Song lyrics: NISH - Paradise On Fire (ft Jeff Wight)
I was trapped in the dark and I made it to the light now.
HOOK (Jeff Wight):
I used to feel all my problems
Until I found a way to solve them
I let it drift away, Let it drift away
And they try to sell you sadness
But the label it the truth
That's just something that they say
Let it drift away
And if you're going through hell
You just keep going
Because you are never knowing
If Heaven's 'round the corner
And I'm just here to say
We all go through the same
Let it drift away, let it drift away
VERSE 1:
Really had the nerve when you told me I couldn't live my dreams
Never get too close to emotions that I could never need
Prepared to bleed for this creed of passion I forever read
Want to feed us lies and prejudice, nothing ain't really what it seems
For the love we shared was effortless, forever running with my team
Promise my devotion for this multi million dollar scheme
Was probably me tryna give my city something they can feel
Something real, see me shine upon your hate without a deal
Right before they try to kill me for the dollar bills
Rise with the truth or you can die with the lies
With this Paradise On Fire, blessed city in the skies.
Your glory and your beauty was a mystery in disguise
Adorned in all your torment, it's a blessing we survive
And I thank you for the love, I'm grateful I'm alive
Where freedom over mercy is the truth they want to hide
From these ghetto kings hustling with problems on their minds
HOOK
VERSE 2:
See the pain was hanging like some ornaments upon my soul
And the weakness of this branch of misery was so exposed
Where the hate was water for my roots so you can watch me grow
Reap, we sow. Living the life we chose upon this lonely road
With a heavy weight upon my shoulder trying to free the globe
I'm blowing reefer, sinking deeper, trying to let it go
Turning back the hands of time. Treasure of a spotless mind
Hidden at the bottom of the ocean only you can find
Can't rewind its hell on earth coping with the harder times
Babies cursed from their birth, infected with a life of crime
Injected with a anger, and the pressure building on their mind
Shame was like an anchor for the jealous in these violent times
Trying to feed their ego with a poison they could never find
Sight for the blind trapped looking for that silver line
Fear can never surface when you living out your purpose
And I hope you never show it when they tell you that you worthless
HOOK
VERSE 3:
Will I be forgotten like the shadow of a lonely thug?
Do I got to die before the radio can show me love?
Consider my thoughts and never sleep and keep in deep regret
We living a life of hate surrounded by the stench of death
We live in a land, the gift of life, they showing no respect
I'm really sorry, I've been dealing with alot of stress
I cherish living in the moment never know what's next
Cash your cheques, see these killers coming aiming for your neck
They murder women or leave them wishing that they were dead
Witness the evil that slaughter youths who were never fed
He never did nothing but still got one to the head
They took revenge on his killers and they filled them with lead
Is it me or do these streets look bloody red?
My leaders sleeping with demons having lavish affairs
These savage habits of malice that cause so many tears
Alot of problems in society so may shared
But like you dirty politicians never seemed to care
When the bloodshed in my city is really much to bare
These little kids growing, living in a world of fear
Caught in despair really wishing hoping you would care
I never thought that I would see these murders every year
Never thought that I would overcome these angry tears
Never thought that I would say this ish so sincere
But sometimesI want to get the fck up out of here!
