ruby stacks - paralysis lyrics
[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 n-body knows/
til this day that’s the diagnose, so i just take it easy/
last night, i almost ordered diet c-ke/
i lost my job over this sh-t, insurance don’t pay/
so much bullsh-t, i’m steady losing my faith/
is it fate, or just bad luck, [i] feel bigger than mack trucks/
but these factors, got my sh-t 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 sh-t/
feed me the monster, let my homies just grip on my sh-t 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
