Lyrics
Paper Gangsta
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Midnight rush, with a pen in my hand
Inkin Lincoln, sand-script with a fan
Remembering me before it began
Sometimes I feel so Def in the Jam
But the ones who love me told me to stop
Like homegirl can't catch shit if it drops
A superwoman chick, you know that I am
Some shit don't fly by me in a man
'Cause I do not accept any less
Than someone just as real, as fabulous
Don't want no paper gangsta
Won't sign away my life to
Someone who's got the flavor
But don't have no follow through
Don't want no paper gangsta
Won't sign no monkey papers
I don't do funny business
Not interested in fakers
Don't want no paper gangsta, uh, oh
Don't want no paper gangsta, uh, oh
Don't want no paper gangsta
Don't want no paper gangsta
Got something really shiny to start
Want me to sign there on your Range Rover heart?
I've heard it before, yeah, the dinners were nice
Till your diamond words melted into some ice
You should been rapping to the beat of my song
Mr. California, paper gangsta and
I'm lookin' for love, not an empty page
Full of stuff that means nothing, but you've been played
'Cause I do not accept any less
Than someone just as real, as fabulous
Don't want no paper gangsta
Won't sign away my life to
Someone who's got the flavor
But don't have no follow through
Don't want no paper gangsta
Won't sign no monkey papers
I don't do funny business
Not interested in fakers
Don't want no paper gangsta, uh, oh
Don't want no paper gangsta, uh, oh
Don't want no paper gangsta
Don't want no paper gangsta
Don't want no paper gangsta
Won't sign away my life to
Someone who's got the flavor
But don't have no follow through
Don't want no paper gangsta
Won't sign no monkey papers
I don't do funny business
Not interested in fakers
Don't want no paper gangsta
Won't sign away my life to
Someone who's got the flavor
But don't have no follow through
Don't want no paper gangsta
Won't sign no monkey papers
I don't do funny business
Not interested in fakers
Don't want no paper gangsta, uh, oh
Don't want no paper gangsta, uh, oh
Don't want no paper gangsta
Don't want no paper gangsta
Don't want no paper gangsta
Don't want no paper gangsta
