NIGHTMARES IN PARADISE

They are mental illnesses that can be fixed, maybe without medicines
You know the medicine fixes the issue once or twice
Or three times, then all of a sudden on the fourth time or the fifth time
The medicine doesn't work anymore, and the issue just gets worse
Because, you know they never address the problems in the first place
So they just get put on more medicine until they're no longer themselves

Little cuz tried to kill himself last night, last night, last night
What the fuck Is he really like that's life? That's life, that's life
Smuggled drugs in the villa but it backfired, backfired, backfired
Somebody help him I don't want him feeling chastised, chastised (chastised)
This ain't a tale that I'm telling round a Camp fire

This ain't for record sales homie, no I can't lie -
Heard him throwing up and I ain't talking 'bout no gang signs
Had his stomach pumped, we was worried he would flat line (flat line)
Shit rocked him I ain't talking bout a crack pipe
Pill popping I was talking to him that night

Tell me why the fuck you doing that you better act right?
Wait! (Wait!) I think he need help, he was trying to hang
Didn't think he mean belts
I was with the fam and he didn't seem well
Saw him thinking about a plan but it didn't seem swell
It was hell for him (it was hell for him)

Yeah, they gonna miss this man
Putting pressure on 'em just like a resistance band
Ain't the gift he need, they better cancel Christmas plans
Feeling like he doesn't fit in why he grooves

Ay, ay, oh should be running for the hills
Yo, how the fuck we gone build though
If everybody on 'em pills bro?
Skin feel like it got parasites
That's nightmare in paradise
That's a nightmare in paradise
Couple years back was it very nice
Now it's a nightmare in paradise

In a land where we popping pills by the milligrams
Understand that they tryna kill us
Bunch of suicidal zombies and it's all by design
Pill popping got us falling yet we watching 'em rise
Who? The demons who sell us bottles it's not by surprise

The illuminated ones with the all seeing eyes
Stole the symbol from the ancient Egyptians
Behold the riddles in the pages of scriptures
Need to dethrone 'em quick or it's the age of extinction
Gotta keep going, don't think that I'm able to witness this shit any further

We getting murdered ball in our court what's the verdict
Sell us another pill when we nervous
So big Pharma make another trillion in earnings
Obey we servants the shit disturbing so how we flourish in this?

We all go through personal shit
Hence, why all the zanies and the percs will exist
And the Valium in them tablets make us purchase 'em quick
If you never felt worse they gone slip
You another mix of the syrup that you're so thirsty to drink that's it

Ay, oh, should be running for the hills
Yo, how the fuck we gone build, though
If everybody on 'em pills bro?
Skin feel like it got it parasites
That's nightmare in paradise
That's a nightmare in paradise, eh
Couple years back was it very nice
Now it's a nightmare in paradise
