Paradise Lost - Crucifix, Cool Breeze

I can barely breathe

Living in this Paradise Lost

Everything I see around me

Is just this chaos that I’ve caused

My past is a burden behind me I can never take back

With consequences that way way outweigh their weight in crack

Up when it’s sunny, about that money

Sittin' on the corner with a fire snow bunny

One hellafied rock, part raw, part dummy

For the first bad junkie that’ll come and get it from me

I sack blow, stack dough, trying to stack that status quo

Even though that status don’t change a damn thing for the pain I’ve sold

I’m rippin' and running my mind until my heart is raw

Thinking that once it’s calloused I won’t feel at all

The pain’s so steady… hurt’s so heavy

Sittin' on my chest like a two ton Chevy

I’m ready to bust like a New Orleans levy, just wishing' a motherfucker would

kill me already

Don’t give a fuck what your Pops said!

Steady bumpin' at the gums will get you shot dead

Go ahead and lose your temper like a hothead

I’m gonna open up your mind like a pot-head… nuff said

Don’t give a fuck what you’ve been through

'Cause I done got a couple homies in the pen too

I’ll put that dot up on your head like a Hindu

And still kill it with a pistol and a pen too… I sin too

But if the gift I was given and life that I’m living ain’t pointing to Heaven

24/7 then what’s the point of repenting?

Because the only path back to the Paradise Lost is a journey that begins at the

foot of the cross

I can barely breathe

Living in this Paradise Lost

Everything I see around me

Is just this chaos that I’ve caused

Now up early in the morning, up in Regency Park

We bout to get this thing crunk before it gets dark

I got fifteen sacks, and two fresh 0's…

Fifteen sacks and two 0's are gonna get sold

About five of them dimes of that mid gon' get blowed

By the time we shut it down my pockets gon' be on swole

When them suckers see these hubbas we jumping' it’s gonna explode

When they see that kush we pushin' out front, it’s ton' explode

Anybody come around here that’s askin' for me

I’m gon' give them suckers that Fila print off my feet

And I better not see that sucker up at Central Station

Man I better not see that sucker passin' the Marta Station

Look here, I’m gonna tell ya right now, I can fight man

Bwoi I hit you one time, you’ll be like «Aight man!»

Now if I hit you two times it’ll be «Goodnight man!»

Nigga I’ll whoop on your ass like the white man

I can barely breathe

Living in this Paradise Lost

Everything I see around me

Is just this chaos that I’ve caused
