Suddenly the world stands still
Everything's right
It's like the universe aligns
Bitch, is this for real?
I gotta know
It's like we made our own paradise
Driving 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
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 a 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 we would never be broke
We will never be broke We will never be
Suddenly the world stands still Think it's just a record,
this is just to keep it real
Spent 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 Bitch,
is this for real?
I gotta know It's like we made our own paradise
Driving 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 dreamin',
New York City lights
I was all about the green,
all up on the scene Didn't know two 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 center of it,
that's our Benny Bill
I just see him smilin' at me,
big brown eyes My homie ask me,
how's that daddy life?
Suddenly the world stands still Everything's right
It's like the universe aligns Bitch,
is this for real?
I gotta know It's like we made our own paradise
Driving 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
So many times I cried me a river Now every time I look in the mirror
I see somebody who fought for whatever is right
Oh,
I've been through the pain,
I see so much clipper
Nothing can stop me,
I will take on whatever And he said,
hey
Suddenly the world stands still Everything's right
It's like the universe aligns Bitch,
is this for real?
I gotta know It's like we made our own paradise
Driving like a million miles Just to get here
Finally made it, suddenly the world stands still
And it feels,
feels like paradise
