Verse 1:
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 mood and the games you've played
She finally made all her dreams come true and then she screamed

Chorus
Oh no, this ain't paradice
Oh no, this ain't paradice
Oh no, this ain't paradice
Yea
Oh no, this ain't paradice
Oh no, this ain't paradice
Oh no, this ain't paradice

Verse 2
He was a young boy in pursuit of money and fame,
And he would do anything he could to kill the pain
When everybody knew your mood, they speaking your name,
All over the late night local news I hear them scream

Chorus
Oh no, this ain't paradice
Oh no, this ain't paradice
Oh no, this ain't paradice
Oh no, this ain't paradice
Oh no, this ain't paradice
Oh no, this ain't paradice

Oh, I say the sun don't shine forever
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Ohhh
And everything that glitter ain't gold
I say love don't love forever
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Ohhh
When everything that's new gets old

Sometimes we try to find a road to the riches;
We need roadside assistance
Blisters on my knees from begging for forgiveness
Ain't no dollars on my trees, but mileage on my feet,
'Cause I been climbing to the peak and running from the bullshit
I'm tired of hearing the same songs, who told the DJ bring it back
Dead presidents bullet in Abraham Lincoln hat
Staring at big poster I swear that he be winking back
Cut school; sell crack Sorry I'm just thinking back
CaCall 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 paradice

Chorus
Oh no, this ain't paradice
Oh no, this ain't paradice
Oh no, this ain't paradice
Oh, Oh, Ohh
This ain't paradice
No, this ain't paradice
