Lil JJ Reynolds - Paul Story Lyrics

Fresh out the stomach came paul the human wrecking ball
Born and raised in a trailer park on crenshaw
His relatives took him under their wing and raised him
Taught him everything he needed to know on what to bring
To the world but he wasn't prepared for the mood swings
That would tie his feelings up like some shoe strings
Inside his brain as he grew but he grew up confused
Wondering why his parents weren't introduced
They loved him but were scared to break him with the sad news
But they knew that sooner or later they just had to tell him
When they did, (They saw a change in his attitude)
He was angry, shocked and truly saddened by the truth
It took a toll on his gratitude with a stench of abandonment
Trying to figure out where his parents went
To ask him why they dipped and why he wasn't good enough to be their son
He wondered, (was he a mistake) they tried to duck from
Without even telling him (Now he's stuck with the clues)
With no help to figure it out it's like he raised himself
Cause what he faced, (No-one) not even his relatives could help
Cause it was something that he had to heal within himself
But still he struggled with his life that was a living hell
It hit him hard when his papa died when he was twelve
He had no guidance to guide him on how to be a man
Or how to keep fighting whenever he blew his chance
On trying to make his life advance from his past trees
That hung his history behind his insecurities
Forgiveness was his enemy with no one's sympathy
After his brain snapped unexpectedly with extra speed thru heat
So he proceeded with the weed to relax
Then he started popping pills when he was insomniac
Had to make some extra cash so he started selling crack
Months later, (He was suffering) in a fatal relapse
Rehab was far from what he thought of in his whirlwind
Bipolar made it's unsettled appearance to kick in his system
But the music would stop him from him committing
An act of Satan's dirty work of reprehension
Cause ever since he's been a victim of the degradation
He would hate on his complexion causing separation
Between his mind and his creations as an sad musician
Til one day he sat up in the crib and started reminiscing
On what he's been through and what he had to fight thru
To proudly earning that diploma from his high school
From getting bullied constantly and being lied to
To building plenty of wisdom to fairly find truth
From being told what he won't ever amount to
To blocking critics with his lyrics that are soundproof
From a traumatic experience to a point to prove to others
That it's possible for any dream to come true

Fresh out the stomach came paul the human wrecking ball
Born and raised in a trailer park on crenshaw
His relatives took him under their wing and raised him
Taught him everything he needed to know on what to bring
To the world but he wasn't prepared for the mood swings
