Wall's first music industry exposure came as a street team member on the Northwest side of Houston, promoting southern artists such as T.I. and labels like Cash Money and The New No Limit. He is also an accomplished and proficient mixtape and party DJ, known for producing mixtapes in the now-well-known screwed & chopped style, which was invented by the late DJ Screw. While he has recently stated on record that South LE. (in Houston's southside) is his base of operations, it is not the neighborhood that Paul Wall is actually from. Paul Wall has claimed several such neighborhoods over his career, starting with De Soto in Acres Homes (his original home neighborhood), then switching to Gulf Bank (also in Acres Homes).
Paul Wall, Chamillionaire and Jon Higgins were originally affiliated with Swishahouse Records, but left for Paid in Full Records a short time later. After several mixtape and independent releases, including the critically acclaimed 'Get Ya Mind Correct', the two parted ways on bad terms. Chamillionaire continued to release independent records, while Paul Wall returned to the Swishahouse fold. This move allowed him to appear on Mike Jones' first commercially distributed single, "Still Tippin'", from his first major label album 'Who Is Mike Jones?'.
His major label debut, 'The People's Champ', has produced a lead single, "Sittin' Sidewayz", which is receiving national radio and television play. In August, 2005, rumors began to circulate that Paul Wall and Chamillionaire had settled any differences that remained between them, and are again on good terms with one another. Paul Wall also appeared with GLC on the song "Drive Slow" on Kanye West's second solo album, 'Late Registration'.
Paul Wall is the owner and proprietor of TV Jewelry in Houston. The store specializes in the production of grills, silver, gold, or platinum caps and diamond inlays (usually princess-cut diamonds). Grills have become a growing trend in rap culture and have even influenced its own song. "Grillz", by Nelly featuring Paul Wall along with other artists, where at one point Paul raps "Call me George Foreman 'cause I'm sellin' everybody grillz.)

I believe I can fly fly fly 2x

Cologne Kush and henny, I'm gone in that hemi

They say I need a pull-up when I pull up I'm the shit man
When I grow up I wanna be like t-pain a hit man
But do yourself a favor partna don't be talkin shit man
Your broad done up and broke your heart my whole squad hit man
Hold up I see dead people, its just the dead white guys on my bread people
(Chorus)

Stacking my chips I got a bank full of doritos

See I'm higher than the price of gas gone off vanilla cream
Rolling off of mac dre leaning like a triple beam

The song "Fly" by Paul Wall is a rap song that is primarily focused on the experience of being high. The song is not only about smoking weed, but it is also about the feeling of being on top of the world. The chorus repeats the line "I believe I can fly" several times, which is a reference to the famous R. Kelly song of the same name. This treatment of the line is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the extreme sportsman who takes to the skies.
The first verse by Yung Joc begins with him sitting in a high-end sports car and feeling like he can fly. His confidence is further reinforced by the car's luxurious features, and he refers to himself as a "hit man." He goes on to dismiss those who might criticize him and emphasizes his success with women. He even references a line from the movie, The Sixth Sense, in which the singer can see dead people, to describe how he feels about his current situation.
In the second verse, Paul Wall compares himself to a mosquito and talks about how much higher he is than average people. The rapper raps about smoking weed and speaks of his love for purple rain. He is proud of his flashy and fast lifestyle, and he boasts of having diamonds in his mouth that sparkle like Sprite.
Gorilla Zoe takes over the third verse and tells a story of his high status and wealth, implying that he could change anyone's life who associates with him. He speaks of being in the club and smoking heavily while trying to impress women with his lifestyle.
