Dark Paradise: Taylor Caniff

Go check out Granite Tops - Jack Johnson (JackandJack) Lyrics

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Alright, check me out

No, I don't claim to know the struggle cause I've never lived it

But life for me hasn't always been photogenic and perfect

Only I can make my own self determined

Not a parent, a preacher, a teacher, Jesus or verdict could over turn this

Willpower that I got got burning so deep inside of me trying to necessary like cursive

And no parents aren't divorced, my pops never vanished

They act like since I've always had Granite tops, that I take this shit for granted

Damn it

That isn't further from the truth

Who gives a damn if I was brought up astute

They say you don't have the financial problems all these real rappers do

And you ain't even bursting caps in dudes

And just because I have a passion for rapping the world expects me to?

Now that's the stupidest thing that I've ever heard

I'm just gone flip'em the bird

I'm waking up in the early morning now is a powerful work ethics so unheard of in this day and age I'll make my way regardless of the haters hatin'

Envy is a shameful trait sometimes I feel its no escape

From the scrutiny and judgment

And really its not

Its gonna keep comin' as long as the young'n is buzzin

Ah, so I just accept it and laugh

And as much as I love the cash, its so much deeper than that

Being iconic is what I'm striving for, I sleep and I snap

Into a new reality within my dreams

And then I wake up to the exact same thing cause recently my life has flipped 180° degrees

I was never the most confident of my friends

I remember down in my basement Sammy, Big Mike, and Biggs

They made me rap for them, threatening me with shit if I didn't

Low key making fun of me as I spit you know how it is

Probably thinking to themselves "you better stick to you day job"

But now the jokes on them cause that's exactly what this is, Yep

Gettin the types of girls I used to not

Kinda goes to show as an example how I'm used a lot

But no, I'm not complaining cause I don't got the moral compass of the gods

Honestly sometimes I fuck up, I'm just a human

Sometimes I'm out until the suns up

But that's just how it is when you're a young buck

Living on my own I'm only 18

Don't really llike the clubs much

I rather chill and puff one

But that's beside the fact

Hip hop heads be claiming I can't mess with them cause this and that

And the viners they have young girls for the fans

But man at least those girls love me just for who I am. Ah

I guess they'll never understand, its alright
