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)
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
(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
(The same chords as chorus)
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
(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
