Early, early morning rise gotta get up can’t snooze / Shake myself off, sleep leave my eyes alone,
I take a look around my little town slowly coming together now / It still ain’t much and it’s lacking such and such and such,
But it’s my Paradise / Heat is broken again, cold night cold morning, And the water’s dripping this drip-drop won’t stop /
Outside I hear sirens screaming, another one bites the dust / And inside these mice keep whispering saying “I man dem
nuh trust” / And as I face this ungrateful world I must, Give thanks for this roof above my head might not be much,
CHO: But it’s my Paradise, Paradise, It’s my Paradise, Paradise so I man celebrate / Inna my Paradise, It’s my Paradise
On the road I push, time to do battle with this traffic / Every morning it’s the same story, when some people gonna learn /
Ain’t nothing hard to this thing foot to the pedal and accelerate (Drive yuh car!) / One on the right is the right one no brakes
no brakes, Red lights before me now, I’m late
Good morning boss – Good morning boss, No answer / Good morning boss – Good morning boss, Little fake smile /
Co-worker looking all pleased with himself as if he’s done something right / I have a right hand fi wipe a little piece of him
smile / But a Friday so me naah fight / Tick-tock, tick-tock come on five o-clock, little slimmas coming over tonight
Keys in the door all kind of movement from within, wah- dis? / Ben and him family scurry them scurry scurrying taking over
my Paradise / Planning to overthrow me real soon, But me naah fight / Rpt. Chorus
