The person that succeeds in anything has the realistic viewpoint in anyway
And knowing that the problem is large and he has to take it a step at a time
And he has to enjoy the step-by-step learning
Yo
This morning I wake in my greatness
So high I could fly in a spaceship
Are you awake yet? This world's usually down but this certainly ain't it
Maybe it's just the way that I paint it
Some days thinking I ain't shit, like right now
It's a gray Monday but the mundane takes my brain to a fun place, yeah
It's been a little while by now so I figure that I better just write this down
We locked eyes in a crowd
Back to the celebrating get down
Back to the dancing, party was pumping
Out of my mind but it's certainly something
Anyway I let go for a bit of chit-chat then up to the bar for a drink
"Fancy this glass of wine, my darling if you feel inclined?"
That's what I said first, then proceeded with "Should we take a step outside?"
I don't usually smoke
A couple beers down, yeah I don't usually smoke
Another round then card declined
And I remembered I'm usually broke
Am I jumping on this charge tonight?
Can I be bothered with words that lead to a bed with her
It's a feeling I can't discern
Guess I'll just see where it goes
And if I end up alone
It's no worries 'cause tomorrow there'll be plenty to take me home
I'll be in paradise
Take me to paradise
Fucking in paradise
Meet me in paradise
Know what to do tonight
'Cause she's been on my mind
Meanwhile I'll continue conversations
Let the drink decide
Yeah
Funny thing now, that's the name of the place that we just met
She told me her name not just yet
(I wonder if desire is bubbling up into subtext)
Nice name, Eastern flavored vibe
I take you like to get deep and me too, maybe we could just
Yeah, let me introduce myself, look
I'm the young wizard, it's nice to meet you
I'm good vibes, no E-flat vegan
Sorry I still eat meat, I play keys
And you might have even heard me on the speakers
Well any way that the wind blows
It never really mattered as long as I got my info
Can't be getting too attached, better ya let go
'Cause I can't really be dealing with girlie that a heart broke
This one seem different to me
Time will tell, yeah I guess we'll see
We vacated back to the place where I reside
Accompanied by girls and guys, drunk and high
Talking shite under lunar light
Laughing away
Stepped in the garden, sparking a J
Can't remember much in term of detail
But I hope I held it down despite the wave
"Well do you like J Dilla?"
I said "Of course I like J Dilla
There's a night at a jazz caf' next Friday
Like a tribute thing, you should come if you want, mate"
Anyway, as the sun ascended
It gets the part to the respective ends
And I was left with the contemplation
Not usually that type to go chasing
Am I jumping on this charge tonight
Can I be bothered with words that lead to a bed with her
It's a feeling I can't discern
Guess I'll just see where it goes
And if I end up alone
It's no worries 'cause tomorrow there'll be plenty to take me home
I'll be in paradise
Take me to paradise
Fuckin' in paradise
Meet me in paradise
Know what to do tonight
'Cause she's been on my mind
Meanwhile I'll continue conversations
Let the drink decide
I'll be in paradise
Take me to paradise
Fuckin' in paradise
Meet me in paradise
Know what to do tonight
'Cause she's been on my mind
Meanwhile I'll continue conversations
Let the drink decide
Friday night came round
It was a last minute decision, fuck it
I fought a little trying
Gonna give it time
Really isn't a time for being timid to listening to the state of it
As I made my way the preeza
For a well needed, we apply the cedar
Played a little drinking game and I was losing
Shit, well, time for the Uber
Yeah, we were the last two dancing
In the party, what were the chances
Not to mention that ass could be charged for arson
Burn shit down like it hardly matter
One thing led to another
Then another
Then another
As the months flew by I fell so hard I'm surprised that I'm still alive
