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
