Paper
Falz Lyrics

Dem say see danger o
People are warning about the dangers

You no dey see danger o
But you are unable to see the dangers

No go loose your center o
Don't lose your sense of self

All because of paper o
Just because of money

Ahn all because you want to live the fagi life
All because you want to live a luxurious lifestyle

You ready to pay the price do the sacrifice
You are willing to do anything and sacrifice everything

You ready to pay the price take your mama life
You are even willing to harm your own mother

And even you no fit explain this your appetite
And you cannot explain this insatiable desire

You want the Benz you no wan take the taxify
You want a luxury car, you refuse to use public transportation

You wan order gold bottles eh maybe 35
You want to order expensive bottles, maybe worth 35 thousand

You wan hala private jet things when you catching flight
You want to scream about private jet experiences when you travel

And you dey she werey losun
And you pretend to be insane

You don dey bark for night
You are barking at night

Skeletons in your closet
Secrets and hidden wrongdoings

You murdered to chow supper
You killed to have a good meal

All the rub for powder you swallow to pass border
All the drugs you swallowed to cross the border

All the person pikin you carry for tight corner
All the children you exploit in secret

I see you when you collect ekuje oga olopa oga olopa
I see you when you collect bribe, police officer, police officer

Dem say you talk say you dey find raba
People say you claim to be seeking wealth

Na so you go and deep your two hands in foul matter
So you resort to getting involved in dirty dealings

Oga this one you dey do e pass armed robber
Sir, what you are doing is worse than being an armed robber

You turn criminal because you want chow dollar
You became a criminal because you want to amass wealth

Ahn all because they offered you a little Dollar
All because they offered you a small amount of money (bribe)

Na which kind foolish marriage wey you throw your daughter
What kind of foolish marriage did you force your daughter into

Small girl pikin wey her hero still be Dora
A young girl whose hero is still Dora the Explorer

Small pikin there wey never suppose to leave the mother
A young child who is not yet supposed to leave their mother's care

You need to hammer you need to get the dough e dey important
You want to succeed, you want to make money, it is important

You want to chop national cake you dey pray for contract
You want to get corrupt government contracts to enrich yourself

Dem give you Ghana must go make you change the number
They give you a bag of money to change your loyalty

Voting never start you don dey say your congrats
Voting hasn't even begun, but you are already claiming victory

Why your people no fit hide this long throat
Why can't your people hide their greed

No go use your dirty hand stain the white for my clothe
Don't use your corrupt ways to tarnish my reputation

Mouth full of jokes hand full of notes
You talk a lot, but your hands are full of money

Oh I hear your people collect price for some votes
Oh, I hear your people sell their votes for a price

Dem say you talk say you no like suffer
People say you claim not to like suffering

Na so you go and deep your two hands in our coughers
So you go and steal from our coffers

Oga this one you dey do e pass armed robber
Sir, what you are doing is worse than being an armed robber

Throway moral because you want chow Dollar
You abandon morals because you want to amass money
