Where is the Paradise

i been searching every corner, every block that i walk  

money talk but it don't speak when the pressure get hot  

dreams in my pocket, but the rent due tomorrow  

smile on my face but the struggle in my marrow  

they say heaven on earth, but i ain't seen the gate  

just gates on the windows, tryna keep the pain out  

big talk in the club but the tab running late  

everybody chasing something that they can't pronounce  

i seen paradise in the rearview once  

looked back twice but the vision was gone  

now i'm riding with the windows down, music up loud  

hoping paradise catch me when the bass hit the ground
