Suddenly the world stands still
|
Everything’s right
|
It’s like the universe aligns
|
Pinch me, is this for real?
|
I gotta know
|
It’s like we made our own paradise
|
Travelled like a million miles just to be here
|
It’s like we finally made it
|
Suddenly the world stands still
|
And it feel, feels like paradise
|
Yeah, ha, let’s take it back to 1995
|
I was just a youngin' tryna get my act right
|
Back then, who cared what we did in school?
|
All we ever really tried to do was act the fool, sorry Ma
|
I told you that I would get it together, you know
|
And thank you for helping me pay my rent in New York
|
And back then I promised you I would never be broke
|
We would never be broke, we would never be
|
Suddenly the world stands still
|
Think it’s just a record, this is just to keep it real
|
Spend my whole life tryna get it on my own
|
Back then, who woulda ever known? |
Now you know
|
Suddenly the world stands still
|
Everything’s right
|
It’s like the universe aligns
|
Pinch me, is this for real?
|
I gotta know
|
It’s like we made our own paradise
|
Travelled like a million miles just to get here
|
It’s like we finally made it
|
Suddenly the world stands still
|
And it feels, feels like paradise
|
Feels like paradise
|
I was 20 years old, one way flight
|
I was concrete dreaming New York City lights
|
I was all about the green, all up on the scene
|
Didn’t know 2 years later, I would meet my queen, sexy ma
|
But I was too young to get it together, you know
|
And just like a game of poker, I played with your heart
|
And back then, you promised me you’d be there from the start
|
You was there from the start and still here for me
|
Suddenly the world stands still
|
And right in the centre of it, that’s our Beni Beal
|
I just see 'em smiling at me, big brown eyes
|
My homies asked me, «How's that daddy life?» |
Paradise
|
Suddenly the world stands still
|
Everything’s right
|
It’s like the universe aligns
|
Pinch me, is this for real?
|
I gotta know
|
It’s like we made our own paradise
|
Travelled like a million miles just to be here
|
It’s like we finally made it
|
Suddenly the world stands still
|
And it feels, feels like paradise
|
Feels like paradise, oh, oh
|
So many times I cried me a river
|
Now every time I look in the mirror
|
I see somebody that fought for whatever is right
|
Oh, I been through the pain now, see so much clearer
|
Nothing can stop me, I will take on whatever
|
Oh, oh, ready, set go
|
Suddenly the world stands still
|
Everything’s right
|
It’s like the universe aligns
|
Pinch me, is this for real?
|
I gotta know
|
It’s like we made our own paradise
|
Travelled like a million miles just to be here
|
It’s like we finally made it
|
Suddenly the world stands still
|
And it feels, feels like paradise
|
Feels like paradise, oh, oh |
