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 move and the games you played She finally made all her dreams come true and then she screamed Oh no, this aint paradise Oh no, this aint paradise Oh no, this aint paradise, yeaahh Oh no, this aint paradise Oh no, this aint paradise Oh no, this aint paradise 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 move, they speaking your name And oh, all over the late night local news I heard him scream Oh no, this aint paradise Oh no, this aint paradise Oh no, this aint paradise Oh no, this aint paradise Oh no, this aint paradise Oh no, this aint paradise I say the sun don't shine forever (oh oh oh oh oh) And everything that glitter aint gold I say love don't love forever (oh oh oh oh oh) And everything that's new gets old Sometimes we try to find the road to the riches, Need roadside assistance Blisters on my knees From begging for forgiveness Aint no dollars on my trees But mileage on my feet Cuz I been climbing to the peak And running from the bullshit I'm tired of hearing the same song Who told the DJ to 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 Call me crazy, I been called worse It's like I have it all, but what's it all worth? (haha) I'm probably better in my afterlife I should cherish life but this aint paradise Oh no, this aint paradise Oh no, this aint paradise Oh no, this aint paradise This aint paradise No this aint paradise This aint paradise
