[Intro: Black Thought] And yes y'all, you now rockin with the best Black Thought from the legendary Roots crew in the flesh I slid up in here with the brothers from the Marley family, crestin, we 'gon set for y'all
[Verse 1: Stephen Marley] Hey! She loves to party, have a good time She looks so hearty, feeling fine She loves to smoke, sometimes sniffs coke She's laughing when there ain't no joke, hey!!!
[Chorus: Stephen Marley] (Background Singers) (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
[Verse 2: Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley] Cause coke was a thing that once she first tried Was once a blue moon to once a blue sky And now she's wonderin who else wants to go by 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 similiar A waste of a saucy perilier Used to look good in the videos now she look hideous Now it's broken crack pipes with lipstick traces Work the cold nights red district places She seen more hotels then my tour suitcases Or male customers than Old Navy She love limelight more than John Swayze Seen more miles than I rent an AV She don't slow down then some day maybe She lost then she can't find her way to safety
[Chorus: Stephen Marley] (Background Singers) (Pimpa'ss 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
[Verse 3: Black Thought] Check it out! She keep her head up in space like a satellite Because she got a insatiable appetite For stayin out late night with all the parasites Plottin on the 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 be back in like Five minutes, she stay on the move She looked smoked up, and stoned at the buildin refused All coked up, alone she ain't even in tuned And it's sad cause she ain't really have a reason to use She was a pretty girl cleaner than the board of health studied than 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 workin while she wastin away It's safe to say she lookin for some place to stay Whoever got a lil' paper to play could get a slice of this....
[Chorus: Stephen Marley] (Background Singers) (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
[Verse 3: Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley] For no reason a seasoned spliff was the first thing One spring season while she's out flirtin Now she season me and don't need rehearsin And seen get a beaten life is uncertained Ego need feedin now no one's mercy Beneath the demons she's a one person When she's not fiendin swearin and cursin Behind the curtain she's really hurtin And while her people don't even trust her at home The dealer that bring and cook the rock down And she without sinnin will spot the first stone The feelin kicks in she's in the dark zone Old friends walk pass goin bout there own As if she is someone that they don't know Then the King Of Kings lift her off the flo' Sayin life is a thing when you learn you grow
[Chorus: Stephen Marley] (Background Singers) (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
[Outro: Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley & Stephen Marley] She rise and fall like a star, her ride off like a car Her face full of all kind of scar, always with fist start a war She can't keep herself up to par, she plays like a broken guitar She always want take it to far Although she ain't go make it too far She rise and fall like a star, her ride off like a car Her face full of all kind of scar, always with fist start a war She can't keep herself up to par, she plays like a broken guitar She always want take it to far Mi wonder if she make it so far, wuy!!!!
