[Black Thought Speaking] 
And yes y'all, you now rocking with the best 
Black Thought from the legendary Roots crew in the flesh 
I split up in here with the brothers from the Marley family 
Creston--we gon' say it for y'all 

[Stephen Marley] 
She loves to party, have a good time 
She looks so hearty, feeling fine 
She loves to smoke, sometimes shifting coke 
Hey...she'd be laughing when there ain't no joke 
 [bad word]  Stephen Marley] 
Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now 
Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was 
Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was now 
Pimpa's paradise! that's all she was 

[Verse 1] 
Cause coke was a thing that once she first try 
Was once a blue moon to once a blue sky 
Now she's wondering who else wants to go buy 
She don't got no money and wants to get high 
Story sounds familiar, 
Like born to be wild but she sillier 
Not quite the same, but she similar 
waste of my sarsaparilla 
Used to look good in the videos, now she look hideous 

Now it's broken crack pipes with lipstick traces 
Walks the cold nights red district places 
She seen more hotels than my tour suitcases 
More male customers than Old Navy's 
She love lime light more than John Swaby's 
Seen more miles than a Rent-A-Avis 
She don't slow down then someday maybe 
She lost and can't find her way to safety 
 [bad word] Repeats] 

[Black Thought] 
Check it out 
She keep her head up in the space like a satellite 
Because she got an insatiable appetite 
For staying out late nights with all the parasites 
Plotting on a way to cop a little piece of paradise 
Her dignity the only thing that she could sacrifice 
Just get the monkey off her back and she'd be back in line 
Five minutes she stay on the move, 
She'd done smoked up the stone that the builder refused 
All coked up alone, she ain't even in tune 
And it's sad cause she ain't really have a reason to use 

She was pretty girl 
Cleaner than the Board of Health 
Studied and enjoyed herself, I don't know what drove her to avoid herself 
Destroyed herself and took a taste of the yay' 
And now she on the track, working while she wasting away 
It's safe to say, she looking for a someplace to stay 
Who ever got a little paper to play 
Can get a slice of this... 
 [bad word] Repeats] 

[Verse 2] 
For no reason a seasoned splif was the first thing 
One spring season while she's out flirting 
Now she season in and don't need rehearsing 
Esteem get a beating, life is uncertain 
Ego need feeding, now the wants worsen 
Beneath the demons she's a warm person 
When she's not fiending, swearing and cursing 
Behind the curtains, she's really hurting 
And while her people don't even [bad word] her at home 
The dealer dem grin and cook the rocks down 
And she without sin will spark the first stone 
The feeling kicks in she's in the dark zone 
Old friends walk pass going 'bout their own 
As if she is someone that they don't know 
Then the King of Kings lift her off the floor 
Saying, "Life is a thing when you learn you grow." 
 [bad word] Repeats] 

[Verse 3] 
She rise and she fall like a star 
Her life write off like a car 
Her face full of all kinda scar 
Always quick fi start a war 
She can't keep herself up to par 
She plays like a broken guitar 
She always want tek it too far 
I doubt she a-go mek it too far 

She rise and she fall like a star 
Her life write off like a car 
Her face full of all kinda scar 
Always quick fi start a war 
She can't keep herself up to par 
She plays like a broken guitar 
She always want tek it too far 
Mi wonder how she mek it so far
