[Verse 1:] I know that everything that goes up, must come down That everybody with luck, must run out Ya, so now I'm contemplating, like 'what's up now' The music thing is all gone, but I'll suck it up proud I did more than I imagined, tours I couldnt fathom Broke down doors for sure, I let 'em have it If any opportunity came, I had to grab it Any goals set, I rose, then ran past it Not a superstar and never wanted that But I did sign some autographs on some groupies' ass Smoked a lot of free weed from St. John's to BC They came out the wood work, to see me speak That was paradise
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:] I went thru all types of bullshit, the story go way back And I'm proud of myself now, though its corny to say that Hip hop in Enfield was really non existance Parents thought I was a fad, Dad I gone the distance I tried to make a difference, I kept workin off persistance Noone paid attention, now I talk and they listen Emcees are often dissin, like I'm the man to beat Ya I met a lot of rap stars that still a fan of me I rock shows wit Busta, had songs in his movie A chicken wit Luda, conversated wit some doobie I drank wit Buck Shot, and Dj Evil D I did songs wit Maestro, and smoked hash wit Keith Moby I love hip hop, cause it made me who I am It gave me confidence, and it made a honest man This is paradise, and I found a promise land So now I'm chillin and enjoyin my accomplishments It's paradise
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:] Now a couple years after this drop, I'll probably flop But thats the way it goes when you get on the top I'm talkin bout Canada, yo this industry's a joke I'm a canadian rap star, and kid I'm still broke But I ain't work in years, and some think I'm famous While other people ask when the hell I'm gunna make it I'm good where I'm at, keep the glamour and the glitz I don't run from my fans, cause my stamina is shit I appreciate the heads, the critics, and the haters I know I miss the ref, the bitches and the breakers The tours, the shows, promoters and the assholes The beats and the rhymes, cause thats all that Class knows That was paradise
