(Black Thought Speaking)
And yes y´all, you now rocking with the best
Black Thought from the legendary Roots crew in the flesh
I split up in here with the brothers from the Marley family

Creston--we gon´ say it for y´all

(Stephen Marley)
She loves to party, have a good time
She looks so hearty, feeling fine
She loves to smoke, sometimes shifting coke
Hey...she´d be laughing when there ain´t no joke

(Refrain: Stephen Marley)
Pimpa´s paradise! that´s all she was now
Pimpa´s paradise! that´s all she was
Pimpa´s paradise! that´s all she was now
Pimpa´s paradise! that´s all she was

Cause coke was a thing that once she first try
Was once a blue moon to once a blue sky
Now she´s wondering who else wants to go buy
She don´t got no money and wants to get high

Story sounds familiar,
Like born to be wild but she sillier
Not quite the same, but she similar
A waste of my sarsaparilla
Used to look good in the videos, now she look hideous

Now it´s broken crack pipes with lipstick traces
Walks the cold nights red district places
She seen more hotels than my tour suitcases
More male customers than Old Navy´s
She love lime light more than John Swaby´s
Seen more miles than a Rent-A-Avis
She don´t slow down then someday maybe
She lost and can´t find her way to safety

(refrain)

(Black Thought)
Check it out
She keep her head up in the space like a satellite
Because she got an insatiable appetite
For staying out late nights with all the parasites
Plotting on a way to cop a little piece of paradise
Her dignity the only thing that she could sacrifice
Just get the monkey off her back and she´d be back in line
Five minutes she stay on the move,
She´d done smoked up the stone that the builder refused
All coked up alone, she ain´t even in tune
And it´s sad cause she ain´t really have a reason to use

She was pretty girl
Cleaner than the Board of Health
Studied and enjoyed herself, I don´t know what drove her to avoid herself
Destroyed herself and took a taste of the yay´
And now she on the track, working while she wasting away
It´s safe to say, she looking for a someplace to stay
Who ever got a little paper to play
Can get a slice of this...

(refrain)

For no reason a seasoned splif was the first thing
One spring season while she´s out flirting

Now she season in and don´t need rehearsing
Esteem get a beating, life is uncertain
Ego need feeding, now the wants worsen
Beneath the demons she´s a warm person
When she´s not fiending, swearing and cursing
Behind the curtains, she´s really hurting
And while her people don´t even trust her at home
The dealer dem grin and cook the rocks down
And she without sin will spark the first stone
The feeling kicks in she´s in the dark zone
Old friends walk pass going ´bout their own
As if she is someone that they don´t know
Then the King of Kings lift her off the floor
Saying, "Life is a thing when you learn you grow."

(refrain)

She rise and she fall like a star
Her life write off like a car
Her face full of all kinda scar
Always quick fi start a war
She can´t keep herself up to par
She plays like a broken guitar
She always want tek it too far
I doubt she a-go mek it too far

She rise and she fall like a star
Her life write off like a car
Her face full of all kinda scar
Always quick fi start a war
She can´t keep herself up to par
She plays like a broken guitar
She always want tek it too far
Mi wonder how she mek it so far
