Paradise Lyrics - Brandon Beal

[Chorus: Olivia Holt] 

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 

[Verse 1: Brandon Beal] 

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 

[Pre-Chorus: Brandon Beal] 

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 

[Chorus: Olivia Holt] 

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 

[Verse 2: Brandon Beal] 

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 

[Pre-Chorus: Brandon Beal] 

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 

[Chorus: Olivia Holt] 

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 

[Bridge: Olivia Holt & Brandon Beal] 

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 

[Chorus: Olivia Holt] 

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
