fighting for my life in paradise

Ice Cube

Feels so good livin that life
Yeah, this for the big homies
Givin that game, you dig? Yeah

I m fightin for my life in paradise
All we got in life is a pair of dice
I m fightin for my life in paradise
All we got in life is a pair of dice

Today was a good day, but it could be better (Yeah)
It s hard to try to make your heart light as a feather
Everything is hard (Hard) , everybody s hard (Hard)
In some kind of way (What?) , everybody s scarred (Yep)
Don t pull my card, ain t tryna beef (Nah)
No more grief, I m just lookin for relief
I don t give a damn if they lyin
through they teeth (Don t give a damn)
Everybody know I m the motherfuckin chief (Everybody)
In my tepee smokin on this leaf (Yeah)
Or in them floor seats with my son Shareef (Hey)
Or with my wife Kim, I m not like them (No)
Everybody know I spit em out like phlegm
I play above the rim, they stuck on the ground
Been tryna bring me down since I put on the crown
Mad cause my frown is upside down
And niggas still tryna be Homey the Clown
I clown they ass and drown they ass
Why they still talkin about my past?
Tellin all my people when I talked to em last
Mad cause I m seein up under the mask
Game, a portrait of a thousand pictures
Flippin riches in front of a thousand snitches (Right)
Slick back, slidin with a thousand bitches, huh

And I m fightin for my life in paradise
All we got in life is a pair of dice
I m fightin for my life in paradise
All we got in life is a pair of dice

Yeah, I m talkin to you
Let me break it down in layman s terms the things you do
Too much, drop-top, stickin the clutch
Just dippin on my Dayna Danes livin it up
I live life nice (Nice) , I never think twice (Twice)
I just keep it gangsta in this paradise (Paradise)
In this paradise, shine like ice, twice as nice
There really ain t too much to say
Besides livin your life and stayin out the way
Man, fuck these bitches (Right)
And fuck these snitches
And every single one of these punk-ass niggas
64 Impala, a scholar or Rottweiler, baller, bitch
Iguodala with dollars up in the islands
Monster MAC, with bosses in the back off yac
Cock em back and react

I m fightin for my life in paradise
All we got in life is a pair of dice
I m fightin for my life in paradise
All we got in life is a pair of dice

Alright, I m gon shoot these motherfuckers, you understand?
I m gon shoot, but I better not crap, that s all I know
I just better not crap
Come on, six, with your funky ass
I ve been waitin for you all night
