      Facts all day.
      Damiens lyrics are 10000% written from the spiritual side of the veil.
      Soul music if you will.

    If anyone is to carry on Bob's message of Unity and Love, it would be his kids. Tears came to my eyes watching this. We lost The Legend way too young. They lost their Daddy way too young.

    [Verse 1: Stephen Marley]
    Hey!
    She loves to party, have a good time
    She looks so hearty, feeling fine
    She loves to smoke, sometimes shifting coke
    She's laughing when there ain't no joke
    [Chorus: Stephen Marley & (Background Singers)]
    (Pimpa's paradise!) That's all she was now
    (Pimpa's paradise!) That's all she was
    (Pimpa's paradise!) That's all she was now
    (Pimpa's paradise!) That's all she was
    [Verse 2: Damian Marley]
    'Cause coke was a thing that once she first try
    Was once a blue moon to once a blue sky
    Now she's wondering who else wants to go buy
    She don't got no money and wants to get high
    Story sounds familiar, like born to be wild, but she sillier
    Not quite the same, but she similar
    A waste of my sarsaparilla
    Used to look good in the videos, now she look hideous
    broken crack pipes with lipstick traces
    Walks the cold nights red district places
    She seen more hotels than my tour suitcases
    More male customers than Old Navy's
    She love lime light more than John Swaby's
    Seen more miles than a rental, Avis
    She don't slow down then some day maybe
    She lost and she can't find her way to safety
    [Chorus: Stephen Marley & (Background Singers)]
    (Pimpa's paradise!) That's all she was now
    (Pimpa's paradise!) That's all she was
    (Pimpa's paradise!) That's all she was now
    (Pimpa's paradise!) That's all she was
    [Verse 3: Damian Marley]
    For no reason a seasoned spliff was the first thing
    One spring season while she's out flirting
    Now she season me and don't need rehearsing
    Esteem get a beating, life is uncertain
    Ego need feeding, now the wants worsen
    Beneath the demons, she's a warm person
    When she's not fiending, swearing and cursing
    Behind the curtain, she's really hurting
    her people don't even trust her at home
    The dealer dem grin and cook the rocks down
    she without sin will spark the first stone
    The feeling kicks in, she's in the dark zone
    Old friends walk pass going 'bout their own
    As if she is someone that they don't know
    Then the King of All Kings lift her off the flo'
    Saying, "Life is a thing, when you learn you grow"
    [Chorus: Stephen Marley & (Background Singers)]
    (Pimpa's paradise!) That's all she was now
    (Pimpa's paradise!) That's all she was
    (Pimpa's paradise!) That's all she was now
    (Pimpa's paradise!) That's all she was
    [Outro: Damian Marley]
    She rise and she fall like a star
    Her life write off like a car
    Her face full all kinda scar
    Always quick fi start a war
    She can't keep herself up to par
    She plays like a broken guitar
    She always want take it too far
    I doubt she a-go make it too far
    She rise and she fall like a star
    Her life write off like a car
    Her face full all kinda scar
    She blamed dis a man box donger
    She can't keep herself up to par
    She plays like a broken guitar
    She always want take it too far
    Me wonder how she make it so far

    It's truly a hard life when you are chasing the very thing that is killing your soul. For me it was heroin. My eyes have seen things that no matter how long its been its still there. I am very blessed to have God's protection during those years and the music. Thats what kept me alive out in those streets. I shall never forget those who didn't make it out. RiP.

    So sad how drugs suck our soul out of us. Now that I am sober I can see how only thank to God I am alive and have the blessing to share with my family my days and nights. My kids are all I want. Last night my son asked me if what I wanted the most was to be married to someone I love. No what I want the most is to be always with them! I want to get a house for us. And everyday I feel so bad for once choosing to kill myself slowly instead of living. Love saved me.
    Blessings to everyone. Blessings..!

    She lost and can't find her way to safety
    [Chorus Repeats]
    [Black Thought]
    Check it out
    She keep her head up in the space like a satellite
    Because she got an insatiable appetite
    For staying out late nights with all the parasites
    Plotting on a way to cop a little piece of paradise
    Her dignity the only thing that she could sacrifice
    Just get the monkey off her back and she'd be back in line
    Five minutes she stay on the move,
    She'd done smoked up the stone that the builder refused
    All coked up alone, she ain't even in tune
    And it's sad cause she ain't really have a reason to use
    She was pretty girl
    Cleaner than the Board of Health
    Studied and enjoyed herself, I don't know what drove her to avoid herself
    Destroyed herself and took a taste of the yay'
    And now she on the track, working while she wasting away
    It's safe to say, she looking for a someplace to stay
    Who ever got a little paper to play
    Can get a slice of this...
    [Chorus Repeats]
    [Verse 2]
    For no reason a seasoned splif was the first thing

    Dey took HIM from wi, but he always knew that day would come so HE blessed us with many of HIS descendants. Robert lives forever in our spirits. HE IS the fire that burns and never to be put out. The more dey try, the more IT burns. Weak hearts will not succeed in anything, let alone to destroy that wich is most sacred and powerful in this world. Jah be with you, that on HIM we are broders.

    You now rocking with the best Black Thought from the legendary Roots crew in the flesh
    I slid up in here with the brothers from the Marley family
    Creston - we gon' say it for y'all
    Hey!
    She loves to party, have a good time
    She looks so hearty, feeling fine
    She loves to smoke, sometimes shifting coke
    She's laughing when there ain't no joke, hey
    That's all she was, now
    Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
    That's all she was
    Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
    That's all she was, now
    Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
    That's all she was
    'Cause coke was a thing that once she first try
    Was once a blue moon to once a blue sky
    Now she's wondering who else wants to go buy
    She don't got no money and wants to get high
    Story sounds familiar, like born to be wild, but she sillier
    Not quite the same, but she similar
    A waste of my sarsaparilla
    Used to look good in the videos, now she look hideous
    Now it's broken crack pipes with lipstick traces
    Work the cold nights red district places
    She seen more hotels than my tour suitcases
    More male customers than Old Navy's
    She love limelight more than John Swayze
    Seen more miles than a rental Avis
    She don't slow down then some day maybe
    She lost and she can't find her way to safety
    Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
    That's all she was, now
    Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
    That's all she was
    Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
    That's all she was, now
    Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
    That's all she was
    Check it out
    She keep her head up in the space like a satellite
    Because she got an insatiable appetite
    For staying out late nights with all the parasites
    Plotting on a way to cop a little piece of paradise
    Her dignity the only thing that she could sacrifice
    Just get the monkey off her back and she'd be back in line
    Five minutes she stay on the move
    She'd done smoked up the stone that the builder refused
    All coked up alone, she ain't even in tune
    And it's sad, 'cause she ain't really have a reason to use
    She was pretty girl, cleaner than the Board of Health
    Studied and enjoyed herself, I don't know what drove her to avoid herself
    Destroyed herself and took a taste of the yay'
    And now she on the track, working while she wasting away
    It's safe to say, she looking for a some place to stay
    Who ever got a little paper to play can get a slice of this
    Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
    That's all she was, now
    Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
    That's all she was
    Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
    That's all she was, now
    Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
    That's all she was
    For no reason, a seasoned spliff was the first thing
    One spring season while she's out flirting
    Now she season in and don't need rehearsing
    Esteem gets a beating, life is uncertain
    Ego need feeding, now the wants worsen
    Beneath the demons, she's a warm person
    When she's not fiending, swearing and cursing
    Behind the curtain, she's really hurting
    And while her people don't even trust her at home
    The dealer dem grin and cook the rocks down
    And she without sin will spark the first stone
    The feeling kicks in, she's in the dark zone
    Old friends walk pass going 'bout their own
    As if she is someone that they don't know
    Then the King of Kings lift her off the flo'
    Saying, "Life is a thing, when you learn you grow"
    Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
    That's all she was, now
    Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
    That's all she was
    Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
    That's all she was, now
    Pimpa's paradise (pimpa's paradise)
    That's all she was
    She rise and she fall like a star
    Her life write off like a car
    Her face full of all kinda scar
    Always quick fi start a war
    She can't keep herself up to par
    She plays like a broken guitar
    She always want tek it too far
    I doubt she a-go mek it so far
    She rise and she fall like a star
    Her life write off like a car
    Her face full of all kinda scar
    Always quick fi start a war
    She can't keep herself up to par
    She plays like a broken guitar
    She always want tek it too far
    Mi wonder how she mek it so far
    Woah (make it so far, make it so far)

    Stephen sounds so much like his dads early days and Damian is the new where would of where Bob was going,
    I always think that if Stephen would do more he would be such the passion in his voice is such unbelievable. Bob woulds be so proud of all his children and even Skip is starting to make another wave of new Reggae.

    I first really heard this song for the first time when I was getting addicted to opiates. I wasn't a pimpers paradise so to speak, unless you make the analogy of a pimp to the obsession and compulsion of addiction. I heard its message and chose to allow myself to get addicted regardless. behind the curtain she's really hurting, he'll yes, powerful.

    I have been saying for years how Marley's sons all have their own different part of their father. Ziggy is more of the 3 little birds, Is this love, the more melody makers type. Damian is very natty dred, war, rebel music. And Stephen is the love music like waiting in vain, you know those love songs and soul songs bob would sing. Ahh I love his sons. But Stephen is my favorite

    If you love this song you need to hear "Born to be Wild" in order to understand where he says "Like Born to be Wild, but she's sillier...not quite the same, but she's similar..." It'll give this song even more impact.
