[Verse 1: C-Mob]
I've been on the grind since I can remember
365 from January until December
This elevation that is taking place to the sky
I'm on a motherfucking paper chase, do or die
Who am I? I rip stages like pages
Wanna book me? You gotta pay for that
State facts, charge your cover
You'll make your paper back and then some
I put in more work than a toolkit, to the bullshit I've been numb
Gotta keep my mind full of peace, I gotta increase my income
I'm always focused on mine
People who entertain drama arе the brokest you'll find
I'm one of thе dopest to rhyme and you will know this in time
Gotta get my paper right, day and night, so I can shine
[Pre-Chorus: DarreinSTL]
And everything is not okay
In time we say we'll find a way
Before we slave, I like the way I let the paper lead my way
[Chorus: DarrienSTL]
Things might get crazy in time
But I'm always focused and worried on mine
They be talking slick but my money is time
So I don't got time to be reading they lines
Every script is on paper, oh oh oh oh
And I'ma get paper, oh oh oh oh
Young hustler get paper, oh oh oh oh
Even if they bitch you want papers, papers, papers
[Verse 2: KXNG Crooked]
Think about it like this man, some of y'all had a foundation
I was raised in the quicksand, so hungry, looking like a stick
While my mama talking to the rent man
He want every damn cent, and
We ain't got it, now I'm feeling like we ain't 'posed to be here
Like I snuck in VIP without no wristband
The big plan: either I'ma be a killa on the streets or on the beats
Either way I be a hitman
Gotta chase my rap dreams, sick of wearing these wack jeans
Sick of sitting on the bus stop with the crack fiends, I'm a black king
I'ma stack green, I got hustle in my veins just like a vaccine
That's the cure for the bad things, kept rapping 'til I had cream
Climbing up the ladder, lining up the data, I don't have to figure out a caper
Even though I don't write nothing down I don't ever rap without the paper
[Pre-Chorus: DarreinSTL]
And everything is not okay
In time we say we'll find a way
Before we slave, I like the way I let the paper lead my way
[Chorus: DarrienSTL]
Things might get crazy in time
But I'm always focused and worried on mine
They be talking slick but my money is time
So I don't got time to be reading they lines
Every script is on paper, oh oh oh oh
And I'ma get paper, oh oh oh oh
Young hustler get paper, oh oh oh oh
Even if they bitch you want papers, papers, papers
[Verse 3: C-Mob]
This life's a struggle
But you gotta rise up against the odds
I went from living in madness to being in the midst of Gods
Everyone who listen nods, but don't think when you get applause
That means they wanna see you win
Gotta watch for the ones who walk around with facades
These opportunists show fake love and fake smiles
Waiting for you to give 'em an inch so they can take miles
They hate while you grind for the paper you chase now
People are slithering cause they can't stand on their own two feet these snakes foul
Well fuck em, focus on finding ways to be making mail
And they can fail, trying to follow you on yo paper trail
They're taking Ls, fake and frail, steadily hate and wail
I'ma keep doing my thang and making sales
[Pre-Chorus: DarreinSTL]
And everything is not okay
In time we say we'll find a way
Before we slave, I like the way I let the paper lead my way
[Chorus: DarrienSTL]
Things might get crazy in time
But I'm always focused and worried on mine
They be talking slick but my money is time
So I don't got time to be reading they lines
Every script is on paper, oh oh oh oh
And I'ma get paper, oh oh oh oh
Young hustler get paper, oh oh oh oh
Even if they bitch you want papers, papers, papers
[Outro: DarrienSTL]
Things might get crazy in time
But I'm always focused and worried on mine
They be talking slick but my money is time
So I don't got time to be reading they lines
Every script is on paper, paper, paper, paper
