tour dates
and our taxes, somehow, won’t cover natural disasters
hurricanes in puerto rico cost too much for the rates
akon brought a plan to build a grid in 30 days
the government turned him down, they gon’ do it their way
[hook x2]
thing’s ain’t right, and if you lookin’ for the future
turn around and look behind, if you lookin’ for the truth
well that’s the way to paradise, if you manage to survive
it’s a h#ll on earth, and that’s the pain of being wise
[verse 3]
its a sad truth: good samaritans die sooner
missin’ god’s rules, good american’s lives ruined
by the bad schools, where the merit is sly, proving
that control rules # in america, you’re a student
god said that his home is a home for the poor
pac said that the future is on track for a war
build a church out of marble with a black wooden door
keep the hungry outside # never commune with the poor
[outtro]
somebody k!lled nipsey hussle hustlin’ on his own block
wasn’t tipsy, guzzlin’, just tryna be the next pac
fortune flipped # he jugglin’ leaving the hood, or keep his spot
wasn’t tustlin’, standin’ with his daughter when he was shot
crenshaw, build a fence? nah, nipsey wasn’t for it
buildin’ schools, payin’ rents, cars, money, homie store it
if you got some extra liquor, then c’mon, homie, pour it
celebrate the life of the hero before we start to mourn it
