Paradise II

(앨범: College Park - 2023)

Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la

Cruising through the borderlands, catch a vibe
Fatherhood my hustle, nowadays I'm making music on the side
I confide in the page, weed smoke fill the air like Sage
Thirty-two my age, I spot a couple grays
Feel my blood pressure raise
No longer are the days of my childhood
My priority nowadays is making sure my wife and my child good
Stepping to me, I wish you would
Lord of the Rings, my bling shine like Elijah Wood (Ah-ah-ah)
Yeah, the lows be low, but the highs be good
Beneath the sheets like an Isley would
I pick up the mic, oh my God, he good
Retired and came back just like they thought he would (Uh-uh)
Feel it and face 'em (Uh-uh)
I'm tryna face it (Uh-uh), the rest is basic, uh (Uh-uh)
Ayo, I want you to play this (Uh-uh) and vibe in the ride (Uh-uh)
I'm finally happy with the man (Uh-uh) on the inside
Full of pride (Uh-uh), full of fear
Been a decade, but I'm here, seeing clear
Different motivations, no longer the people that's up in my ear (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I woke up early on my born day, like Nasir in '94 (Ah-ah-ah)
Three-hundred-sixty-five behind me now, plus one more
My physical frame made it beyond what they said it would
My debut album did better than Reddit said it would
Made it out the trap, but I got my gat, yeah, that's a fact
I'm running it back, like, "What's up?"
From the cover of XXL to my moment of clarity (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
As I excel at Madison Square, I swear
The rap game will split your shit like an affair
Prepare for the worst
And this business shit can get grimy, got 'em all behind me
Come now, don't try me, 'cause I'm me, the God
Study bitches, like I'm abroad
This is dad music, pick up the pen and know how to use it (Ah-ah-ah)
Plenty responsibility in me, know how to use it
Appreciative for what I got, 'cause people could lose it
Take these lyrics and use it (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Take the heart on my sleeve and transfuse it
I'm bleeding as you listen to what I'm reading (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
No longer needing approval and feeding into the vision of the public
I'm above it, used to do it how they did it
'Cause I thought that's how you did it, now I do it, 'cause I love it
I don't covet everything they got that I don't (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Let me out of the water
Let me into your sunny day
Let me out, out of the water
Let me into your sunny day
Get me out of this water
Let me into your sunny day
Get me out of this water
Let me into your sunny day
Stop tryna make it right
Gotta get it nice and light
Won't you take me for a ride?
Take me into paradise
Gotta keep our heads tonight
Even if it makes a fight
Take me into paradise
Here I am in paradise
