letra de paradise - apollo brown & philmore greene

[intro]
it seems to me like ever since i was a little child, i’ve been starving (yo)
i’ve never known anything but hunger
(everybody gotta eat)

[verse: philmore greene]
look, the score for the night was pure silence
off key church bells, drug deals, and sirens
the city whistles every time the wind blows
nymphos secure deals behind tinted windows
s-x advance for the cash at hand
the wrong worlds collide, chi-town is pakistan
it’s no return when the casket slammed
a n-gga ‘gon dress you up, dapper dan
when the city sleeps run for cover
the night a’ take your mother, stray your sister, and leave a b-st-rd brother
the stick swinging like pinatas for the candy
for the bread theya’ do you like the robbers did the candy, family
the pastors say the church belong to god
backsliding like mechanics under cars for the worship jars
a thief in the night will stay at large
never sleep but this is only your odds, paradise
[chorus]
cause when the night time cover the city
you better search for a safe place
you could stay and just find your way
cause when the night time cover the city
you better take your black ass some place safe

[verse: philmore greene]
what’s to this inner-city lifestyle?
the days of circus and every night wild
bright child, stuck in the ghetto, let save em’ right now
the bible say the kids ‘il be smarter
but weaker social media turned the babies from a guider to seeker
subsidized housing, fema
the stress level is high as an underpaid teacher
he started early so he’s used to inprison here
don’t miss that of a pistol he lost his life to recidivism
my man got 40 years for heron
but jason did three for a body?
so why you wanna play with that block for?
buy a truck to transport some goods and commodities
cdl’s the government to see me fail
culturally biased learning the schools ain’t never teach me well
are you religious or superstitious? the devil, i’m out-wittin’
tryna’ to dodge a bullet or a life sentence, paradise
[chorus]
cause when the night time cover the city
you better search for a safe place
you could stay and just find your way
cause when the night time cover the city
you better take your black ass some place safe

[verse: evidence]
(find a way)
just waking up todays and anons flashing high beams at me in these streets will lead the drama (yeah)
bad karma if i’m doing dirt to add a comma
i’m from los angeles the city of the broken promise (one, two…)
you got six million stories, and six million ways to die, so choose for me
get the money, don’t confuse the glory
to all the crews before me
four in the morning wore my jordan’s through the territory
i’m from the place that’s most deceiving
it’s ghetto at the beach but won’t be leaving
they kick my homies out so i be loyal to a region (no)
i guess i’m overdosing on the coast that set the evening
under stars a’ california dreaming
i call it last call to jet before the scheming
another victim for the season, ‘it was written’ we know how to read (easy)
it’s to be or not to be defeated, paradise

[chorus]
cause when the night time cover the city
you better search for a safe place
you could stay and just find your way
cause when the night time cover the city
you better take your black ass some place safe
[outro]
yeah, you hear that right?
mr. police banging on the door
harassing, yeah, kicking the motherf-cking door down
