Paper

Hook:

Overnight paper, pockets filled but my heart still colder, ayy,

Runnin’ for the commas, but the nights get bolder, ayy,

Fast money, fast friends, watch how they fold, huh,

Bought a little peace but the price got told, ayy, yeah.

Verse 1:

Came up from the projects with a suitcase full of plans,

Small-time nights turned to big-time bands, I had to expand,

Shined for the city, they applauded but they never understand,

How a hungry kid trade sleep for a dream, trade time for the grand.

Count it up, flip it quick, watch the ledger get thicker,

Pour a toast to the past but my vision got bitter,

Mama said slow down, baby, don’t let the devil glitter,

But the fast lane call my name every block, every winter.

Chain swing on my chest, but the weight feel heavier,

Fake smiles on the ‘gram, enemies look friendlier,

Used to share the last slice, now they schemin’ to be winner,

I pay my dues in cash, still owe peace to the inner.

Hook:

Overnight paper, pockets filled but my heart still colder, ayy,

Runnin’ for the commas, but the nights get bolder, ayy,

Fast money, fast friends, watch how they fold, huh,

Bought a little peace but the price got told, ayy, yeah.

Verse 2:

Whippin’ through the city, top down, neon buzz,

Still hear the block whispers, remindin’ what it was,

Streets taught me chess not checkers, playin’ for what’s ours,

But the clock tick different when you countin’ stars.

Investments in the crew, investments in the block,

But when the oven cools, who gon’ answer at the cost?

Few nights of champagne, long days of lost,

Fast money build a house but it ain’t built to last.

I keep a list of names, watchin’ who steady with me,

Motives switch like winter coats, loyalty never pretty,

If you only here for paper, that’s a temporary city,

Real ones stay through storms, through the weeds, through the pity.

Bridge:

I seen the price tag on the life I chose,

Luxury got lonely when the people froze,

Trade my youth for digits, watch the garden close,

Fast money feed the moment but it leave you exposed.

Pray for better days, not just bigger bands,

Wanna heal the fam, not just flash on fans,

If the road get dark, I still hold they hands,

Fast money move fast, but love gotta stand.

Hook / Outro:

Overnight paper, pockets filled but my heart still colder, ayy,

Runnin’ for the commas, but the nights get bolder, ayy,

Fast money, fast friends, watch how they fold, huh,

Bought a little peace but the price got told, ayy, yeah.

Overnight paper — keep what’s real closer, keep the rest on hold, ayy.

Porque music

See you when I see you
