Paradise Lyrics

[Intro: Cassie]
So high
Don't know what to do
'Cause I'm so shy
I'm fucking with you

[Verse 1: Cassie]
I know what I want now, no shade, no hatin'
But if that's your date then you need a replacement
No shade, no hatin', no lines, no waitin'
Loud body language, no conversations
Just meet me in the back of the room
When I found out that you're here
I wanted to do it here, I think we should vacay
You can be my souvenir

[Chorus: Cassie]
Yeah, 'cause kissin' you was very nice
The rest of you is paradise
Got me shakin' like a pair of dice
Body rollin' like a pair of dice
I be fuckin' with him every night
Fuckin' with him every night


[Verse 2: Cassie]
I know what I want now, no wait, no patience
Don't trip, won't say shit, private location
No shade, no hatin', your girl can't say shit
Loud body language, no conversations
Just let me do whatever with you
Give me some, I'm not scared
Give it back, yeah, I'll share
Vacation at my place, I can be your souvenir
[Chorus: Cassie & Wiz Khalifa]
Yeah, 'cause kissin' you was very nice
(Ta-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, uh)
The rest of you is paradise

[Verse 3: Wiz Khalifa]
I walked in through the back, can’t go through the front
My engine go in the back, trunk go in the front
She was givin' me brains while I was rollin' one up
When I shoot it, I score, when I hit it, she jump
Don’t see no keys when I’m pullin' up Keys
When I'm folding up, peace, let it roll about Wiz
Started going over seas and rolling up trees
I’m buying it all, I don’t like to tease her
Oh, you ain’t heard? I’m in the game
And I ain’t on stage, darling, but scream my name
So the next step's we go get a plane
Then we fly to a place where don’t nobody know us
Then I’m gonna wait to say what you want
Then I’m going in for a taste, especially below your waist
I got a plan for the place, I got a band for the case
You tell me play my cards right, I got a hand full of aces
Fucking with you every night, body looking very tight
And um...

[Chorus: Cassie & Wiz Khalifa]
The rest of you is paradise (Ta-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Got me shakin' like a pair of dice (Uh)
Body rollin' like a pair of dice
I be fuckin' with him every night
Fuckin' with him every night

[Outro: Cassie]
Paradise
Got me shakin' like a pair of dice
Paradise
Got me shakin' like a pair of dice
The rest of you is paradise

About

Genius Annotation

“Paradise” is a song by Cassie recorded for her debut mixtape RockaByeBaby. It features a verse from Wiz Khalifa, and it was the second track to be released from the project. In the visuals directed by Alex Nazari, Cassie rides through Los Angeles in an old-school Impala with Karrueche Tran, chills on a stoop with the Taylor Gang leader and their friends also including Jeremih and Problem, and swings by the local liquor store, looking fly every step of the way.

What did Cassie say about "Paradise"?
Genius Answer

“Working with Wiz is so much fun every time. He’s always smiling. I wanna be on whatever he’s on. He and Amber just had a baby, he’s just so happy. I want to shoot a visual for the majority of the records and I think that’s what the best delivery is to give a visual and music together because then you get to conceptualize and people get to understand what you meant when you made the record. I just want it to feel like our age. I want it to feel like us and our generation and not be forced. There’s so much stuff that gets forced on our generation. Finding your place in the world and making sure whatever you’re doing, you’re stamping it. I think that that’s the vibe with the visuals and the concept of the visuals and the music being a complete package.” – Cassie, April 2013

What has she said about getting Wiz on there singing halfway through his verse?
Genius Answer

“Yeah, his verse was so dope. I had been able to call in favors with people. Wiz has always been somebody that I wanted to work with because we shot a video a while back for him. It kind of just came back around, and I was glad I was able to use a favor on the ‘tape. He’s such a great person, and I’m glad we got to work on it.” – Cassie, April 2013

Has moving and travelling inspired Cassie's music at all?
Genius Answer

“Yeah, I shot both the “Numb” and “Paradise” videos in LA. With “Paradise,” I finished the record and then got Wiz [Khalifa] on the record. It just really reminded me of the Cali vibe to it. That’s how I kind of wanted to keep the video. Even though the mixtape is not about New Jack City, it’s been inspired by New Jack City, which is in New York. It’s like I brought two elements of my life together in LA and New York.” – Cassie, April 2013
