talk is cheap

He was a young boy in pursuit the money and fame
And he would do anything he could to kill the pain
When everybody knew your moves, they speak of your name
And oh all over the late night local news I heard him scream

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

I said the sun don't shine forever
And everything that bitter it goes
I said love don't love forever
And everything that's new gets old

Sometimes we try to find the road to the riches
Need road side assistance
Blisters on my knees from begging for forgiveness
This ain't no dollars on my trees
but knowledge on my feet cuz I been climbing to the peek
and running from the bullshit

I'm tired of playing the same song 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
C-Call me crazy I 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
