Lyrics
[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 it if it drop
A superwoman chick, you know that I am
Some shit don't fly by me in a man
[PreChorus]
'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 who's 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
[Chorus]
Don't want no paper gangsta, ooh-oh
Don't want no paper gangsta, ooh-oh
Don't want no paper gangsta
Don't want no paper gangsta
[Verse 2]
Got something real 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 have been rappin' 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"
[PreChorus]
'Cause I do not accept any less
Than someone just as real, as fabulous
[Verse 3]
Don't want no paper gangsta
Won't sign away my life to
Someone who's 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
[Chorus]
Don't want no paper gangsta, ooh-oh
Don't want no paper gangsta, ooh-oh
Don't want no paper gangsta
Don't want no paper gangsta
[Chorus]
Don't want no paper gangsta
Won't sign away my life to
Someone who's 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
[Chorus]
Don't want no paper gangsta
Won't sign away my life to
Someone who's 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
[Chorus]
Don't want no paper gangsta, ooh-oh
Don't want no paper gangsta, ooh-oh
Don't want no paper gangsta
Don't want no paper gangsta
[Outro]
Don't want no paper gangsta
Don't want no paper gangsta
