Paperwork

Don't do no business until you check his paperwork

And if all else fails I just hope that this paperwork

Wanna swing Bentley doors blow smoke through the roof

Everything got a cost they gone need something on you

Paperwork

ATL Westside that's the only home I know

In 85 me and Uncle Quint used to ride around in the Big Bronco

Took me up to Charles Disco

Daytime set me down at the bar

Where I drank Shirley Temple

'Til he walked out with a bag and we got back in the car

What you wanna be he asked when you grow up big kid

I just wanna be like you ridin' round town gettin' bread

We shot a couple lac couple summer pass

Uncle Quint ain't nowhere to be found

Later we learn that someone ratted him out

For that reason 10 years he won't be around

Paperwork

Don't do no business until you check his paperwork

And if all else fails I just hope that this paperwork

Wanna swing Bentley doors blow smoke through the roof

Everything got a cost they gone need something on you

Paperwork

Picture me in 93

I'm the only man I see

Fresh up off the porch

Lookin' for a drop Porsche and a fake ID

Duce me to the crack game

Rap game was the furthest from my mind

Had a notebook full of rhymes

And a pocket full of crack rock dimes

Time on my side lift 45 in my jeans

Open fire if you seem to be blocking my dreams yes sir

Welfare food stamps

Section eight me and ma lived in the trap

I said f**k school it holdin' me back

I wanna bankroll chasin' after that

Paperwork

Don't do no business until you check his paperwork

And if all else fails I just hope that this paperwork

Wanna swing Bentley doors blow smoke through the roof

Everything got a cost they gone need something on you

Paperwork

Look at me at 17

Livin' on my own peddlin'

Quarter ki now and then sellin' w**d

Tokin' too cost my first felony

That's one of many that were to follow

Drinkin' Henney up out the bottle

Told a child I think I'm bein' followed

Family don't think I'll live to see tomorrow

Plenty have a story like mine

Know many of you had a little nine

Know many of you did a little dirt

Too many of us did a little time

Wake up 10 years of your life passed

When you get your cake up

Don't it seem like that

When the feds on your a** passin' out

Paperwork

Don't do no business until you check his paperwork

And if all else fails I just hope that this paperwork

Wanna swing Bentley doors blow smoke through the roof

Everything got a cost they gone need something on you

If you think that you high baby look above you

It's drones in the sky there's nothing you could do

So left two three snap

Right two three snap

Don't get serious now it's too late for that

Cause they got

Time on my side lift 45 in my jean

Open fire if you seem to be blocking my dreams yes sir

Paperwork

Don't do no business until you check his paperwork

And if all else fails I just hope that this paperwork

Wanna swing Bentley doors blow smoke through the roof

Everything got a cost they gone need something on you
