In My Paper
J.Lately Lyrics

cll I need is some green in my paper
I only need money to feel satisfied and secure in life

cll this stressing ain't even my nature
I am not naturally inclined to feel stressed or overwhelmed

My day job doesn't trip that I'm smoking
My employer doesn't have a problem with me smoking

Pray these odds will keep in my favor I
I hope that luck continues to be on my side

Might be on the go a little too much
I may be constantly busy and on the move

cll that moving slow doesn't do much
Taking things slowly doesn't bring much progress or fulfillment

I don't like to argue with you much
I prefer to avoid unnecessary conflicts or disagreements

Rather blow big smoke like kahunas
I would rather indulge in smoking and enjoy myself

Why you wanna save your soul just to waste it
Why would you want to preserve your essence only to squander it

I was smoking mid I could taste it
I was smoking average-quality marijuana and could clearly perceive its flavor

Studio just a mic in the closet
My studio setup is simple, with just a microphone in the closet

Still that shit drip like faucet oh yeah
Even with limited resources, my music still has a strong impact and flows effortlessly

Know some people who owe me still
There are individuals who still owe me favors or money

Know some people who could call me bro but don't know me still
There are people who consider me a friend but truly don't know or understand me

I be hella shy some people take it as phony still
I am naturally introverted and some people misinterpret it as being disingenuous

I could tell my mind to chill but bet that it won't be still
I can try to calm my mind, but it is unlikely to become still or quiet

Running like athletes
I am constantly busy and active, like athletes in a race

Bet my feet following at least
I am confident that I am constantly moving forward in life

Yall got boredom I got that least
While others may experience boredom, I have the least of it

I got work in the morning shit's weak
Having work in the morning is tiring and unsatisfying

Single still overperforming this week
Even though I am single, I have been achieving above expectations this week

I should be rolling up more in this sweet huh
I should be rolling more marijuana joints in this enjoyable atmosphere, right?

Just light a candle in the room
I simply want to create a soothing atmosphere by lighting a candle

Won't let the landlord kill my mood
I won't allow the landlord or external factors to negatively affect my state of mind

I don't bounce your checks
I don't write bad checks or cause financial problems

So don't worry which ounce burns next
Don't worry about which specific amount of marijuana is being used next

cnd that's exactly how I feel my dude
And that's precisely how I feel, my friend

Rather start my day with a smile though
I prefer to begin my day with a positive and joyful mindset

Your loss it doesn't mean that they hit the lotto
Your disappointment doesn't equate to them winning a lottery

Their loss it doesn't do that much to benefit me
Their disappointment doesn't bring significant advantages or benefits to me

Not like when they give me free weed and send it swiftly
It's not as beneficial as when they give me free marijuana and deliver it promptly

cll that ra-ra in the booth and pen is iffy
All the aggressive energy and bravado in the recording booth and while writing lyrics is uncertain or questionable

I don't got enough self confidence to do that
I lack the self-assurance to exhibit that level of confidence

I don't got enough fake friends to be where you at
I don't have enough insincere friends to be in the same position as you

I didn't think she'd do all of that in a BYU hat
I didn't expect her to engage in all those activities while wearing a hat representing Brigham Young University

True that
That's true

Look cause
Listen because

Counting up dollars
Accumulating money

Born and raised in the Bean I ain't worried bout followers
Being born and raised in Boston, I don't concern myself with gaining a large number of followers

Now I'm living in Lc popping my collar
Now that I'm residing in Lake County, I'm confident and self-assured

Cali kush I was blowing got me drinking the water
Smoking high-quality marijuana from California made me thirsty for water

cvoiding these PFcS, smoking the reef I
I am avoiding perfluorinated chemicals while enjoying the effects of smoking marijuana

Selling little nuggets trying to buy some pizza
I am selling small quantities of marijuana in order to purchase pizza

Just a young kid getting high in the basement
I used to be a young individual who enjoyed getting high in the basement

Now I'm so close to success I can taste it
Now I am on the verge of achieving success, and I can feel it within reach

What's life if it's wasted
What is the value of life if it is squandered or not fully appreciated

cnd what's a joint if I faced it
And what's the purpose of a marijuana joint if I consume it all at once?

Been going hard for so long got caught up in these songs but
I have been working tirelessly for a long time and got absorbed in creating music, but

Really I was just jaded and I made it out
In reality, I was simply disenchanted, but I managed to overcome it

Gave myself a new light I ain't fading out
I embraced a new perspective and I am not losing my energy or enthusiasm

Rolling up a couple O's when I'm feeling down
In times of sadness or melancholy, I roll a couple of marijuana joints

cll I need is the green in my paper
All I need is money to feel content and secure in life

If you ain't rocking that lamp city then see you later
If you are not supporting and representing the city of Lowell, then I don't want to associate with you anymore
