PARALYSIS

Broke my neck at the sugar, honey don't bother
Next day I woke up, couldn't feel a thing
In and 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, 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

Paralysis
Move when you gotta move
Move when you gotta move

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, slam dunk I'm the man
After the free throw, 2 for 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

Paralysis
Move when you gotta move
Move when you gotta move

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

Paralysis
Move when you gotta move
Move when you gotta move

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

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
