[Intro: Talib Kweli]
Break it down break it down break it down
Break it down break it down break it down
Break it down break it down break it down like
Hey! Hey! Baby you want?! Baby you want?!
Baby you want?!

[Redman] (Talib Kweli)
Redman in the building! (Yeah Yeah!)
With DJ EFN what's good my nigga?!
(Aiyyo EFN! You know how I get down man!)

[Verse One: Talib Kweli]
I'm the paradise architect you be paralyzed off the rip
My heart dark as the blackest pimp I'm the Cadillac with the tints
They try to squint, just to see inside what is it like to be alive
I killed the track just to see it die, where the +CSI+?
I don't need the game the game need me
‘Cause they got more defects than the KGB
When it's proper for us to reflect you probably gonna deflect
The poverty that we see all America like a reject
I ain't gotta leak it you pay attention you peep it
You waited for some leader, the truth is never a secret
It's gotta be online or a TV for you to see it
And even if you see it you never really believe it
You ain't never gotta question if I say it then I mean it
+Rock The Boat+ like Aaliyah, the flow is gettin you seasick
I die every night then I'm born again like a fetus
Get heavenly every week and hit paradise for the weekend

[Chorus: Wrekonize] (Sample from "The Sweetest Pain" by Dexter Wansel)
Every other city that we roam, and every day I'm here to grow old
What do I call this place I know? (It's paradise!)
Every day is like a country road, everybody sees peace in droves
What do we call this place we know? (It's paradise)

[Verse Two: Wrekonize]
I woke up early in the afternoon
Expectin life to be disaster soon, but sun kept me up way past the moon
Daily grind halted, scrambled eggs salted
My soul catapulted just to greet the high exalted
Who keeps my world spinnin through the glass ceiling?
Some say higher power, but I truly have a feeling it's me
I keep my eyes locked on the sea 
for knowing how far I go if I just keep bein free
Where you've been lately? I've been halfway around the planet
Tryna learn the language of the lavish, goddammit
Risin with the tide to keep from goin all manic
And holdin down the fort for family if I so plan it
Paradise, give me the signal from the satellites
To broadcast around the bend where it ain't half as nice
Me and my people found Zion and packs of rice
Come join us for the last supper, cause it happens twice

[Chorus: Wrekonize] (Sample from "The Sweetest Pain" by Dexter Wansel)
Every other city that we roam, and every day I'm here to grow old
What do I call this place I know? (It's paradise!)
Every day is like a country road, everybody sees peace in droves
What do we call this place we know? (It's paradise)

[Verse Three: Redman]
Check it out, yo
Now, my paradise? Pounds of the best bud
Everything topless, Hefner
Cars, women, before Art Simmons
Red was diggin, all in women's skins like Dexter
Yessir, I'm gettin better
Every paragraph is like the staff of Team Mayweather
Hard work show you paradise
Or you could luck up, and get a paradise from a pair of dice
Legalize it, lightin the Isaac
Hayes, fuck chokin when you hit it girl, you need the Heimlich
Timeless lyrics for art thou, I'm your highness
You can touch the sky by hearin these airliners
I'm a poster child for bein so endowed
Women treat me like a court case, blow trial
Slam the hammer, I've been acquitted
Car sick, and I've been admitted
Redman and DJ EFN on your FM
The check's in, then this another job for the X-Men
Create my paradise of life goals
Keep the +Hot 9+ on me like Ebro, nigga

[Chorus: Wrekonize] (Sample from "The Sweetest Pain" by Dexter Wansel)
Every other city that we roam, and every day I'm here to grow old
What do I call this place I know? (It's paradise!)
Every day is like a country road, everybody sees peace in droves
What do we call this place we know? (It's paradise)

[Redman - over Chorus]
Man, fuck you! You already know nigga
I'm not gon' stop smokin right now nigga
I'ma keep on smokin 'til I see paradise nigga!
Brick City, Redman, DJ EFN
You already know nigga, let's go!
