Jay-Tee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Uhh (paper chase)
Bonnie n Clyde
Y'all motherfuckers know how it's goin down
(Gotta get that paper y'all)
That's right, uhh
(Uh-huh uh, yeah, Roc-a-Fella, yeah
Paper chase y'all, paper chase whatT? Uh)
Greyhound bitch, stay down bitch
Bout to set up shop with Jay, round this bitch
Half a brick of Yay', 'bout to lay down this bitch
('Til November?) Nah, I'm here to like slay down this bitch
What you think? I don't wanna have to spray down this bitch
Call my whole team, from around the way down this bitch
I'm tryin to stay down this bitch, play down this bitch
Had a sound, so my nigga Jay drown the six
Roll the windows down and, wait round this bitch
But there's a couple things 'fore it's OK round this bitch
I gotta talk to the natives, let em know I'm here
For all to get the paydays, first I line up all the haters
I got jobs for ya, drop stars for ya
More arms than Green Bay's Brett Favre for ya
Money propositions hope that's not a problem for ya
If so, Jigga be here, day after tomorrow for ya (that's right!)
Gotta get that paper dog
Gotta touch that, love that, paper dog, uhh!
Gotta get that paper dog
Gotta have that grab that paper dog!
Gotta get that paper dog
Gotta spend that, bend that, split that, get that
Gotta get that paper dog
When I needs that, G stack, tell me where the weed's at?
I got my two guns, I came to scoop ones
A down ass bitch and she down to click
Got a nice little hooptie that I get around with
And my plan is, not to leave this town 'til I'm rich
Gotta find a nigga sellin all them ounces and shit
Tell them get down with the click or get found in a ditch
See I drop down and strip, I turn around and spit
Not to hit em, just to let em know the sound of shit
Return later that evening in the club with Fox
And I got the snub nosed for those that love to box
I'm in search of them young niggas that hug the block
All day, til it's light gray outside
Shoot dice talkin shit all day outside
And even when it's hot, they outside
Let em know, how it's gon' go, Bonnie n Clyde
And ayo, you will want me on your side
Gotta get that paper dog
Gotta touch that, love that, paper dog, uhh!
Gotta get that paper dog
Gotta have that grab that paper dog!
Gotta get that paper dog
Gotta spend that, bend that, split that, get that
Gotta get that paper dog
When I needs that, G stack, tell me where the weed's at?
I got that stress and I got it the best
I ain't got it to give but I got it to test
And if you wanna get down, all you gotta invest
Is your time, I gotta move this in a, week or less
For the next couple of days I brought her all I possess
The Rolex, necklaces with the VVS
Between the driver and the passenger with a TV rest
For my top draft picks I cop the new GS
Now all the little soldiers wanna roll with my team
'Cause I ain't sold 'em a dream, I just showed em the cream
Picked em up in the afternoons and told 'em some things
You know the regular shit you do when you moldin them teens
Yo, never lay your head where you holdin them things
Your family then your business, nothing goes in between
Never fear no man, put four in his Beem
Drop your gun then, blow the scene, ya heard me?
Gotta get that paper dog
Gotta touch that, love that, paper dog, uhh!
Gotta get that paper dog
Gotta have that grab that paper dog!
Gotta get that paper dog
Gotta spend that, bend that, split that, get that
Gotta get that paper dog
When I needs that, G stack, tell me where the weed's at?
