“I run with the purp like I play with the Ravens/These b*tches rant and rave/I hope I never have to go back watching/Everybody Loves Raymond/Eating ramen, n***a, this paradise/Life’s a f***ing paradox and pair of dice/If they not rolling with you, then they parasites n***a/I had that vision, it was ClearSight, n***a/Sean Don.” from “Paradise”
