[Verse 1 : Doms Gauge]
I wanna live in paradise
But I don't even have a pair of dice to play with
On this journey I've learned that life is sacred
So I'm making sure none of my time is wasted
I'm tryna find my oasis
Same dream still tryna chase it
And if you wanna run the world
Then you can't just tie the laces
On your Nike's and Asics
Like Miles Davis, I was kind of blue
But when I write these tunes
I'm in my brightest mood
To be a king you gotta strategize your moves
But still sometimes you win, other times you lose
Yeah you gotta take that loss
Learn from it hustle harder it'll pay back off
And know that if you truly believe
The possibilities are endless to what you can achieve
I used to be at Paradise Park in the pool with the water slide there
Or we were skating doing tricks on the five stair
Now I'm on a different grind
Tell me will oasis be the way I see it in my mind
Or will it all be a joke
Will I get tricked by a mirage or a hoax
I don't know but as long as I walk on this road
I can promise to not lose my hope
[Hook : Doms Gauge & Annie Ness]
There's not a moment to waste
I've got my hope and my faith
So I know that one day I'ma make it
'cause I was put here to shine
When I put in the time
I'll be looking to find my oasis
And when I run the world
Will you run with me?
If I had two tickets to paradise
Would you come with me?
And when I run the world
Will you run with me?
If I had two tickets to paradise
Would you come with me?
[Verse 2 : Doms Gauge]
I wish I could go back
Back to when things weren't always hectic
On my Gameboy playing Pokemon and Tetris
And my Grandma bought me Mcdonald's breakfast
I miss that, I miss her
But she'd be proud if she could see me now
Up in this life gotta put on your game face
I wonder if her and my brother in the same place, yo
But really where do we go when we die
I guess that's a question that won't get replied
Guess we'll never know till its time
But I know its a blessing every morning that I open my eyes
Look, life's good but I can't say its perfect
One day I'ma live in a state of pure bliss
This is my world, my fate, my purpose
And I just began to scrape the surface
One things for certain
In order to find your happiness
First you gotta define what happy is
I know that's easier said than done
But when its all said and done
I'll be smiling after this
Because I do what I love
Hope my people that are gone have a view from above
I was taught to stay strong when this life drags you through the mud
I stand tall, I refuse to give up
[Hook : Doms Gauge & Annie Ness]
There's not a moment to waste
I've got my hope and my faith
So I know that one day I'ma make it
'cause I was put here to shine
When I put in the time
I'll be looking to find my oasis
And when I run the world
Will you run with me?
If I had two tickets to paradise
Would you come with me?
And when I run the world
Will you run with me?
If I had two tickets to paradise
Would you come with me?
[Verse 3 : Doms Gauge]
When I run the world will you run with me
Will you come with me
And keep me company
In a place that we can live comfortably
'cause we don't know how long we have left
So I'm giving every song my last breath
And can someone send god my address
'cause I can't seem to find heaven on this mapquest
[Bridge : Doms Gauge & Annie Ness]
At the end of day will we all meet our paradise?
And at the end of day you can be gone so just cherish life
At the end of day will we all meet our paradise?
And at the end of day you can be gone so just cherish life
[Hook : Doms Gauge & Annie Ness]
There's not a moment to waste
I've got my hope and my faith
So I know that one day I'ma make it
'cause I was put here to shine
When I put in the time
I'll be looking to find my oasis
And when I run the world
Will you run with me?
If I had two tickets to paradise
Would you come with me?
And when I run the world
Will you run with me?
If I had two tickets to paradise
Would you come with me?
