"Fall From Paradise" lyrics

Paradise (Figure I should do this)
Paradise (Are you still listening?)
Paradise
You know what's it gonna be like when I ain't doing this music thing anymore?

It's hard to explain a fall from paradise was meant to be
(Not gonna be going on tours or shows every other weekend)
Disbelief showed in their eyes, counting out his distant cries
(Like when are people gonna start saying "Oh Class? Yeah. He's fallen off")
Yeah
It's hard to explain a fall from paradise was meant to be (Yeah, oh)
(I know the way the world work)
Disbelief showed in their eyes, counting out his distant cries
(Yo, put this up in a couple years)
Listen (Yeah)

I know that everything that goes up, must come down (Yeah)
And everybody with luck, must run out (Yeah)
Ya, so now I'm contemplating, like 'what's up now'
The music thing is all gone, but I'll suck it up proud
I did more than I imagined, tours I couldn't fathom
Broke down doors for sure, I let 'em have it
If any opportunity came, I had to grab it
Any goals set, I rose, then ran past it
Not a superstar and never wanted that
But I did sign some autographs on some groupies' ass
Smoked a lot of free weed from St. John's to BC
They came out the wood work, to see me speak
That was paradise

It's hard to explain a fall from paradise was meant to be
(I know the way the world work)
Disbelief showed in their eyes (yeah), counting out his distant cries
It's hard to explain a fall from paradise was meant to be
(I ain't close to bein' finish)
Disbelief showed (yeah) in their eyes (yeah), counting out (listen) his distant (yeah) cries

I went through all types of bullshit, the story go way back
And I'm proud of myself now, though its corny to say that
Hip hop in Enfield was really non existence
Parents thought I was a fad, Dad I gone the distance
I tried to make a difference, I kept workin' off persistence
No one paid attention, now I talk and they listen
Emcees are often dissin', like I'm the man to beat
Ya I met a lot of rap stars that still a fan of me (Yeah)
I rock shows with Busta, had songs in his movie
A chicken with Luda, conversated with some doobie
I drank with Buck Shot (Yeah), and DJ Evil D (Yeah)
I did songs with Maestro, and smoked hash with Keith Murray
I love hip hop, 'cause it made me who I am
It gave me confidence, and it made a honest man
This is paradise, and I found a promise land
So now I'm chillin and enjoyin' my accomplishments
It's paradise

It's hard to explain a fall from paradise was meant to be
(I know the way the world work)
Disbelief showed in their eyes (yeah), counting out his distant cries
It's hard to explain a fall from paradise was meant to be
(I ain't close to being finished)
Some of them believed in him (nope), some just walked away (yeah, yeah)

Now a couple years after this drop, I'll probably flop
But that's the way it goes when you get on the top
I'm talkin 'bout Canada, yo this industry's a joke
I'm a Canadian rap star, and kid I'm still broke
But I ain't work in years, and some think I'm famous
While other people ask when the hell I'm gonna make it
I'm good where I'm at, keep the glamour and the glitz
I don't run from my fans, 'cause my stamina is shit
I appreciate the heads, the critics, and the haters
I know I miss the ref, the bitches and the breakers
The tours, the shows, promoters and the assholes
The beats and the rhymes, 'cause that's all that Class knows
That was paradise

It's hard to explain a fall from paradise was meant to be
(I know the way the world work)
Disbelief showed in their eyes (yeah), counting out his distant cries
It's hard to explain a fall from paradise was meant to be
(I ain't close to being finished)
Some of them believed in him (nope), some just walked away
(I-I-I ain't close to being finished)
It's hard to explain a fall from paradise was meant to be
Disbelief showed in their eyes (yeah), counting out his distant cries
It's hard to explain a fall from paradise was meant to
Some of them believed in him, some just walked away
