Verse 1
Dear mother, can you hear me whinin`
its been 3 whole weeks since that i have left your home
this sudden fear has left me tremblin`
cuz now it seems that i am at here on my own, and im feelin` so alone
Chorus
Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
some call it slum some call it nice
i wanna take you through a wasteland i like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise
Verse 2
A gunshot rings out at the station
another urchin snaps and left here on his own
it makes me wonder why im still here
for some strange reason its now feelin` like my home, and im never gonna go
Chorus
Verse 3
