Have you seen paradise? Do you ever wonder how it feels like to live in a paradise? Have you ever wonder where it is? If I would ask you, would like to live in a paradise?

You know… I’ve been to paradise… paradise is like a two days travel from manila. The truth of its exact location…. Well its location is exactly where my grandfather’s house is situated. If I would describe it to you.. My grand father’s house is at a base of a mountain. It’s a really big house. If you will go out the terrace, you will be able to feel the ocean breeze and nature itself! If you’ll go out the house and take aprox, 50 steps, you’ll already be at the beach feeling the strength of the waves touching the sands =) Isn’t that paradise?! For me it is…

However, a paradise is not a paradise without your love ones. You know, what makes that paradise a complete and perfect paradise is my cousins and titas all together in one roof. Just being with them in that place makes me feel that life is beautiful and that I have to live it to the fullest!!!



Every one has his own paradise and God Blessed us with them… the thing is... you have to find it on your own.

I dig my toes into the sand, the ocean looks like  A thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket

I lean against the wind Pretend that I am weightless

And in this moment I am happy.



I lay my head onto the sand, the sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it

I'm counting UFOs, I signal them with my lighter

And in this moment I am happy.



The world's a rollercoaster and I am not strapped in

Maybe I should hold with care while my hands are busy in the air saying



I, wish you were here  I, wish you were. I, wish you were here

I, wish you were here. I, wish you were Here



Wish you were here…..

A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind  So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times  I once contemplated suicide, and woulda tried  But when I held that 9, all I could see was my momma's eyes.  No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble  Not knowin it's hard to carry on when no one loves you  Picture me inside the misery of poverty  No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived  Prayin hard for better days, promise to hold on  Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on  We found a family spot to kick it  Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit  A spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G's  We still visualize places, that we can roll in peace  And in my mind's eye I see this place, the players go in fast  I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thug's mansion

A place where death doesn't reside, just thugs who collide Not to start beef but spark trees, no cops rollin by No policemen, no homicide, no chalk on the streets No reason, for nobody's momma to cry See I'm a good guy, I'm tryin to stick around for my daughter But if I should die, I know all of my albums support her This whole year's been crazy, asked the Holy Spirit to save me Only difference from me and Ossie Davis, gray hair maybe Cause I feel like my eyes saw too much sufferin I'm just twenty-some-odd years, I done lost my mother And I cried tears of joy, I know she smiles on her boy I dream of you more, my love goes to Afeni Shakur Cause like Ann Jones, she raised a ghetto king in a war And just for that alone she shouldn't feel no pain no more Cause one day we'll all be together, sippin heavnly champagne What angels saw, with golden wings in thug's mansion

Dear momma don't cry, your baby boy's doin good Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook Drippin peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke Then some lady named Billie Holiday Sang sittin there kickin it with Malcolm, 'til the day came Little LaTasha sho' grown Tell the lady in the liquor that she's forgiven, so come home Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band Just think of all the people that you knew in the past that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last Picture a place that they exist, together There has to be a place better than this, in heaven So right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm askin Remember this face, save me a place, in thug's mansion

Every corner, every city  There's a place where life's a little busy  Little Hennessy, laid back and cool  Every hour, cause it's all good  Leave all the stress from the world outside  Every wrong done will be alright  Nothin but peace, love  And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion
