(Verse 1) She was a young girl in pursuit of glory and fame She would do anything she could to feel the flame When everybody knew your moves and the games you played She finally made all her dreams come true and then she screamed
(Chorus) Oh, no, this ain't paradise Oh, no this ain't paradise Oh, no, this ain't paradise Yeah Oh, no, this ain't paradise Oh, no, this ain't paradise Oh, no, this ain't paradise
(Verse 2) He was a young boy in pursuit of money and fame He would do anything he could to kill the pain When everybody knew your move, they speakin' your name All over the late night local news I heard him scream
(Chorus)
(Bridge) I say the sun don't shine forever And everything that glitter ain't gold I say love don't love forever Oh, but everything that do gets old Sometimes we try to find a road to the riches, need roadside assistance Blisters on my knees from beggin' for forgiveness Ain't no dollars on my trees, but mileage on my feet Cause I've been climbin' to the peak and runnin' from the bullshit I'm tired of playin' the same song, who told the DJ bring it back Dead presidents bullet in Abraham Lincoln hat Starin' at big posts, I sware that he be wankin' back Cut school, sell crack, sorry I'm just thinkin' back Call me crazy I've been called worse It's like I have it all but what's it all worth I'm probably better in my afterlife I should cherish life but this ain't paradise
