[Verse One]

I broke my neck at the sugar, honey don't bother/

Next day I woke up, couldn't feel a thing/

In 'n' out the hospital just to see these bright lights flicker/

Distinct smells, how to make this caged bird sing?!/

Pokin' sticks in my body, on the phone with shorty like:/

"It's gon' be fine, but define fine?" ... Ain't nobody knows/

Til this day that's the diagnose, so I just take it easy/

Last night, I almost ordered diet coke/

I lost my job over this shit, insurance don't pay/

So much bullshit, I'm steady losing my faith/

Is it fate, or just bad luck, [I] feel bigger than Mack trucks/

But these factors, got my shit closed like padlocks/

Now it's harder just to get up these stairs, that's the backdrop/

I need somethin' good in my life, like a jackpot/

Or a ton of gasoline and a matchbox/

Outside, I smoke a whole pack, until that track stops/ now I got

[Chorus]

Paralysis (yeah) Move when you gotta move, move when you gotta move (son) [4x]

[Verse Two]

I never sleep long, gargoyles on my chest in the night/

They choke me with stone fingers, I can't put up a fight/

I was eleven years old, playing hoops , I'm the champ/

Grew up to 6'4", grabbed the ball, slamdunk I'm the man/

After the freethrow, 2/2, picked up the weed tho'/

It helped me breathe yo, watching the ways of Carlito/

My ego grew out of proportion, facing mad distortion/

Thoughts of arson, extortion on my way to fortune/

Picked up some bad friends, well, they wasn't bad, they my mans/

But the plans that we had, were in fact way off the map/

Can't reach that goal, by skipping steps/

.... so i tried a job, just to get the stacks/ but now i got

[Chorus]

Paralysis (yeah) Move when you gotta move, move when you gotta move, move when you gotta move (son) [4x]

[Verse Three]

That's a year down the line, now my hand don't work/

I'm sitting on a bit of money and i got that urge/

To splurge, and shock circuits like a lightning surge/

I been destined to do this since my ma gave birth/

Whats it worth to be healthy and walking?

Or sparking an ill verse from the darkness/ I just do it regardless/

So much more than a disease, they used to call me an artist/

I called the demon "Stacks", despite it all, this ruby is flawless/ I got...

[Chorus]

Paralysis (yeah) Move when you gotta move, move when you gotta move, move when you gotta move (son) [4x]

[Verse Four]

The reaper my friend, 'cause I don't run from anything/

I hear these sirens sing, they can't get a grip on my ship/

I'm roaming the city, tryna get a grip on my shit/

Feed me the monster, let my homies just grip on my shit and march to the grave...

[Outro]

Times running out, conscious in and out/

Been battling demons, finally winning now/

Well endowed, but when in doubt, just look to the clouds/

Know there ain't no god and its just love, life's about/

-

Man, woman and child, my message before i slip away/

Into a lonely dream, ain't no MLK/

I used to love the pain, now i love today/

Lets find peace and let the children play/ before they get paralysis
