[Verse 1]
Midnight rush, with a pen in my hand
Dinkin Lincoln, sand-script with a fan
Remembering me, before we began
Sometimes I felt so Def in the Jam
But the ones who loved me, told me to stop
Like home girl can't catch sh** if it drops
A superwoman chick, you know that I am
Some sh** don't fly by me in a man
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I do not accept any less
Than someone just as real, as fabulous
[Chorus]
Don't want no paper gangsta
Won't sign away my life to
Someone whose 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, oh oh
Don't want no paper gangsta, oh oh
Don't want no paper gangsta
Don't want no paper gangsta
[Verse 2]
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 be rapping to the beat of my song
Mr. California, paper gangsta raw
I'm looking for love, not an empty page
Full of stuff that means nothing but “You've been played”
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I do not accept any less
Than someone just as real, as fabulous
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Word Play]
Don't want no paper gangsta
Even though money runs the world like Hitler
She looking for love not lust, sir
Hopefully you can be her savior
Don't want no paper gangsta
Sitting down, drinking vodka spending paper
So alone, she looking really lonely
I think she needs a masked caper
Don't want no paper gangsta
In Chicago with her people like a mobster
You a player, she don't need that with her
She good like cheddar biscuits at Red Lobster
[Chorus]
