Paradise is a place that's far from home And lately all I ever see is everything I've ever known Paradise Lately I've been dropping ecstasy (ecstasy) Never done it, but I tried it just to see (just to see) Chasing freedom like I'm running out of youth Ask myself what makes me happy, I can't seem to find the truth People ask me what I do, I say that I'm chasing dreams I know they just think I'm crazy putting faith in make believe I don't blame 'em, I don't blame 'em 'Cause some days I think the same Like I've been wasting my time, but I don't got no time to change I done cheated, I done cheated, everytime I've been in love Chase the girl who doesn't care at all, and hurt the one who does I was raised to just forget about 'em, yeah, that's how I grew Every years' a different state, every grades' a different school Every couple years or so, dad brought home a different mom Brothers, sisters come and go, what the fucks' a family bond? I, just wanna fly to anywhere but where we are So, take me away and take me high and take me far 'Cause Paradise is a place that's far from home And lately all I ever see is everything I've ever known Paradise is a place that's far from home And lately all I ever see is everything I've ever known Lately I've been dropping two at a time It doesn't phase me now, I'm doing just fine And as of lately I've been breaking the law Chasing this money I'm not making everyday of my job Yeah, that's the evil that'll kill this race, nobody feeling safe Kids concealing face, sealing fates, just to fill a safe Rob and steal your vases while your face is in a pillow case We in a guerrilla state chasing bigger real-estate Now we riskin' realer stakes, ain't no time to feel mistakes Ain't no extra reels or takes, tell me how much reals' it take? To stop the cinema and the sins you administer 'Cause when it's finished, you'll see these minutes are just miniature I tend to pop 'em when I'm kinda stressed, and I Do not really mind the side affects, and I Just wanna fly to anywhere but where we are So, take me away and take me high and take me far 'Cause Paradise is a place that's far from home And lately all I ever see is everything I've ever known Paradise is a place that's far from home And lately all I ever see is everything I've ever known Paradise is a place that's far from home
