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 be 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
