"The Paper" lyrics

That's how it was and that's how it is
Get the, get the paper so I don't care about
Get the, get the paper so I don't care about
Get the, get the paper so I don't care about
Get the, get the paper so I don't care about
Put it to music, I didn't have the time
To put a dope beat to this def rhyme, so

I was stuck in ICU last year, this time
Now I'm thirty mills up when I write this rhyme (Woo)
Bullet wounds in my head, it's why I slur when I talk
Cold breeze in my heart burn through New York
Duckin', makin' sales, fuck a jail cell
Bitin' down off a pill, hope Max beat the pale bail (Talk to 'em)
Posted on the block, stayin' broke hit a nerve
Talkin' jets, I'm Mike Tyson on the roof with the bird
Hundred-fifty for a feature, five thou' every word
Youngins grimy in New York, even your mama gettin' served
Servin' rocks, had the state prop' with the low pocket (Woo)
Off a yacht, on my stomach, yeah, the only time I'm floppin'
Got the drop, you the plug, I'll blow out your socket
Non-stop, slidin' with the sticks, youngin' playin' hockey

Get the, get the paper so I don't care about
Get the, get the paper so I don't care about
Get the, get the paper so I don't care about
Get the, get the paper so I don't care about
Put it to music, I didn't have the time
To put a dope beat to this def rhyme, so

From twenty packs, twelve twelves and a fifty-eighth (Aye)
From twenty mill' in Calabasas on real estate (Woo)
Passed the front gate, park bench, it was me
She never met French, how she talkin' 'bout "We"?
First they took Max (Free Max), then I lost Chinx (Uh)
Then Ross put me on (Talk to 'em), then Diddy got me rich
Quarter mill' for a show, hundred thou' for a "Haan"
Hundred mill' singles sold, stop fuckin' with the man
Only Gs from my cloth lookin' like Dapper Dan
Quarter mill' on Tom Brady, that's about half a M
Silverback ape, free Casanova out the can
Montana was the name, Coke Boys was the stamp, haan

Get the, get the paper so I don't care about
Get the, get the paper so I don't care about
Get the, get the paper so I don't care about
Get the, get the paper so I don't care about
Put it to music, I didn't have the time
To put a dope beat to this def rhyme, so

Get the, get the paper so I don't care about
Put it to music, I didn't have the time
Put a, put a dope beat to this def rhyme, so
