Paradise
Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waking up in paradise, yah
I just got to roll my dice yah
That's a bad bitch I hit it twice
She recognize who is I
Waking up in paradise, yah
I just got to roll my dice yah
That's a bad bitch I hit it twice
She recognize who is I
Baby I got one night
Roll with me lets have fun tonight
Go to the ocean view
In the California coupe
Rocking Taylor on my shoes
Red n black infused
On her teeth with the ice
I got to roll my dice tonight
Check my own lane
Whippin' the California
I got a steady aim
For anyone tryin' to mess with my chain
For the fakes that I lost
End of the story I came up with a profit
432 stay positive
A lot of money
Pockets all swoll now
Shooters play with guns drawn
Like gta gun spawn
All we needs a car spawn
Never stay in the same plane
Always highed' up in a different place
Always succeed in a different way
Likes its Friday, I got to roll the dice when
Im in paradise
Waking up in paradise, yah
I just got to roll my dice yah
That's a bad bitch I hit it twice
She recognize who is I
Waking up in paradise, yah
I just got to roll my dice yah




That's a bad bitch I hit it twice
She recognize who is I

The fact that Rakim spun this track flawlessly on a comic character shows he's still one of the greatest ever. Hands down.

Kripta Kronic

Couldn't agree more.

Rakim

The Greatest

Samuel DC

Doesnt matter what you think of this series but the music is excellent

Ty Long Kicks

Samuel De Caluwe Season 2 better than season 1. Luke Cage is not as great as Daredevil or Punisher but it's a good series.

Hi-Def Ronin

Speak for yourself on that one

ExAlTeD pEnIe

Tyrone Long its better than punisher. The punisher is boring and to slow

ExAlTeD pEnIe

In contrast to the cliffhanger ending of Season 1, I found the ending of Season 2 to be very satisfying and make potentials for some interesting developments for Season 3. I would love to see how Luke handles being 'King' of Harlem and how he deals with the temptation of corruption. His father's last words to him (RIP Reg E. Cathey) is a warning and a test for Luke, that he has to face and endure the temptation of power in order to prove himself to be a true hero.
