Paradise

I'm still wonderin' How do you, stay true to you Better yourself while it's bettering you? So, how do you, continue to Believe in yourself? When even your wife stops believing in you Yeah, It's too true Sometimes life's just way too cruel You wanna devour me? How cowardly You only empower me Yeah, every time you look down on me And I'm wonderin' What am I meant to be? Will history, even, remember me? Will it mention me? Is this healthy for me to be, constantly, beating me, mentally? And I pray I'm in God's good graces Well, good gracious People always changing their faces And no one wants no one to make it No one's gonna give you anything, so you gotta take it I've always believed if you want a paradise, then you go and make it I've been upside down I don't wanna be the right way round Can't find paradise on the ground I've been upside down I don't wanna be the right way round Can't find paradise on the ground Greatest motivator is doubt So blessed are the days when you counted me out A message to those that think I would bow My power's about, to power you down Look around, look around I bring the rain in the midst of my drought You bring disdain, not what I'm about You want a storm? Then I'll bring the clouds Remaining me through this darkness, was a decision Degrading me in the process, I guess they did it I guess they did it, I didn't listen No never mind, I paid no attention Everyday I live is a blessing So, everyday I live to be legend And I'm vicious with my vision Now, I'm striking with Tyson precision So, you can turn witness or a victim Greatness is a gift to the strong No riding no coat-tails or tagging along Give all of yourself, 'til all of it's gone And accept nothing less than all that you want And I pray I'm in God's good graces Well, good gracious People always changing their faces And no one wants no one to make it No one's gonna give you anything, so you gotta take it And if you want a paradise, go and make it I've been upside down I don't wanna be the right way round Can't find paradise on the ground I've been upside down I don't wanna be the right way round Can't find paradise on the ground I've been upside down I don't wanna be the right way round Can't find paradise on the ground I've been upside down I don't wanna be the right way round Can't find paradise on the ground I've been upside down I don't wanna be the right way round Can't find paradise on the ground
