Welcome to Planet Paradise, where, we have the best arts in the Milky Way (Planet Paradise)
Planet Paradise (Planet Paradise, Planet Paradise baby)
The baby daddy's back
Your baby daddy's back
Oh, God, shout out to the squad
Real niggas dying every day, we pray to God
Real niggas dying every day, we pray to God
Oh, God, shout out to the squad
Real niggas dying every day, we pray to God
Oh, God, shout out to the squad
Real niggas dying every day, we pray to God
See, I rock GoldLink with my fur black mink
Scottsdale beep, kick it with a low-down freak
Got her wilding pop pop, off to college, got her hollering
Calling out my name, unless she really says she all up in
Push the chang out, brought my kick game out
Brought it back to '96, the first 12s came out
Had to call my niggas, cooling it with my kickers
Had to call my connect, had to show my respect
And we next to take the throne, now I gotta keep up
Bad bitch keeper, I don't think I deserve
But I gotta keep her, eat her like my desert
'Cause I'm cooling it while my niggas roll the reefer
Used to Pac compare me but I beg to differ
Flow shift, switch, got a tame it like a bitch
I hit, I split that shit, lickidy whip
I went straight in, who can go in like me?
Rocking and rocking up on the beat
And my neighbors hit my door 'cause they hear me when they sleep
Fuck with the elite, while I kick it, Bruce Lee
Fuck a CMB, I'm circled with the winners of the DMV
Flip the torch ad well of course I had to take your bitch, nigga
You was loafing, I was pimping, then I ask myself
Mirror mirror on the wall
How many sucka motherfuckas do I call and
And as the sun rise as I go to sleep
I hit the creep creep after dinner with your bitch
Fucked her on your bed while I skeeted on your sheets
And I'm so discreet, beat it by the beat
Tell my nigga please
Oh, God, shout out to the squad
Real niggas dying every day, we pray to God
Oh, God, shout out to the squad
Real niggas dying every day, we pray to God
Oh, God, shout out to the squad
Real niggas dying every day, we pray to God
Oh, God, shout out to the squad
Real niggas dying every day, we pray to God
Gimme the gimme the bucks and I'ma stuff 'em in my trunk
And I'ma hit 'em with that 40 clip cal pump
What the fuck is up nigga, fuck your whole team
Done taking shots, living lavish my team
Never sell a dream, shit ain't what it seems
Popping and popping and load a pistol steady cocking at you demons
While you're trying to catch my semen
I ain't into twatching and the Tweeting and your cheating
Rather catch your ass slipping in the streets, approach the scene
And then I cuff ya, I bust ya
Rolling up the tree and then I cuff ya, I snuff ya
Fucking up your waves, cut off all your dreads
Then you catch your girl up in the alley giving head
Shit is crazy when you beefing
Don't cry, dry your eyes
The hero's here nigga
Now the city's all mine
Flow go through your spine
Never wine and dine
You heard the last song so you know the bitch is fine
Oh, God, shout out to the squad
Real niggas dying every day, we pray to God
Oh, God, shout out to the squad
Real niggas dying every day, we pray to God
Oh, God, shout out to the squad
Real niggas dying every day, we pray to God
Oh, God, shout out to the squad
Real niggas dying every day, we pray to, God
GoldLink's song "Planet Paradise" is a trap-infused hip hop track that is all about living life to the fullest and enjoying the fruits of one's labor. The track opens with the line "Oh GoldLink spank me like you hate me", which is likely a reference to how the artist feels about his own success. He feels that he has worked hard to get where he is and that he deserves to enjoy it.
The chorus of the song, which repeats throughout, is "Welcome to Planet Paradise, where we have the best arts in the Milky Way". This line is a reference to the idea that GoldLink's lifestyle is out of this world, and that he is living a life that others can only dream of. The repetition of the phrase "Planet Paradise" in the chorus creates an almost hypnotic effect that draws the listener in and makes them feel like they are part of GoldLink's world.
The verses of the song are all about GoldLink's experiences and his thoughts on various topics. He talks about everything from his fashion sense to his relationships with women to the violence that takes place in his community. Throughout it all, he maintains a sense of confidence and swagger that is characteristic of the trap genre.
