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.)

Paul Wall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Statik on the track you murdered it
I'm all thorough that's affirmative
Being fake now I ain't for that shit
I'm going flawless all permanent
I'm known to turn heads like a turna kit
I turn your bitch and now she turning tricks
I turn rich I tell my son to watch out the game can get merciless
Not having my bread that be pernicious
I'm all over the paper yeah I'm quite like a journalist
And first before you diss understand this
I'm too busy worrying about me
Granted I took the love for granted
But I manage to vanish before commitment landed
You changed the standard when damage came in the picture
Pucker up kiss ass nigga
No bad liver my lungs leaking this gas though
Tadpoles caught in a maze behind a blackhole
Three dollars and six ten strips was on my dresser hoe
Let me know serving revenge cold
Warm it up for no souls
I used to play Sudoku
Cop the miles for me
If you ain't got it I gotchu
But you gotta get busy
My nigga Bently covers puddles for me as I fall through
We split the cizy in fourths that's how we stay together
She said of course when I ask for Ty damn you matured
Talk about him get descriptive like you talk to the lord
I couldn't vouch if I ain't seen you had to cut down the noise
I hate to see it but these niggas fuck boys they null and void
Fuck your life, where your mask at
You know the fuckin vibes
You ain't even gotta ask that
Feeding fiends percocets like they had a bad back
Laughin at the game because all of these rappers ass crack
Corona left some of yall exposed
Can't survive 3 months without doing shows
Rappers that are lesser-known you hit em up for a spot on your mixtape
That's how we know you broke you dick face
Pay homage when you see me its the fuckin god
You never been up north how you rappin bout the yard
Talkin like you hard but I know that you butt
I smack the reme offa your hat
Then ask you what's up
Fuck your life the only brand that I rock
Live from Coney Island we be blamming at cops
I only fuck shorty cuz her man was a op
Knocked him out his shoes like he has cancerous socks
Imma keep it two Virgils with you
Every word official don't let this burner lift you
Set you up go and send a lil bird to kiss you
With a german pistol full of murder missiles
These rappers washed up who I gotta clean next
Momma in the church weeping in the Kleenex
You insane if you thinkin that its me next
PTSD stretch you off a reflex
Before the all a shazam it was jammies
Running up in them panties had them popping them plan Bs
Foul gentleman burner under the letterman
Ketamine peddling for presidents we devilish
War ready leave em all buried extraordinary
Pennin' heavy get em all ready for the cemetery
Them rappers that you love, they love me
Like Bun B fuck the police they can't defund me
The opening lines of the song "No Tolerance" by Paul Wall and Termanology refer to the skills and talent of the duo in terms of wordplay and music production. They mention that the beat produced by Statik is outstanding and that they have nailed it. Paul confidently states that he is not fake and strives for perfection. He is known for turning heads and achieving success that is permanent. While he has seen enough of the game's cruelty, he is fully dedicated to providing a better life for his child. They rap about their ruthless nature when it comes to competition and money, making it clear that they can be merciless. Paul Wall stresses that he is too busy focusing on himself rather than engaging in a war of words with his haters.
In the following verses, Termanology takes over the mic to talk about his past relationships, money-making tactics, and the music industry. He admits that he has taken love for granted in the past but has learned to walk out before a commitment can harm a relationship. He criticizes the people who have changed their standards after suffering damage and those who are constantly kissing up to the people at the top. Termanology claims that he has been there for his friends during difficult times, providing them with the drug that they need. His rough exterior makes him less reliable for others to criticize him.
