Lyrics

Paper Planes

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.

I fly like paper, get high like planes

If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name

If you come around here, I make 'em all day

I get one done in a second if you wait

I fly like paper, get high like planes

If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name

If you come around here, I make 'em all day

I get one done in a second if you wait

Sometimes I think sitting on trains

Every stop I get to I'm clocking that game

Everyone's a winner, we're making our fame

Bona fide hustler making my name

Sometimes I think sitting on trains

Every stop I get to I'm clocking that game

Everyone's a winner, we're making our fame

Bona fide hustler making my name

All I wanna do is

And a

And take your money

All I wanna do is

And a

And take your money

All I wanna do is

And take your money

All I wanna do is

And take your money

Pirate skulls and bones

Sticks and stones and weed and bongs

Running when we hit 'em

Lethal poison for the system

Pirate skulls and bones

Sticks and stones and weed and bombs

Running when we hit 'em

Lethal poison for the system

No one on the corner has swagger like us

Hit me on my burner prepaid wireless

We pack and deliver like UPS trucks

Already going hell just pumping that gas

No one on the corner has swagger like us

Hit me on my burner prepaid wireless

We pack and deliver like UPS trucks

Already going hell just pumping that gas

All I wanna do is

And a

And take your money

All I wanna do is

And a

And take your money

All I wanna do is

And a

And take your money

All I wanna do is

And a

And take your money

Yeah, I got more records than the K.G.B

So, uh, no funny business

Are you ready all?

Some some some I some I murder

Some I some I let go

Some some some I some I murder

Some I some I let go

All I wanna do is
