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 some 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 into 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 ask
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 someone ratted him out
For that reason 10 years he won't be around

Paperwork
Picture me in 93 I'm the only man I see
Fresh up off the porch looking
For the drop porsche and the fake I'd
Introduce 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 lift45 in my jean
Open fire if you seem to be blocking my dreams yessir
Welfare food stamps section eight
Me and ma lived in the trap
I said ***** 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 some on you
Paperwork
Look at me at 17 livin' on my own peddlin' quarter key
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
Pay to have a story like mine
Not many you had a little nine
Not many and you did a little dirt
Too many did a little time
Wake up 10 years of your life pass
When you get your cake up
Don't it seem like a 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 some 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 lil 45 in my jeans
Open fire if you seem to be blocking my dreams yessir
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 some on you
