Arv - Price of Paradise (feat. P-KOA) Lyrics
Official




Ua Mau ke Ea o ka 'Āina i ka Pono o Hawai'i
Beautiful day in Hawaii Nei
The blue skies to match the ocean
As the Palm Trees sway
Just another day in Paradise the locals say
Working a double as usual to live another day
One job for the bills, another for the essentials
And a side hustle for investments in your potential
Maybe something special for the other half,
Maybe some joints and some beer with the fam for some good laughs
Thinking about some blasts from the past
Accepting the fact that we might
Never ever get it back.
Cause the island will never be the same again
[00:41.72]Due to Money, Greed, and Land Development. So imma, say this again.[00:45.65]
[00:45.96]It's just another day in Paradise. But what is the Price of Paradise? I be pushing through the struggle day by day[00:57.00]
In a place I call home but how long
Can I stay before my home
Gets consumed by the Price of.Paradise
Forced to leave and start another life
I be pushing through the struggle day by day
In a place I call home but how long
Can I stay before my home
Gets consumed by the Price of.Paradise
Forced to leave and start another life
I'm driving home down on the coastline
Doing 45 on the highway,
A light pops up on my gas gauge,
The fuel running low like my morals,
[01:23.83]Gotta stop and fill up before I arrive at home. I pull up, look up at the display one gallon 3.89[01:30.22]
Fill it up 20 dollars at a time,
Barely reaching up the halfway line
For work, this'll only last me 3 days time
So I proceed on home down the coastline
Pull into the neighborhood, looking for parking
Down the street hoping that my car doesn't get jacked.
[01:44.17]Or maybe even a ticket at that. So I just park it, lock it, and get to walking home[01:48.93]
Alone at sunset the sky be turning red
As I'm walking up my staircase
Easily over 2k to split a place with 5 other families
In the same household, a hell of a deal, that we gotta hold
Just to maintain a place to stay
I just walk through the door, and see the stains
On the carpet that's older than me,
As the hinges on the white door creaks,
The small roof leak, from last weeks storm
The landlord refuses to fix right over the bathtub.
As I freshen up, in a room all filled with deterioration.
All around corners and edges, deep thinking that the
[02:21.12]Struggle is never ending. Feels like it never ends. But you see.[02:28.42]
I just keep pushing through the struggle day by day
In a place I call home but how long
Can I stay before my home
Gets consumed by the Price of.Paradise
Forced to leave and start another life
I be pushing through the struggle day by day
In a place I call home but how long
Can I stay before my home
Gets consumed by the Price of.Paradise
Forced to leave and start another life
