Daniel Caesar - Paradise Lyrics






[Daniel Caesar:]
I gotta make something for myself, myself
Don't forget you chose this life
Welcome to your paradise
Lay in your bed, reap what you sow
Welcome to your paradise

I used to stand on the rocks, I used to stand on the rock
On the Rock of Gibraltar
Father told me I faltered
Picking fights with my pops
He asked forgiveness a lot
But I don't need God's forgiveness
Can I get me a witness

I could cry, but I gotta pick my battles tonight, tonight
I could cry, I'll be fighting for the rest of my life, my life

Don't forget you chose this life
Welcome to your paradise
Lay in your bed, reap what you sow
Welcome to your paradise

[Sean Leon:]
Do you wanna be your father? Or do you wanna take it farther
Leave the woman that you'd break your heart for at the altar
Cause you were offered a life that you would trade your heart for
Ain't gotta die to see heaven, I got your heaven nigga
Would rather rev on an engine than ever reverend, nigga
Black sheeps packing weapons in 911's, nigga
How could worship be worth it?
You love your God like yourself
So you deserve to be perfect
You deserve for your car to skirt and your girl to be skirtless
Fuck on a Saturday nigga, miss Sunday service
You made you a hundred verses, a hundred verses
That's why you need you a hundred virgins, a hundred virgins
Yeah, you wear your crown with a frown sometimes
You can't help but feel down at times
You were raised in the basement
You used to pray on your spaceship

[Daniel Caesar:]
I gotta make something for myself, myself
If you want to get this money, come and join me
If you want to get this money, come and join me
If you want to get this money, come and join me
If you want to get this money, come and join me

    [Intro: Keavan Yazdani]
    Lil' nigga you gotta light a fire
    This is far, far from the East my G
    You far far away
    A real man, be really getting his fuckin' money, my nigga
    Why you stressed?

    [Verse 1: Daniel Caesar]
    I used to stand on the rocks, I used to stand on the rock
    On the Rock of Gibraltar

    He asked forgiveness a lot
    But I don't need God's forgiveness
    Can I get me a witness

    [Pre-Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
    I could cry, but I gotta pick my battles tonight, tonight
    I could cry, I'll be fighting for the rest of my life, my life

    Lay in your bed, reap what you sow
    Welcome to your paradise

    [Verse 2: Sean Leon]
    Do you wanna be your father? Or do you wanna take it farther
    Leave the woman that you'd break your heart for at the altar
    'Cause you were offered a life that you would trade your heart for
    Ain't gotta die to see heaven, I got your heaven nigga
    Would rather rev on an engine than ever reverend, nigga
    Black sheeps packing weapons in 911's, nigga
    How could worship be worth it?
    You love your God like yourself
    So you deserve to be perfect
    You deserve for your car to skrrt and your girl to be skirtless
    Fuck on a Saturday nigga, miss Sunday service
    You made you a hundred verses, a hundred verses
    That's why you need you a hundred virgins, a hundred virgins
    Yeah, you wear your crown with a frown somtimes
    You can't help but feel down at times
    You were raised in the basement
    You used to pray on your spaceship

    [Outro: Daniel Caesar]

    @Nena Frazier Are you that much of an intolarable little shit that you cant handle a simple line, although I guess not simple in your eyes? This is all I need to know to tell how extreme of a religious fanatic you are.

    A.... F....

    Nena Frazier stop being so fucking soft over a lyric

    A.... F....

    @basthejokester no ones attacking u for ur beliefs respect other peoples

    A.... F....

    @rihanna You realise this shows her true feelings right. She sounds exactly like a lot of black men that once a gay rapper like Tyler or Kevin abstract have a gay line they immediately have to stop the music and are so surprised. Even in this era of American history we have gay pride parades and people are still taken off guard by a simple rap lyric and the same for how she feels about atheisists or agonists. Shes so unfamiliar with these two groups that she would be uncomfortable with the idea of if she wanted children and her child was atheist let's say she would not accept her child like a parent if there child was gay. The same thing. She is so ignorant on the subjects that she has some held in beliefs about these groups that are untrue. This isnt about being respectful of peoples beliefs it's about understanding that everyone isnt like you. Which she hasn't accomplished yet.. People believe different things and grew up in different environments that have affected their world view then your own.

    A.... F....

    @rihanna one last thing I dont think I said but this tells you how many interactions shes had with atheists and agnostics which is zero. And never interacting with a group can make you have an obscured viewed of that group even though you never met a member of it where of course how discriminations come about. Like racist white people who have zero POC friends. They have certain beliefs from media without real interaction. This is the last thing I'm saying.

  48. d.... s....
