Just Paul Wall Songtext
von Paul Wall

Paul Wall, I′m the People's Champ
It ain′t easy bein' the People's Champ
(It′s the new me, new me, new me)
Got a lot of struggles I′ve been through and still going through
Let me show you what it's like to be me

I′m not your average guy, I'm more than meets the eye
I know I′m friendly and fly, but let me tell you why
I was abandoned at an early age
My daddy was a dope fiend, I ain't seen him since the second grade

I sing the same song, baby dad, single mom
I was always in the crawl, yet and still I was alone
I kept my faith in God, even in my younger days
I gave my life to Christ, got down on my knees and prayed

And God answered our prayers, and mamma remarried
All the burdens she carried, I must admit that it was scary
So I got a real man as my father figure
Things started gettin′ better for my mamma and my sister


Pain took me from a boy to a man
I knew I'd make it to the end if I could stick to the plan
People judge me off my music, but they never even met me
But I'd introduce myself if you′d let me

See, I′ve been doin' this here for a while
Eventually, y′all boys gon' respect me dang
I′m Paul Wall, until it's over I′ma ball 'til I fall
I'm the greatest in a minute ch′all

Let me tell you, you knew me (knew me), the true me (true me)
Not the glamour and glitz that y′all do see (do see)
I'm just a regular G, I gotta do me (do me)
I′m 'bout to introduce y′all boys to the new me, (c'mon)

It′s more to me than all this glamour and glitz
I spent my whole life broke, I'm just tryin' to get rich
I kept it real all my life, I never stepped on toes
But somehow my friends keep turnin′ into my foes

My ex keeps calling me, but I don′t wanna talk to her
But then she called the laws on me like I'm the one stalking her
My new girl says I don′t love her enough
But all the hatin' friends jealous ′cause I love her too much


I'm drinking bottles of Patron tryin′ to drink away my troubles
But being an alcoholic only makes things double
People judge me off my music, but they never even met me
But I'd introduce myself if you'd let me (Paul Wall baby)

See, I′ve been doin′ this here for a while
Eventually, y'all boys gon′ respect me dang
I'm Paul Wall, until it′s over I'ma ball ′til I fall
I'm the greatest in a minute ch'all

Let me tell you if you knew me (knew me)
Yeah, the true me (true me)
Not the glamour and glitz that y′all do see (do see)
I′m just a regular G, I gotta do me (do me)
I'm ′bout to introduce y'all boys to the new me (c′mon)

You think you know me Maine? But you don't know me Maine
Just because you shake my hand, doesn′t mean that you my homey Maine
It's people prayin' on my downfall
And I can′t understand why, ′cause I show love to all y'all

People are grateful for the favors you show ′em
But when they need you for another one, they still act like you owe 'em
Everybody be takin′ credit for somethin' they ain′t do
But you need to quit reachin' and stand on your own too

I always stayed humble, I never once changed
I never got a ego or a big head 'cause of fame
People judge me off my music but they never even met me
But I′d introduce myself if you′d let me (Paul Wall baby)

See I've been doin′ this here for a while
Eventually y'all boys gon′ respect me dawg
I'm Paul Wall, until it′s over I'ma ball 'til I fall
I′m the greatest in a minute ch′all

Let me tell you if you knew me (knew me)
Yeah, the true me (true me)
Not the glamour and glitz that y'all do see (do see)
I′m just a regular G, I gotta do me (do me)
I'm ′bout to introduce y'all boys to the new me (c′mon)

I'm Paul Wall, I'm the People′s Champ, but it ain′t easy bein' me
I′ve done put in my fair share of work, f'real (knew me, yeah, the true me, the true me)
Passin′ out flowers at the club, baby
Doin' freestyles that don′t go on mixtapes

I ain't understand it then, but now I understand it
It's a bigger picture than just what you think
You gotta think outside the box and try to make it

(It′s chess moves, not checkers baby)
