Midnight rush with a pen in my hand.
Dinkin', linkin', sand-script with a fan.
Remembering me before we began.
Sometimes I feel so Def in the Jam.
But the ones who loved me, told me to stop.
Like homegirl can't catch shit if it drops.
A superwoman chick, you know that I am.
Some shit don't fly by me in a man.
'Cuz I do not accept any less
than someone just as real, as fabulous.
Don't want no paper gangsta.
Won't sign away my life to
someone who's got the flavor
but don't got 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.
Uh oh
Don't want no paper gangsta.
Uh oh
Don't want no paper gangsta.
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 have been rapping to the beat of my song Mr. California,
Paper gangsta and I'm looking for love, not an empty page.
Full of stuff that means nothing but "You've been played."
'Cuz I do not accept any less
than someone just as real, as fabulous.
Don't want no paper gangsta.
Won't sign away my life to
someone who's got the flavor
but don't got 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.
Uh oh
Don't want no paper gangsta.
Uh oh
Don't want no paper gangsta.
Don't want no paper gangsta.
Oh oooooooh yeah
Oh oooooooh yeah
Oh oooooooh yeah
Don't want no paper gangsta.
Won't sign away my life to
someone who's got the flavor
but don't got 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.
Don't want no paper gangsta.
Won't sign away my life to
someone who's got the flavor
but don't got 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.
Uh oh
Don't want no paper gangsta.
