Where is the Paradise

paradise ain't a place, it's a state that you chase  

but the chase make you blind to the moment you taste  

i've been tasting every second, every breath that i take  

every win, every loss, every move that i make  

they're selling dreams on the tv, 24/7  

but the price tag heavy when you're trying to get in  

i ain't buying what they selling, i been building my own  

paradise in the struggle, in the grind, in the zone  

so i keep moving forward, even when the road bend  

even when the lights dim, even when the money end  

because paradise ain't waiting at the end of the line  

it's the fight in your chest when you say "one more time"
